EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The AD7492 is a 12-bit high speed, low power, successive
approximation ADC. The part operates from a single 2.7 V to
5.25 V power supply and features a maximum throughput rate
of 1 MSPS. It contains a low noise, wide bandwidth track-andhold amplifier that can handle bandwidths up to 10 MHz.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled using
standard control inputs allowing for easy interface to microprocessors or DSPs. The input signal is sampled on the falling
edge of CONVST, and conversion is also initiated at this point.
The BUSY pin goes high at the start of conversion and goes low
880 ns later to indicate that the conversion is complete. There
are no pipeline delays associated with the part. The conversion
result is accessed via the standard CS and RD signals over a high
speed parallel interface.
The AD7492 uses advanced design techniques to achieve very
low power dissipation at high throughput rates. The part offers
flexible power/throughput rate management. It is also possible
to operate the part in full sleep mode and partial sleep mode,
where the part wakes up to do a conversion and automatically
enters a sleep mode at the end of conversion. The type of sleep
mode is hardware selected by the PS/FS pin. Using these sleep
modes allows very low power dissipation numbers at lower
throughput rates.
The analog input range for the part is 0 V to the reference
voltage. The 2.5 V reference is supplied internally and is
available for external referencing.
HARDWARE LINK OPTIONS
Before using the evaluation board, 13 link options must be set for
the required operating setup. Table 1 outlines the function of
these options. Table 1 shows the position in which all the links
are set when the evaluation board is packaged. Jumper and solder
link (LKx) options must be set correctly to select the appropriate
operating setup before using the evaluation board. The default
link positions are shown in Table 2, and the functions of these
options are outlined in Table 1

POWER SUPPLIES
PARALLEL INTERFACE
Take care before applying power and signals to the evaluation
board to ensure that all link positions are as required by the
operating mode.
The EVAL-AD7492SDZ communicates with the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z
board using level shifters. The EVAL-SDP-CB1Zoperates at a
3.3 V logic level. This allows VDRIVE voltages to exceed 3.3 V. An
external CONVST signal can be supplied to the board via the SK2
SMB. Parallel data can only be monitored via the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z
board and software. A break out board ADZS-BRKOUT-EX3 is
available that allows access to the digital lines.
When using the EVAL-AD7492SDZ in conjunction with the
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board, connect the dc transformer to the J700
connector. AVDD, DVDD, and VDRIVE are generated on-board. Each
supply is decoupled on the EVAL-AD7492SDZ using 10 µF and
0.1 µF capacitors. A single ground plane is used on this board to
minimize the effect of high frequency noise interference.

ANALOG INPUTS
REFERENCE OPTIONS
The analog input to the evaluation board can be either the SK1
SMB (push on) connector with a unipolar signal source or the
SK3 SMB (push on) connector when using a bipolar signal source.
The reference source can be from the AD7492 REF OUT pin or
the ADR431 ultralow noise XFET® voltage reference device (U5).
The unipolar input is buffered with dedicated circuitry (U3)
and discrete components, as shown in Figure 3.
Table 4 lists the connector functions of the evaluation board.
LK15 can be used to put a 50 Ω impedance matching load on the
input. LK10 is placed in Position B to connect the output of U3
to the AD7492.
The bipolar signal is buffered with dedicated circuitry (U4, U6,
and U9) along with the discreet components shown in Figure 4.
The circuit shown in Figure 4 allows for different configurations,
and an external source can be applied to bias the input voltage.
The analog input buffer amplifier (U3) is set as a unity gain buffer.
The amplifier positive rail is driven from ±5 V (from ADP1613,
U801, that is used to drive a dual rail, power supply, SEPIC Cuk
configuration), which can be changed to a different value, as
required, by using the external terminals on J800. LK801 and
LK802 must be set to Position B to drive the amplifiers from an
external source. For dynamic performance, an FFT test can be
done by applying a very low distortion ac source.

EVAL-AD7492SDZ BASIC HARDWARE SETUP
The AD7492 evaluation board connects to the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z.
The EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board is a controller board that is the
communication link between the PC and the main evaluation
board. Figure 2 shows a photograph of the connections made
between the AD7492 daughter board and the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z
board.
Before connecting power, connect the EVAL-AD7492SDZ board
to Connector A or Connector B on the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board.
Nylon screws are included in the EVAL-AD7492SDZ evaluation
kit and can be used to ensure that the EVAL-AD7492SDZ and
the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z boards are connected firmly together.
Once the EVAL-AD7492SDZ and the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z boards

standalone mode for data analysis, and the part information
notes the part number pulled from the saved data file.
Sampling frequency (fig says Sampling Rate?). The default
sampling frequency matches the maximum sample rate of
the ADC connected to the board. Users can adjust the
sampling frequency; however, there are limitations around
the sample frequency, where unusable sample frequencies
are input, the software automatically adjusts the sample
frequency accordingly. Units can be entered, such as 10k
for 10,000 Hz. Because the maximum sample frequency
possible is device dependent, with some of the ADCs
capable of operating up to 250 kSPS, while others can run
to 1.3 MSPS, the software matches the particular ADC ability.
If the user enters a value larger than the ability of the existing
device, the software indicates this and reverts to the maximum
sample frequency.

Figure 18. Data Capture/Histogram Tab
AC TESTING—DATA CAPTURE/HISTOGRAM TAB
DC TESTING—DATA CAPTURE/HISTOGRAM TAB
Figure 18 shows the Data Capture/Histogram tab. This tests
the ADC for the code distribution for ac input and computes
the mean and standard deviation, or transition noise of the
converter, and displays the results. Raw data is captured and
passed to the PC for statistical computations. To perform a
histogram test, select Histogram from the test selection window
and click Sample. An ac histogram needs a quality signal source
applied to the input of the SK1 and SK3 connectors. Figure 18
shows the histogram for a 10 kHz sine wave applied to the ADC
input, and the results calculated.
More commonly, the Data Capture/Histogram tab is used for
dc testing. This is where user can test the ADC for the code
distribution for dc input and compute the mean and standard
deviation, or transition noise of the converter, and display the
results. Raw data is captured and passed to the PC for statistical
computations. To perform a histogram test, select Histogram from
the test selection window and click Sample. A histogram test can
be performed without an external source because the evaluation
board has a buffered VREF/2 source at the ADC input. To test other
dc values, apply a source to the SK1 and SK3 inputs. It may be
required to filter the signal to make the dc source noise compatible
with that of the ADC.
Number 1 in Figure 18 shows the different measured values for
the data captured.

AC TESTING—DATA CAPTURE/FFT TAB
Figure 19 shows the Data Capture/FFT tab This tests the
traditional ac characteristics of the converter and displays a Fast
Fourier Transform (FFT) of the results. As in the histogram test,
raw data is captured and passed to the PC, where the FFT is
performed displaying the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal-tonoise-and-distortion ratio (SINAD), total harmonic distortion
(THD), and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR). To perform
an ac test, apply a sinusoidal signal to the evaluation board at
the SMB inputs, SK1/SK3. Low distortion, better than 100 dB,
is required to allow true evaluation of the part. One possibility
is to filter the input signal from the ac source. There is no suggested
band-pass filter; however, take consideration in this choice.
Furthermore, if using a low frequency band-pass filter when the
full-scale input range is more than a few volts peak-to-peak, it is
recommended to use the on-board amplifiers to amplify the
signal, thus preventing the filter from distorting the input signal.
