Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-ADMX6001 Evaluation Board
Analog Devices EVAL-ADMX6001 Evaluation Board (ADMX6001-EBZ) is a reference design of a DC-coupled single-channel 10GSPS digitizer featuring the AD9213 low-noise, 12-bit high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and the AD4080 20-bit precision ADC. The dual-path design achieves true low noise digitization in the broadband from DC to 5GHz. By biasing the ADC driver (ADL5580) with the LTC2664 precision digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the ADI ADMX6001-EBZ is capable of handling unipolar and bipolar signals at various DC levels, maximizing the utility of the AD9213's input dynamic range. This design is ideal for high-performance time-domain instruments such as time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF MS), distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS), and digital oscilloscopes.
Features
- Dual-path, low noise design for broad coverage from DC to 5GHz
- SDI65-12-UC-P6 (12V/65W) AC-DC power supply included
- ADC driver input, biased with DAC output voltage, adjusts the DC offset of the unipolar signal
- Single-ended unipolar signal with DC offset to differential signal conversion by the ADL5580
- ADL5580 biased by the DAC LTC2664 output for maximizing AD9213 input dynamic range
- FMC+ HSPC connector for interface with Xilinx VCU118 FPGA board
