Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-AD4630-16 SAR ADC Evaluation Board

Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-AD4630-16 SAR ADC Evaluation Board is a demonstration and development platform for the AD4630-16 Dual Channel SAR ADC. The AD4630-16 is a low-power, 2-channel, 16-bit precision successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that supports up to 2 MSPS per channel. With a guaranteed maximum ±3ppm integral nonlinearity (INL) and no missing codes at 16-bits, the AD4630-16 achieves excellent precision from -40°C to +125°C.

The EVAL-AD4630-16 Evaluation Board is designed for use with the Digilent ZedBoard™. The ZedBoard is used for control data capture and buffering. The Evaluation Board connects to the ZedBoard board via a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) mezzanine card (FMC) low pin count (LPC) connector. The ZedBoard hosts a Xilinx Zynq7000 SoC with two processor cores and programmable FPGA fabric. The ZedBoard connects to a PC via the USB port.

The Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-AD4630-16 Evaluation Board is offered as a stand-alone board (EVAL-AD4630-16FMCZ) and bundled with the Digilent ZedBoard (EVAL-AD4630-16-KTZ).

Features
