The EVAL-AD4080-FMC, EVAL-AD4083-FMC, and EVAL-AD4086-FMC are designed to demonstrate the performance of the AD4080, AD4081, AD4083, AD4084, AD4086, and AD4087 analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and provide access to a limited set of device configuration features through the ACE Software environment. The EVAL-AD4080-FMC, EVAL-AD4083-FMC, and EVAL-AD4086-FMC evaluation kits support the following AD4080, AD4083, and AD4086 features:

  • Low voltage digital signaling (LVDS) data output interface.

  • ADC configuration via serial peripheral interface (SPI).

  • Internal or external generation of 1.1V regulated supply rails.

  • Sampling rate capability between 1.25MSPS and up to 40MSPS, depending on the specific ADC.

The AD4080, AD4083, and AD4086 that are physically mounted on the boards can be evaluated with any sampling frequency range from 1.25 MHz to 40 MHz. However, performance of the AD4081, AD4084, and AD4087 can also be estimated using this board by setting the sampling frequency to 20MHz. Note that, the captured results for AD4080, AD4083, and AD4086 running at the reduced sample rate should only be taken as indications of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) rather than the actual measurement; nevertheless, measured SNR for the AD4081, AD4084, and AD4087 will not be worse.

Recommendations

People who follow the flow that is outlined have a much better experience with things. However, like many things, documentation is never as complete as it should be. If you have any questions, check the Help and Support section at the bottom of the page.

To better understand the AD4080, AD4081, AD4083, AD4084, AD4086, and AD4087, we recommend using the EVAL-AD4080-FMC, EVAL-AD4083-FMC, and EVAL-AD4086-FMC evaluation boards.
