Hardware configuration

The EVAL-AD9083 evaluation board can be configured for different operating modes using onboard resistors. Refer to the schematic for component placement details.

Power supply

The EVAL-AD9083 is powered through the FMC connector. The FPGA carrier must supply VADJ = 1.8 V to the FMC connector.

Analog inputs

The EVAL-AD9083 provides differential SMA connectors for the 16 analog input channels. Connect a low-noise signal source compatible with the configured input bandwidth (up to 125 MHz per channel).

A reference clock input is also provided via SMA connector. The clock frequency must be compatible with the configured ADC sample rate.

Schematic, PCB Layout, Bill of Materials

Design files for the EVAL-AD9083 evaluation board are available on the EVAL-AD9083 product page.

Software guide

The EVAL-AD9083 is supported through the Linux IIO framework and the no-OS driver. The following software tools can be used with the evaluation board:

IIO Oscilloscope

IIO Oscilloscope is a graphical tool for capturing and visualizing ADC data in time domain, frequency domain, and constellation views. After booting Linux on the ZCU102, connect IIO Oscilloscope to the board over Ethernet using the board’s IP address.

pyadi-iio

Python scripts can acquire data from the AD9083 using the pyadi-iio library, which provides a high-level interface to the IIO device.

libiio

The EVAL-AD9083 is accessible through the Libiio library, which provides language bindings for C, C#, Python, MATLAB, and others.
