AD7606X-FMCZ HDL project

Overview

The AD7606 is a 8-/6-/4-Channel DAS with 16-Bit, Bipolar Input, Simultaneous Sampling ADC. Each part contains analog input clamp protection, a second-order antialiasing filter, a track-and-hold amplifier, a 16-bit charge redistribution successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a flexible digital filter, a 2.5 V reference and reference buffer, and high speed serial and parallel interfaces. The AD7606 operate from a single 5 V supply and can accommodate ±10 V and ±5 V true bipolar input signals while sampling at throughput rates up to 200 kSPS for all channels. The input clamp protection circuitry can tolerate voltages up to ±16.5 V. The AD7606 has 1 MΩ analog input impedance regardless of sampling frequency. The single supply operation, on-chip filtering, and high input impedance eliminate the need for driver op amps and external bipolar supplies.

The AD7606C is a directly pin replacement (software and hardware) for both AD7608 and AD7609, with higher input impedance, throughput rate and extended temperature range with additional features such as 16/18-bit sample size, system gain/offset/phase calibration, sensor disconnect detection, lower Vdrive operation, diagnostics, additional oversampling ratios and per channel analog input range selection with bipolar differential, bipolar single-ended and unipolar single-ended options.

The EVAL-AD7606B-FMCZ and EVAL-AD7606C-18 evaluation boards are designed to help users to easily evaluate the features of AD7606B, AD7606C-16 and AD7606C-18 analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).

Block design

The data path of the HDL design is simple as follows:

• the parallel interface is controlled by the axi_ad7606x IP core

• the serial interface is controlled by the SPI_Engine Framework

• data is written into memory by a DMA (axi_dmac core)

• all the control pins of the device are driven by GPIOs

Block diagram

The data path and clock domains are depicted in the below diagrams:

Configuration modes

The INTF configuration parameter defines the interface type (Serial or Parallel). By default it is set to 0. Depending on the required interface mode, some hardware modifications need to be done on the board and/or make command:

In case of the PARALLEL interface:

make INTF=0

In case of the SERIAL interface:

make INTF=1

Note

This switch is a hardware switch. Please rebuild the design if the variable has been changed.

• JP5 - Position A - Serial interface

• JP5 - Position B - Parallel interface

The NUM_OF_SDI configuration parameter defines the number of SDI lines used: - Options: 1, 2, 4, 8. By default is set to 8.

The ADC_N_BITS configuration parameter specifies the ADC resolution: - Options: 16, 18. By default it is set to 16.

Building the HDL project

The design is built upon ADI’s generic HDL reference design framework. ADI distributes the bit/elf files of these projects as part of the ADI Kuiper Linux. If you want to build the sources, ADI makes them available on the HDL repository. To get the source you must clone the HDL repository, and then build the project as follows:.

Linux/Cygwin/WSL

user@analog:~$ cd hdl/projects/ad7606x_fmc/zed
user@analog:~/hdl/projects/ad7606x_fmc/zed$ make DEV_CONFIG=2 INTF=0

The result of the build, if parameters were used, will be in a folder named by the configuration used:

if the following command was run

make INTF=0 ADC_N_BITS=16

then the folder name will be:

INTF0_ADC_N_BITS16

A more comprehensive build guide can be found in the Build an HDL project user guide.
