Supported Evaluation Boards

Overview

The EVAL-AD4110-1SDZ evaluation board is designed for evaluating the AD4110-1, a complete, single-channel, universal input analog-to-digital front end for industrial process control systems. The AD4110-1 is fully software configurable for current or voltage signals and allows direct interface to all standard industrial analog signal sources such as ±20 mA, ±4 mA to ±20 mA, ±10 V, and all thermocouple types. It also includes excitation current sources for RTD sensors.

The integrated analog front end features a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) with 16 gain settings from 0.2 to 24, and a precision 24-bit sigma-delta ADC offering conversion rates from 5 SPS to 125 kSPS with simultaneous 50 Hz and 60 Hz noise rejection. The board requires an external power supply voltage between ±12 V and ±20 V and operates via a 4-wire SPI interface.

Applications

  • Process control and industrial automation

  • Remote and distributed control systems

  • Instrumentation and measurement

  • Sensor and data acquisition

Hardware Specifications

Power Supply Requirements

The EVAL-AD4110-1SDZ evaluation board requires an external power supply of ±15 V (recommended), connected via connector J14. Acceptable supply range is ±12 V to ±20 V. Connect +15 V to VDD, -15 V to VSS, and 0 V to GND. The 5 V supply required by the AD4110-1 is generated on-board by the ADP7102 LDO from the VDD supply.

No-OS Build Setup

Please see: No-OS Build Guide

No-OS Supported Examples

The initialization data used in the examples is taken out from the Project Common Data Path.

Basic Example

This is the default example which initializes the AD4110-1 device via SPI, configures the IRQ controller, sets up the voltage reference and data format, and performs continuous data reading. The acquired samples are printed to the console via UART.

No-OS Supported Platforms

Xilinx

Used Hardware

Connections

Connect the EVAL-AD4110-1SDZ to the ZedBoard via the SPI PMOD connector (J2). The J2 pinout is: 1 = CS, 2 = DIN, 3 = DOUT, 4 = SCLK, 5 = GND, 6 = 5 V external power. Connect a ±15 V power supply to J14 (VDD, VSS, GND).

The UART console appears on the ZedBoard USB-UART port at 115200 baud, 8N1.

Build Command

The Xilinx platform uses the CMake/Ninja build system via the no_os_build.py helper script. Available variants: uart. Available boards: zed.

For toolchain setup and prerequisites, see the Xilinx CMake build guide.

# Source the Vitis environment (sets XILINX_VITIS and adds tools to PATH)
source /path/to/Vitis/settings64.sh
# PowerShell (Windows) equivalent:
#   $env:XILINX_VITIS = "<C:\path\to\Vitis>"

cd no-OS

# build the example on the ZedBoard
python tools/scripts/no_os_build.py build \
   --project ad4110 --variant uart --board zed \
   --hardware /path/to/system_top.xsa

# build and flash (requires a connected debug probe)
python tools/scripts/no_os_build.py build \
   --project ad4110 --variant uart --board zed \
   --hardware /path/to/system_top.xsa \
   --probe openocd --flash
