Analog Devices Inc. AD9613-210EBZ

Overview

AD9613-210EBZ from Analog Devices is a customer evaluation board for the AD9613 12-bit, 210 MSPS dual-channel analog-to-digital converter, featuring JESD204B serial interface, on-board clock conditioning, and FPGA-based data capture via HSC-ADC-EVALCZ. It supports high-fidelity RF sampling in communications infrastructure and instrumentation.

For engineers reviewing the AD9613-210EBZ datasheet, AD9613-210EBZ pinout, AD9613-210EBZ application, or AD9613-210EBZ equivalent, key selection considerations include JESD204B lane count, 2.5 V FPGA I/O voltage compatibility, analog input bandwidth (up to 750 MHz), clock input level range (10–14 dBm), and required external power supplies (6 V, 2 A).

Technical Context

The AD9613-210EBZ implements a complete signal chain test platform centered on the AD9613 ADC, with dedicated analog input paths for Channel A (J301) and Channel B (J303), differential clock input at J506, and configurable SPI control via AD9613spiR03.cfg. It interfaces exclusively with the HSC-ADC-EVALCZ capture board using a rigid mezzanine connector.

Board-level timing alignment is achieved through programmable DCO clock delay (600 ps step), and FPGA configuration is verified by the 'DONE' LED on HSC-ADC-EVALCZ. Power delivery uses two independent 6 V/2 A switching supplies-one per board-with jumper J9 set to 2.5 V to match FPGA I/O voltage.

FAQ

What is the AD9613-210EBZ used for?

The AD9613-210EBZ is an evaluation board for the AD9613 12-bit, 210 MSPS dual-channel ADC. It enables functional verification, dynamic performance testing (e.g., SNR, SFDR), and JESD204B link characterization. Engineers use the AD9613-210EBZ with the HSC-ADC-EVALCZ capture board and VisualAnalog software to evaluate real-world RF sampling behavior before system integration.

Does the AD9613-210EBZ include the AD9613 IC?

Yes, the AD9613-210EBZ integrates the AD9613BCPZ-210 (12-bit, 210 MSPS) ADC in a 64-lead LFCSP package. The board provides full access to all analog inputs, clock inputs, JESD204B serial outputs, and SPI control lines, enabling complete hardware-level evaluation of the AD9613 IC under realistic signal conditions.

What external equipment is required to operate the AD9613-210EBZ?

To operate the AD9613-210EBZ, you need the HSC-ADC-EVALCZ FPGA capture board, two 6 V/2 A switching power supplies, a low-jitter analog clock source (10–14 dBm into J506), a clean RF signal generator (8–12 dBm into J301/J303), a PC with USB 2.0, and software including VisualAnalog and SPIController. No onboard clock or signal generation is provided.

How is timing alignment handled between the AD9613-210EBZ and the HSC-ADC-EVALCZ board?

Timing alignment is achieved by configuring the AD9613's DCO output delay register to add 600 ps of additional delay, as set in the SPIController FLEXOUTPUT DELAY panel. This compensates for PCB trace skew and ensures synchronous capture of JESD204B data on the HSC-ADC-EVALCZ FPGA. The 'DONE' LED confirms successful FPGA programming.

Is the AD9613-210EBZ compatible with other Analog Devices capture boards?

No-the AD9613-210EBZ is mechanically and electrically designed exclusively for use with the HSC-ADC-EVALCZ board. Its mezzanine connector, power sequencing, and FPGA configuration files (e.g., AD9613spiR03.cfg) are specific to that platform. Using alternative capture hardware would require redesign of signal routing, power delivery, and firmware support.
