Product details
Overview
EVAL-AD4000FMCZ from Analog Devices is a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) mezzanine card (FMC)-compatible evaluation board designed to accelerate characterization and system integration of the AD4000 16-bit precision successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter. It integrates on-board ADR4550 5.0 V reference, ADA4807-1 reference/common-mode buffers, dual ADA4805-1 signal conditioning amplifiers, and power regulation for ±7 V, −2.5 V, 3.3 V, and 1.8 V rails - enabling full dynamic performance validation in lab and prototype environments.
For engineers reviewing the EVAL-AD4000FMCZ datasheet, EVAL-AD4000FMCZ pinout, EVAL-AD4000FMCZ application, or EVAL-AD4000FMCZ equivalent, this page delivers verified hardware interface details, SDP-H1/FMC-LPC connectivity requirements, software-supported FFT/time-domain analysis capabilities, and configuration options for single-ended input evaluation of the AD4000 family.
Technical Context
The EVAL-AD4000FMCZ interfaces exclusively via a 160-pin FMC low pin count (LPC) connector to the SDP-H1 controller board, which hosts a Xilinx Spartan-6 FPGA and ADSP-BF527 Blackfin processor. Communication occurs over SPI with USB 2.0 host link, supporting real-time ADC configuration, sample capture, and time/frequency domain analysis.
Hardware flexibility includes solder link (SL4) selection for single-ended input mode, jumper-configurable power sourcing (bench vs. SDP-H1), optional fully differential amplifier (ADA4940-1) support, and replaceable reference ICs (ADR4525/ADR4533/ADR4540/ADR3450). The board is factory populated with the AD4000 and calibrated for midscale biasing using 590 Ω resistor dividers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| FMC Interface | LPC (Low Pin Count) 160-pin connector - enables direct plug-in to SDP-H1 or other FMC-LPC host controllers without adapter. |
| ADC Population | Factory-installed AD4000 - supports up to 2 MSPS sampling, 16-bit resolution, and 94.5 dB SNR at 100 kHz input. |
| Reference System | ADR4550 5.0 V ultra-low-noise bandgap reference with ADA4807-1 buffer - ensures stable, low-drift reference voltage for high-precision DC and AC testing. |
| Signal Conditioning | Dual ADA4805-1 op amps configured as unity-gain buffers - provides high-input-impedance, low-noise analog front-end for single-ended inputs (J6/J10 SMA). |
| Power Architecture | On-board ADP7118 (7 V/+1.8 V/+3.3 V), ADP2370/ADM660/ADP7182 (−2.5 V), and decoupled single ground plane - eliminates need for external bench supplies in standard operation. |
| Software Support | AD40XX Evaluation Software (Windows 7/10) - enables real-time waveform capture, histogram analysis, FFT computation, and session saving with configurable sample depth and trigger modes. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the EVAL-AD4000FMCZ?
The EVAL-AD4000FMCZ is a dedicated evaluation platform for the AD4000 16-bit SAR ADC, enabling engineers to validate dynamic performance (SNR, THD, SFDR), characterize DC accuracy (INL/DNL), and integrate the device into system-level designs using standardized FMC-LPC interfacing and PC-based AD40XX software. It is not a production-ready module but a lab-grade development tool.
Which controller boards are compatible with the EVAL-AD4000FMCZ?
The EVAL-AD4000FMCZ is explicitly designed for use with the SDP-H1 system demonstration platform (EVAL-SDP-CH1Z), connecting via its 160-pin FMC-LPC interface. While FMC-LPC compliance suggests theoretical compatibility with other FPGA carriers, Analog Devices only validates and supports operation with the SDP-H1 - including driver stack, firmware, and software synchronization.
Does the EVAL-AD4000FMCZ support differential input configurations?
No - the EVAL-AD4000FMCZ is factory configured for single-ended or pseudo-differential input operation (SL4 = B), matching the AD4000's native input architecture. Differential input evaluation requires the EVAL-AD4001FMCZ, EVAL-AD4003FMCZ, or EVAL-AD4020FMCZ variants, which ship with SL4 = A and support fully differential ADC drivers like the ADA4940-1.
Can the EVAL-AD4000FMCZ be used to evaluate other AD40xx-series ADCs?
Yes - the EVAL-AD4000FMCZ can evaluate AD4004, AD4005, AD4006, AD4007, AD4008, AD4010, AD4011, AD4021, and AD4022 by limiting the sample rate in AD40XX software to match each device's maximum throughput (e.g., 1 MSPS for AD4004). However, it cannot natively support AD4001/AD4003/AD4020 due to input topology mismatch.
What power supply options does the EVAL-AD4000FMCZ support?
The EVAL-AD4000FMCZ receives all required voltages (±7 V, −2.5 V, 3.3 V, 1.8 V) from the SDP-H1 board via the FMC connector. Alternatively, it accepts external bench power through screw terminals J2/J3 - but requires reconfiguration of solder links SL1, SL2, SL5, SL6, SL7, SL8, and SL9 to Position B to disable on-board regulators and avoid supply conflicts.
