Product details
Overview
EVAL-AD7381FMCZ from Analog Devices is a fully featured evaluation board designed to characterize the AD7381 14-bit, dual-channel, simultaneous sampling successive approximation ADC - supporting 4 MSPS throughput, differential analog inputs, and on-board 3.3 V reference, power supplies, and ADC driver circuitry for lab-based high-speed data acquisition validation.
For engineers reviewing the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ datasheet, EVAL-AD7381FMCZ pinout, EVAL-AD7381FMCZ application, or EVAL-AD7381FMCZ equivalent, this page delivers verified hardware interface details, SDP-H1 controller integration, ACE software operation guidance, and precise ADC evaluation setup requirements - all specific to the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ board's role in validating AD7381 performance under real-world signal chain conditions.
Technical Context
The EVAL-AD7381FMCZ interfaces exclusively with the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z system demonstration platform (SDP) controller via its 160-way FMC-LPC connector (J4), enabling USB-hosted SPI communication and real-time register control of the AD7381. It supports both internal and external reference configurations (2.5 V or 3.3 V), programmable oversampling (2×–32×), and 18-bit resolution mode via ACE software.
Hardware includes dedicated analog input connectors (J1–J4), configurable link options (LK1–LK5, JP1–JP6) for power and signal routing, on-board ADP7104/ADP7182/ADP166A regulators, ADR4525/ADR4533 references, and ADA4896-2 buffer amplifiers - all optimized for low-noise, high-fidelity evaluation of the AD7381's dynamic performance (SNR, THD, SFDR) across temperature and bandwidth.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ?
The EVAL-AD7381FMCZ is a dedicated evaluation board for the AD7381 14-bit, dual-channel, simultaneous sampling SAR ADC. It provides complete hardware infrastructure - including on-board reference, power regulation, analog buffering, and SDP-H1 interface - to validate the AD7381's full specification suite (e.g., 4 MSPS throughput, oversampling, SNR, THD) under controlled lab conditions. The EVAL-AD7381FMCZ does not operate standalone and requires the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z controller and ACE software for full functionality.
Which controller board is required to operate the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ?
The EVAL-AD7381FMCZ must be used with the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z system demonstration platform controller board. Communication occurs via the 160-way FMC-LPC connector (J4), and the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z provides USB-hosted SPI control, power delivery, and FPGA-based data capture coordination. No other controller board is supported or validated for use with the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ per Analog Devices UG-1304 documentation.
Does the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ support external voltage references?
Yes, the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ supports external voltage references up to 3.3 V via the EXT_REF header. The default configuration uses the on-board ADR4533 (3.3 V) or ADR4525 (2.5 V) reference, but JP4 link position "3" routes REFIO to the external reference input. This allows users to evaluate the AD7381's performance with custom references while maintaining full ACE software compatibility and register-level control.
Can the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ be used to evaluate other ADCs besides the AD7381?
The EVAL-AD7381FMCZ is specifically designed and validated for the AD7381, but Analog Devices confirms it can also evaluate the AD7380 (16-bit version) and - with clock/sampling rate adjustments - the AD4680 and AD4681. However, no hardware or firmware modifications are required to switch between AD7380 and AD7381; both share identical pinout, power, and interface requirements on the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ board.
What software is needed to operate the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ?
The EVAL-AD7381FMCZ requires Analog Devices' ACE (Analysis, Control, Evaluation) software with the AD738x plug-in. ACE provides full register access, oversampling configuration, real-time waveform capture, histogram analysis, and FFT computation - all synchronized with the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z controller. Software installation must precede hardware connection to ensure proper driver recognition, and ACE is compatible with Windows Vista SP2 through Windows 10 (32-/64-bit).
