GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EVAL-AD7960FMCZ is an evaluation board designed

to demonstrate the low power AD7960 performance (18-bit,

5 MSPS PulSAR® differential ADC) and to provide an easy-to-

understand interface for a variety of system applications. A

full description of the AD7960 is available in the data sheet

and should be consulted when utilizing this evaluation board.

The user PC software executable controls the evaluation board

over the USB through the Analog Devices, Inc., system

demonstration platform board (SDP), EVAL-SDP-CH1Z.

On-board components include the following:

ADR4520/ADR4540/ADR4550: high precision, buffered band

gap 2.048 V/4.096 V/5.0 V reference options

AD8031: reference buffer

ADA4899-1/ADA4897-1: a signal conditioning circuit with

two op amps and an option to use a differential amplifier

(ADA4932-1)

ADP7102, ADP7104, ADP124, and ADP2300: regulators to

derive necessary voltage levels on board

This evaluation board interfaces to the SDP board via a 160-pin

FMC connector. SMA connectors, JP1/JP4 and JP2/JP5, are

provided for the low noise analog signal source.
