INTRODUCTION

This Technical Note describes the evaluation board for the
AD7470 10-bit, high speed, low power, successive approxi­mation A/D converter that operates from a single 2.7 V to

5.25 V supply. Full data on the AD7470 is available in the
AD7470 data sheet available from Analog Devices and
should be consulted in conjunction with this Technical Note
when using the Evaluation Board.

On-board components include an AD780 which is a pin
programmable +2.5 V or +3 V ultra high precision bandgap
reference, two AD797 op-amps used to buffer the analog
input, and an OP07 op-amp used to buffer the DC bias
voltage applied to the optional analog input bias-up circuit.
There are various link options which are explained in detail
on page 2.

Interfacing to this board is through a 96-way connector. This
96-way connector is compatible with the EVAL-CONTROL
BOARD which is also available from Analog Devices.
External sockets are provided for the CONVST input,
CLKIN input and the VIN inputs.

OPERATING THE AD7470 EVALUATION BOARD
Power Supplies

When using this evaluation board with the EVAL-CON­TROL BOARD all supplies are provided from the EVAL­CONTROL BOARD through the 96 way connector.

When using the board as a stand alone unit or with the HSC­INTERFACE BOARD, external supplies must be provided.
This evaluation board has five power supply inputs: V

input to supply the AVDD and DVDD pins on the AD7470,

DD

and D

. +5 V must be connected to the

GND

the AD780 voltage reference, the positive supply pin of all
three op-amps and the digital control logic. 0 V is connected
to the A

input. -5 V must be connected to the VSS input to

GND

supply the negative supply pins on all three op-amps. The
V

input can be used to provide an external voltage for the

DRIVE

output drivers on the AD7470. If an external V
supplied, it is referenced to the D

input which should be

GND

tied to 0 V. The supplies are decoupled to the relevant ground
plane with 47µF tantalum and 0.1µF multilayer ceramic
capacitors at the point where they enter the board. The supply
pins of the op-amps and reference are also decoupled to A
with a 10µF tantalum and a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. The
AD7470 AV

supply pin is decoupled to A

Analog Input Section

The analog input section of this evaluation board accommodates unipolar and bipolar signals. Unipolar signals within the
AD7470 analog input signal range of 0 V - 2.5 V are connected via SK5. They are then buffered by the on-board buffer before
being applied to the VIN pin of the AD7470. Bipolar signals are connected via SK3 and are biased up by the on-board bias­up buffer circuit before being applied to the VIN pin of the AD7470. The input impedence of the bias-up circuit is 50Ω which
is determined by the value of R7. The input impedence may be modified by removing/changing the value of R7. To obtain
optimum performance from this evaluation board the use of an impedence matched, passive filter is recommended before the
analog signal is applied to the evaluation board. For example, when using a 100KHz input tone, a 100KHz 50Ω filter from
TTE (part number KC5-100K-15K-50/50-720B) is suitable.

R8 Potentiometer (50Kohm)

This variable resistor is used to trim the DC bias voltage applied to the optional analog input bias-up circuit. This bias voltage
is factory preset to 1.25 V which biases a bipolar signal to swing around the midpoint of the analog input range (0 - 2.5 V).
If any adjustment is required, the user can use the histogram window in the eval-board software to analyze the DC voltage
variation while adjusting the trim pot. To view this properly, an analog input signal should not be applied to the board. Under
normal operation this pot should not be adjusted as it is preset for optimum performance.

LINK AND SWITCH OPTIONS

There are 11 link options which must be set for the required operating setup before using the evaluation board. The functions
of these options are outlined below.

Link No. Function.

LK1 This link is used to select the DC bias voltage to be applied to the optional Vin bias-up circuit.

If the user is using the bias-up circuit, this link must be inserted which will apply the 2.7 V reference voltage
to the bias-up circuit. This causes a bipolar signal (applied to the bipolar vin input socket) to be biased up
around +1.25 V before it is applied to the AD7470 VIN pin. - see also LK10 (below)
If the bias up circuit is not being used this link should be removed.

LK2 This link must be in position "A" if external power supplies are being used. In this position the control logic

is being powered by the voltage applied to the VDD input.
When power is being supplied from the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD, this link can be moved to position "B"
if the user wants to drive the control logic from a separate +5 V which is generated on the EVAL-CONTROL
BOARD.

LK3 This link option selects the source of the CLKIN input.

When this link is in position "A" the CLKIN input is provided by the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD.
When this link is in position "B" the CLKIN input is provided via the on-board 25MHz oscillator.
When this link is in position "C", an external CLKIN signal must be provided via SK1.
When using the on-board generated burst clock, this link must be in position "D".

LK4 This link option selects the source of the CONVST input.

When this link is in position "A" the CONVST input is provided by the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD.
When this link is in position "B" the CONVST input is provided via the external socket, SK2.

LK5 This link option selects the source of the RD input.

When this link is in position "A" the RD input is provided by the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD.
When this link is in position "B" the RD input is tied to GND. This option must be selected while using the
High Speed Converter Interface Board.

LK6 This link option selects the source of the CS input.

When this link is in position "A" the CS input is provided by the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD.
When this link is in position "B" the CS input is tied to GND. This option must be selected while using the
High Speed Converter Interface Board.

LK7 This link option sets the voltage applied to the VDRIVE pin on the AD7470.

When this link is in position "A", VDRIVE is connected directly to the DVDD pin.
When this link is in position "B", an external voltage must be applied to the VDRIVE pin Via J3.

LK8 This link selects the source of the V

When this link is in position "A" V
When this link is in position "B" V

LK9 This link selects the source of the V

When this link is in position "A" V
When this link is in position "B" V

LK10 This link must be in position "A" if a bipolar AIN signal is being applied to the bipolar Vin socket, SK3.

This link must be in position "B" if a unipolar AIN signal is being applied to the unipolar Vin socket, SK5.

SET-UP CONDITIONS

Care should be taken before applying power and signals to the evaluation board to ensure that all link positions are as per the
required operating mode. Table I shows the position in which all the links are set when the evaluation board is sent out. All
links are set for use with the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD.

supply to the op-amps, the reference, the AD7470
and the digital logic.

When interfacing directly to the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD,
all power supplies and control signals are generated by the
EVAL-CONTROL BOARD. However, due to the nature of
the DSP interface on the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD,
AD7470 sampling rates greater than 400 KHz are not
supported when interfacing the EVAL-AD7470CB directly
to the EVAL-CONTROL BOARD. To achieve sample rates
greater than 400 KHz, the HSC-INTERFACE BOARD
must be used. The HSC-INTERFACE BOARD is a board
designed to interface between evaluation boards for high
speed analog-to-digital converters and the EVAL-CON­TROL BOARD. It can be ordered from Analog Devices
through the normal channels using the part number "HSC­INTERFACE BOARD".

When interfacing to the High Speed Converter Interface
board, all required power supplies must be supplied from
external sources via the power terminal, J2.

The CLKIN signal can be generated on-board (using the
crystal oscillator or the burst clock generator circuit) or
provided externally via SK1.

The RD and CS inputs to the AD7470 must all be tied low
using LK5 and LK6 respectively.

The CONVST signal must be provided externally via SK1.
Due to the 25 MHz on-board crystal (not the maximum of

26 MHz as specified in the datasheet) the throughput rate will
not meet the maximum datasheet specification of 1.5 MSPS.
