EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
This user guide describes the evaluation board for the
AD7091R
analog-to-digital converter.
The
AD7091R
is a 12-bit, ultralow power, successive approxima-
tion ADC. The
AD7091R
operates from a single 2.7 V to 5.25 V
power supply and is capable of achieving a throughput rate of
1 MSPS. The
AD7091R
also features an on-chip conversion
clock, an accurate reference, and a high speed serial interface.
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled
using a CONVST signal and an internal oscillator. The
AD7091R
has a serial interface allowing data to be read after the conver-
sion, while achieving 1 MSPS throughput rate. The AD7091R
uses advanced design and process techniques to achieve
ultralow power dissipation at high throughput rates. An on-
chip, accurate 2.5 V reference is available.
Complete specifications for the
AD7091R
are provided in the
AD7091R
data sheet, available from Analog Devices, which
should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when
using the evaluation board.

HARDWARE LINK OPTIONS
The functions of the link options are described in Table 2.
The default setup is configured to operate the board with
the mains power supply adapter and to interface to the
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z
board.
POWER SUPPLIES
Care should be taken before applying power and signals to
the evaluation board to ensure that all link positions are set
according to the required operating mode. See Table 2 for the
complete list of link options.
This evaluation board is supplied with a wall-mountable
switching power supply that provides a 9 V dc output. Connect
the supply to a 100 V to 240 V ac wall outlet at 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
The output from the supply is provided through a 2.0 mm inner
diameter jack that connects to the evaluation board at J1. The 9
V supply is connected to the on-board 5 V linear regulator that
supplies the correct bias to each of the various sections on the
board and the
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z
board.
When using this evaluation board with the
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z
board, it is necessary to power the board through the J1
connector.
If the evaluation board is used without the 9 V adapter, an
external power supply in the range of 2.7 V to 5.25 V must be
connected to the VDD input to supply the
AD7091R
V
DD
pin. In
addition, an external supply in the range of 1.65 V to 5.25 V
must be connected to the VDRIVE input to supply the
AD7091R
V
DRIVE
pin.
Each supply is decoupled on this board using 10 µF tantalum
and 100 nF multilayer ceramic capacitors.
There are two main ground planes, AGND and DGND. These
are connected at one location close to the
AD7091R
.
Caution
When the
EVAL-AD7091RSDZ
evaluation board is connected to
the
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z
, care must be taken to ensure that, if an
external voltage is supplied to the VDRIVE input connector, J3,
the voltage does not exceed 3.3 V. Otherwise, permanent
damage may occur to the
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z
board.
