AD463x Reference Platform

Introduction

This document describes the DataStorm DAQ Platform when connected to a EVAL-AD4630-24-FMCZ board containing the AD4630-24 device, and includes an example of how to initialize it.

The AD4630-24 is a two-channel, simultaneous sampling, Easy Drive, 2 MSPS successive approximation register (SAR) analog-todigital converter (ADC). The AD4630-24 low power, 24-bit, 2-channel, 24-bit precision SAR ADC that supports up to 2 MSPS per channel. The evaluation board demonstrates the performance of the AD4630-24 and provides a configurable analog front end (AFE) for a variety of system applications.

The AD4630-24 include features that simplify the design requirements of peripheral circuitry and facilitate high performance data acquisition system designs with low power consumption and high channel density. These features include the following:

• 24-bit SAR ADC core with no missing codes.
• On-board voltage reference, clock source, and ADC drivers.
• Versatile analog signal conditioning circuitry.
• Compatible with other off-the-shelf controller boards.

Applications

• Automatic test equipment
• Medical instrumentation
