For component evaluation and performance purposes, as opposed to quick prototyping, the user is
directed to use the part evaluation setup. This consists of:
1. A controller board like the SDP-B ( EVAL-SDP-CS1Z)
●
2. The component SDP compatible product evaluation board
●
3. Corresponding PC software ( shipped with the product evaluation board)
●
The SDP-B controller board is part of Analog Devices System Demonstration Platform (SDP). It
provides a high speed USB 2.0 connection from the PC to the component evaluation board. The PC
runs the evaluation software. Each evaluation board, which is an SDP compatible daughter board,
includes the necessary installation file required for performance testing.
Note: it is expected that the analog performance on the two platforms may differ.

Below is presented a picture of SDP-B Controller Board with the EVAL-AD7982SDZ Evaluation Board.
The AD7982 is an 18-bit, successive approximation, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that operates
from a single power supply, VDD. It contains a low power, high speed, 18-bit sampling ADC and a
versatile serial interface port. On the CNV rising edge, the AD7982 samples the voltage difference
between the IN+ and IN− pins. The voltages on these pins usually swing in opposite phases between
0 V and VREF. The reference voltage, REF, is applied externally and can be set independent of the
supply voltage, VDD. Its power scales linearly with throughput. The SPI-compatible serial interface
also features the ability, using the SDI input, to daisy-chain several ADCs on a single 3-wire bus and
provides an optional busy indicator. It is compatible with 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3 V, and 5 V logic, using the
separate VIO supply.
The EVAL-AD7982SDZ evaluation board is a member of a growing number of boards available for the
SDP. It was designed to help customers evaluate performance or quickly prototype new AD7982
circuits and reduce design time. When using this evaluation board with the SDP board or Xilinx KC705
board, apply +7.5V as +Vs, a voltage between -2V and -5V as -Vs and +2.5V as VDD.
