EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE GUIDE
ANALOG INPUT CIRCUIT The EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ includes a three stage, precision
signal conditioning circuit. The design was partitioned in this fashion to
allow the greatest flexibility in optimizing signal chain performance for the
targeted signal bandwidth for both evaluation and prototyping. With the
default configuration of the evaluation hardware, a differential 6 V p-p input
signal with the common mode set to 1.5 V results in a full-scale measurement
from the ADC. The typical supported input frequency range is DC to 4 MHz.
Recommendations regarding signal chain configuration for particular signal
bandwidths of interest can be found in the Analog Front End (AFE)
Considerations section. INPUT STAGE (STAGE 1) The input stage consists of a
pair of LT6236 op amps (U1 and U2). The LT6236 op amps were selected for its
exceptional wideband (90 MHz), low noise, favorable distortion performance and
low power consumption. The stage is configured for differential input,
differential output, noninverting, unity-gain operation, ensuring that a
preceding signal source or sensor is presented with a high impedance. With
supply rail values of +5 V and -2.5 V, the valid range for the LT6236 inputs
(INP and INM) is approximately -0.8 V to +4 V, which means that a common-mode
voltage of 1.5 V (available at VOCM) for the inputs is close to ideal to allow
maximum voltage excursion and minimize distortion.

FULLY DIFFERENTIAL AMPLIFIER STAGE (STAGE 2) Stage 2 is based around an
ADA4945-1 (U3) fully differential amplifier configured for unity gain.
Figure 4. Stage 2 Simplified Schematic
The clamp pins of the ADA4945-1 (-VCLAMP and +VCLAMP) are connected to the
VREF and GND nodes, which results in a limitation of the range at the output
of the fully differential amplifier (FDA) of ~500 mV beyond those nodes to
protect the ADC from hard overdrive. The common-mode input of the ADA4945-1 is
floating by default, meaning that the output common-mode value is internally
biased at a voltage equal to the midpoint between the output voltage clamps,
that is, 1.5 V. With the default configuration, this stage presents a 3 dB
cutoff frequency of 5.5 MHz at the output (measured at FDA_ON and FDA_OP
nodes). The following can be configured in this stage: Stage bypass

Stage 3 is an optional stage consisting of two ADA4899-1 (A1 and A6) high-
speed, low distortion op amps. This stage allows users to achieve the lowest
distortion possible; however, at the expense of higher power consumption.
Stage 3 is enabled by default, but this stage can be disabled to save power.

VOLTAGE REFERENCE
The AD4080 requires an external 3 V voltage reference. To achieve the specified performance, a suitable precision, low noise voltage reference must be used. The AD4080 does include an internal reference buffer and capacitor, which makes reference selection easier and eliminates the need for an external buffer.
The following can be configured in this circuit:
Reference selection
The LTC6655-3 is the default. The evaluation hardware includes LTC6655-3 (U25)
as the primary recommended option, providing exceptional noise performance
(0.1 Hz to 10 Hz noise specification of 0.25 ppm p-p), combined with an
initial accuracy of 0.025%, and a low temperature drift of 2 ppm/°C.
The LT6657-3 (U36) is also mounted and provided as a second option. See Table

COMMON-MODE CIRCUIT
The AD4080 includes a common-mode voltage generation feature. The common-mode
voltage is equal to reference voltage (VREF)/2, and this voltage is provided
through the CMO pin of the AD4080. This feature is generally useful for
biasing front-end stages. In this instance, it is optional to use this feature
because the ADA4945-1 can use an internal biasing circuit to set the output
common mode to the midpoint of the output clamping pins (-VCLAMP and +VCLAMP).
The following can be configured in this circuit:
FDA common-mode setting
Internal (default): The ADA4945-1 sets the output commonmode level to the
output clamps midpoint.
External: Use the CMO voltage provided by the ADC to set the FDA output
common-mode level.
Common-mode signal buffering
No buffering (default).
Buffering through the ADA4807-2 (A5) amplifier, which is only necessary if
additional load is placed on the AD4080 CMO output. Note that this output has
an output impedance of 700 ; consult the AD4080 data sheet for additional
details.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE GUIDE POWER SUPPLIES The EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ is
designed to operate from a 12 V supply provided from the host controller board
via the FMC connector. The 12 V power supply is regulated down using a
combination of switching regulators and linear dropout (LDOs) regulators to
generate the necessary power rails for the on-board circuitry.
Figure 6. Power Circuitry Simplified Schematic
AD4080 POWER SUPPLY The AD4080 requires three major power supplies: VDD33: 3.3
V analog supply rail. VDD11: 1.1 V ADC core supply. IOVDD: 1.1 V digital
interface supply. The AD4080 includes integrated power supply
decoupling;therefore, no external power supply decoupling was included on-
board for the AD4080 power supply rails. The following can be configured in
this circuit: 1.1 V rails (VDD11 and IOVDD) source
On-board generated rails (default): The rails are taken in from the LT3045
regulators (U34 and U35), as shown in Figure 6.
Internal AD4080 LDO regulator: An LDO internal to the AD4080 can be enabled
and used to power both 1.1 V rails. Refer to the AD4080 data sheet for more
details pertaining to the power supply rails and requirements.

EVAL-AD4080
AMPLIFIER POWER SUPPLY
The signal conditioning circuitry of the EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ was designed to
operate from +5 V and -5V rails. The positive and negative rails of the U1 and
U2 amplifiers are supplied from the +5 V VDDAFE rail and the -5 V VSSAFE rail.
The positive and negative rails of the fully differential U3 amplifier and the
optional third stage A1 and A2 amplifiers are supplied from the +5 V VDDDRV
rail and -5 V VSSDRV rail. The common-mode buffer A5 amplifier is configured
for a unipolar power supply; the positive supply rail of A5 is provided from
the +5 V VDDDRV rail, and the negative supply rail is connected to ground.
CONVERSION AND DATA CLOCK GENERATION CIRCUIT
The EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ contains the necessary circuits to generate low jitter
data (CLK+ and CLK-) and conversion (CNV+ and CNV-) clocks across the full
operating range of the AD4080. This low jitter circuitry allows processing
with fidelity full-scale input signals up to 4 MHz.
The circuit consists of a 25 MHz complementary metaloxide semiconductor
(CMOS) reference oscillator (Y1), the ADF4350 wideband synthesizer, and the
AD9508 clock fanout buffer as shown in Figure 7. The synthesizer takes in the
25 MHz signal from the oscillator and produces a higher frequency output with
the frequency multiplication factor being programmable by the software. The
synthesizer output is then fed to the clock buffer, which generates the clock
(CLK+ and CLK-) and convert (CNV+ and CNV-) signals, from which, it can apply
separate programmable frequency division factors. Therefore, the software sets
the CLK and CNV signal frequencies by programming the ADF4350 and AD9508
through their serial interfaces. In practice, to change the sample rate, the
user changes the Sampling Frequency (MHz) field in the Board Level view of the
ACE Software as is detailed in Figure 10. The 25 MHz oscillator and
synthesizer can be bypassed, and an external data clock reference supplied
instead (through the CLKIN SMA connector) to the AD9508 to allow
synchronization with an existing system clock solution. See the Using an
External Clock Source section for details regarding bypassing the oscillator
and synthesizer circuits.

clock (FPGACLK+ and FPGACLK-). However, this function is not supported yet.
By default, the EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ conversion control is configured to operate
in LVDS mode; therefore, the AD9508 drives the CNV+ and CNV- pins
differentially. The hardware includes provisions to allow using a single-ended
CMOS signal instead, see the Configuring for CMOS CNV Mode section for further
details.
DIGITAL INTERFACE
The EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ utilizes the FMC connector (P3) from the ZedBoard to
support ADC device configuration via the 4-wire SPI, conversion result access
using the LVDS interface, and conversion control in LVDS mode. The ZedBoard
acts as the conduit for communication between the ACE Software plug-in and the
EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ hardware.
The AD4080 operates with a 1.1 V digital interface supply voltage. To
translate between this 1.1 V level and the digital interface voltage level of
the ZedBoard (VADJ), SN74AVC1T45DCKR bidirectional level translators (U4, U5,
U6, U7, U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U16, and U17) are used on the EVAL-
AD4080-FMCZ hardware.

The ANALYSIS tab contains three collapsible panels (CAPTURE, ANALYSIS, and
RESULTS) and a data plot area to the right. Collapsing any of the three panels
is done by clicking on the arrow located to the right of the panel name and is
useful to leave more space for the data plot area when needed.
The CAPTURE panel allows setting the number of samples to be captured per
dataset, triggering the acquisition of a single dataset, and initiating or
stopping the continuous acquisition of a dataset.
The ANALYSIS panel displays options related to the frequency domain analysis.
The RESULTS panel provides metrics for the current dataset being displayed in
the plot area. Different metrics are provided depending on the kind of plot
that was selected (see the Time Domain (Waveform) Plot section, Frequency
Domain (FFT) Plot section, and Histogram Plot section for additional details).
This panel also allows navigating between the datasets acquired during the
session, and importing and exporting datasets in the internal format used by
the ACE Software is also facilitated.
The user has the option to display the acquired datasets as a time domain
waveform (default option), a frequency domain plot through a fast Fourier
transform (FFT) or as a histogram, which is selected by clicking on any of the
three corresponding buttons located to the left of the CAPTURE panel (see
Figure 13).
TIME DOMAIN (WAVEFORM) PLOT
The active dataset can be displayed as a time domain waveform by clicking on
the Waveform area highlighted in yellow in Figure 14, which is the default
view. Note how the CAPTURE and ANALYSIS panels are collapsed for an improved
display of the plot.
When the dataset is plotted as a time domain waveform, the RESULTS panel
displays metrics relevant to time domain analysis: minimum, maximum, average,
RMS, etc.
When the dataset is plotted as a frequency domain waveform, the RESULTS panel
displays metrics relevant to frequency domain analysis: signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR), total harmonic distortion (THD), etc.

SUPPORTED CONFIGURATIONS
The following sections describe the hardware and software configurations that
the EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ supports.
ANALOG FRONT-END
Stage 1 Bypass
Stage 1 can be optionally bypassed to allow direct drive of the second stage
(FDA) from the SMA connectors.
To bypass Stage 1, do the following:
Remove R4, R6, R66 and R114 to disconnect the Stage 1 amplifiers from the
stage input and output.
Populate R52 and R106 with 0 resistors to create the bypass path.
Close Switch 1 and Switch 2 from the Switch Array S1 (see Table 3) to power
down the now unused U1 and U2 amplifiers.
Stage 1 Gain
Stage 1 amplifiers are arranged for unity gain by default; however, this gain can be changed to a noninverting gain configuration.
To set the desired gain choose a feedback resistance (RFB) to gain resistance (RG) ratio according to the following equation:
Gain
=
1
RFB RG
(1)
The necessary changes follow:
Change the R8 and R9 feedback resistors for a value of RFB. Populate R5 and R7
with a value of RG. Populate 0 R29 and R78 resistors.
For the JP7 and JP14 solder links, link Pad 1 to Pad 2.
Stage 1 Filtering
A differential, first-order, RC filter can be implemented at the input of Stage 1 to bandwidth limit and reduce noise.
To obtain the desired 3 dB cutoff frequency sett values to the frequency capacitance (CF) and frequency resistance (RF) so that the following:
f3dB
=
1 2RFCF
(2)
The necessary changes follow:
Change R4 and R6 to a RF value. Populate C67 and C79 with a CF value.
In addition to the RC filter (or instead of), the C7 and C8 capacitors across the feedback networks can be populated for further filtering.

EVAL-AD4080
Stage 1: Alternative Input Signal Sources
Differential Signal Source
In the default board configuration, the signal chain input (that is, Stage 1)
is designed to be driven by a fully differential signal source with 0 V common
mode applied at the SMA inputs (INP and INM). Because the default total gain
of the signal chain is 1 by default, an amplitude of 6 V p-p in the
differential signal results in a full-scale measurement at the ADC (-3 V to +3
V).
Note that the tight common-mode input requirement for the AD4080 (1.5 V ± 50
mV) does not apply to the signal at the input of the board because the
ADA4945-1 driving the ADC sets its output common mode independently of the
common mode at the input.
Single-Ended Input Source
A single-ended (ground referenced) AC signal can be fed to one of the EVAL-
AD4080-FMCZ inputs (for example, INP), while the other input is grounded. An
amplitude of 6 V p-p results in a full-scale measurement at the ADC (-3 V to
+3 V).
When a single-ended signal source is applied at INP, the U2 amplifier that
buffers the other input (INM) can be optionally disabled and bypassed. The
necessary changes to do this follow:
Remove R6 and R114 to disconnect the amplifier input and output from the
circuit.
Populate R106 with a 0 resistor to enable the bypass path. Close Switch 2 (ON
position) from Switch Array S1 (see Table 3)
to power down the now unused U2 amplifier.
Stage 2 Alternative Amplifiers
By default, Stage 2 houses an ADA4945-1 low distortion, fully differential
amplifier. Note that it is possible to use alternative amplifiers; however,
these amplifiers are not included on the EVALAD4080-FMCZ.
The ADA4940-1 can be used to achieve the lowest power consumption in this
stage. When using the ADA4940-1, the noise and distortion performance are
expected to degrade relative to the ADA4945-1.
The ADA4932-1 can be used for applications where distortion performance is
critical or applications where distortion performance is required up to 10
MHz. However, the improved distortion performance comes at the expense of
higher power consumption.
Both the ADA4940-1 and ADA4932-1 are footprint compatible with ADA4945-1,
although some pin connections must be changed. The necessary changes to use an
alternative amplifier are as follows:
Remove ADA4945-1 from the U3 footprint. Populate U3 with the ADA4940-1 or
ADA4932-1. For the JP3, JP4, JP5, JP6 solder links, remove the default
linkage (Pad 2 to Pad 3) and link Pad 1 to Pad 2 instead.

Stage 2 Bypass
By default, Stage 2 is enabled in the signal chain. To disable (bypass) Stage
2, the following hardware modifications are required:
Remove R10 and R11 to disconnect the Stage 2 input from the Stage 1 output.
Remove R102 and R03 to disconnect the Stage 2 output from the Stage 3 input.
Remove C75. Populate R33 and R18 with 0 resistors to bypass Stage 2.
Using an AMC (Stage 1 and Stage 2 Bypass)
The AMC is an Analog Devices, Inc., standard format for boards containing an
amplifier stage. Some examples of amplifiers available on an AMC board follow:
AMC-ADA4940-1ARZ AMC-ADA4896-2ARMZ AMC-ADA4807-2ARMZ AMC-ADA4805-2ARMZ AMC-
ADA4841-2ARMZ
The EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ includes the necessary connectors so that an AMC can be
fitted at the AFE, bypassing Stage 1 and Stage 2, which requires Stage 1 and
Stage 2 to be disabled and disconnected.
The following must be done to use an AMC:
Remove R4, R6, R102, R103 to disconnect Stage 1 from the signal chain input
and Stage 2 from output.
Remove the C75 capacitor. Populate the footprints of C67 and C79 with 0
resistors to
ground the inputs of Stage 1. Close Switch 1 and Switch 2 from Switch Array S1
(see Table 3)
to power down the now unused U1 and U2 amplifiers. To provide the correct
power supply to the AMC for the JP19 and
JP20 solder links, do the following: If using a fully differential amplifier
AMC, link Pad 1 to Pad 2. If using a single-ended amplifier AMC, link Pad 2 to
Pad 3.
Stage 3 Bypass
By default, Stage 3 amplifiers are enabled in the signal chain. To disable
Stage 3, the following hardware modifications are required:
For the JP15, JP16, JP17, and JP18 solder links, remove the default linkage
(Pad 2 to Pad 3) and link Pad 1 to Pad 2 instead.
COMMON-MODE CMO OUTPUT BUFFERING
By default, the common-mode voltage output from the ADC (CMO pin) is
unbuffered and not connected to the VOCM pin of the ADA4945-1. To make that
connection, the following hardware modification is required:

EVAL-AD4080
Populate R30 with a 0 resistor.
To buffer the CMO output of the AD4080 using an ADA4807-2 amplifier, the
following hardware modifications are required:
For the JP8 and JP9 solder links, remove the default linkage (Pad 1 to Pad 2)
and link Pad 2 to Pad 3 instead.
Remove R86.
VOLTAGE REFERENCE
Secondary Voltage Reference, LT6657-3
The default reference is the LTC6655-3 (U25). To instead use the LT6657-3
(U36) secondary on-board reference, do the following:
Remove the R147 resistor to disconnect the U25 output from the reference path.
Populate R146 with a 0 resistor to connect U36 to the reference path.
POWER SUPPLY RAILS
Internal AD4080 LDO Regulators for the 1.1 V Rails
By default, the two 1.1 V supply rails (VDD11 and IOVDD) required by the
AD4080 are supplied by on-board LDO regulators (U34 and U35). The rails can be
alternatively powered by two on-chip LDO regulators internal to the AD4080;
however, this requires disconnecting the externally generated supplies from
VDD11 and IOVDD and connecting a voltage source in the 1.5 V to 2.75 V range
at the VDDLDO pin. The presence of this external voltage at the VDDLDO pin
automatically triggers the start up of the internal regulators. A 2 V, LDO
regulator (U33)-generated rail on the EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ is prepared for this
function.
Therefore, to enable use of the on-chip LDO regulators, do the following:
Remove the P9 and P10 jumpers to disconnect the AD4080 1.1 V supply inputs
from the on-board generated rails.
Place a jumper across P6 to connect the 2 V rail to the VDDLDO pin.
Off-Board Powering of Individual Power Rails
Any, or all of, the on-board power rails shown in the Power Supplies section
can be externally supplied to the evaluation hardware, which can be useful for
evaluating the AD4080 with different power solutions or for measuring the
supply currents with benchtop equipment. When providing power to power rails
individually from an alternative source, the user ensure that the source used
can provide sufficient voltage and current to properly supply the rail.
Failure to do so can result in damage to the on-board components.

CLOCK CIRCUITRY
Using an External Clock Source
The EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ allows bypassing of the ADF4350 synthesizer and supplying
the AD9508 directly with an external clock. The following hardware changes
must be applied:
Remove the C137 and C138 capacitors. Populate R65 and R68 with 0 resistors.
The user is still required to enter the desired sampling frequency in the
EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ tab in the ACE Software. However, as the ACE Software plug-in
is unaware of the external clock
frequency, the user must take into account the divider factors that the ACE Software applies to the AD9508 and adjust the external clock frequency accordingly to effectively achieve the desired sampling rate. Table 2 describes how to choose the required external clock frequency for a desired sampling frequency. Entering a new sampling frequency in the ACE Software GUI also resynchronizes the AD4080 LVDS data with the ZedBoard host controller, which mandates that the external frequency be set before inputting the desired sample rate value through the ACE Software GUI. For example, for 40 MHz sampling, the input CLKIN frequency is first set to 400 MHz, and then, the ACE Software GUI is set to the desired 40 MHz frequency.

ANALOG FRONT END (AFE) CONSIDERATIONS
The AFE of EVAL-AD4080-FMCZ can be modified to suit the needs of specific
applications. Applying changes to the AFE usually involves trade-offs, and
designing the right AFE for an application requires careful consideration. The
following sections discuss some of the items that must be taken into
consideration when designing or modifying the AFE for this hardware evaluation
platform.
INPUT SIGNAL FILTERING
Limiting the bandwidth at the input of the signal chain to the region where
the signal of interest lies helps reduce excess noise. This reduction of noise
can be achieved by the provided mechanisms in the form of the RC filter at the
board input, the addition of the do not install (DNI) capacitors in the
amplifier feedback network bandwidth adjustment in Stage 1, or the increasing
of the capacitance value for the existing capacitors in the FDA feedback loop.
Note that the value of filter resistors may have an impact on the overall SNR.
The internal digital filters available inside the AD4080 are a useful feature
when considering the filtering in the signal chain as a whole. The user can
programmatically set a low pass filter, choosing a simple sinc1 filter or a
higher order sinc5 with a sharp roll-off to compliment the AFE filter or to
help relax its design requirements.
POWER vs. BANDWIDTH vs. NOISE
Choosing the lowest noise, lowest distortion, highest precision, wider
bandwidth amplifiers may require more power to be consumed in the AFE to reach
the required target performance. Therefore, power constrained applications
must carefully consider the choice of each amplifier.
GAIN
Care must be taken in the signal chain to consider where it is optimum to
place gain to maximize the SNR. As an example, it may be better to add the
required signal gain in a preceding low noise amplifier stage rather than in
the FDA that is tasked with driving the AD4080 because the FDA noise gain may
have a bigger impact on the signal chain SNR than the gain set by the
preceding lower noise stage.
ADC DRIVER STAGE
