GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The EVAL-AD7383FMCZ is a fully featured evaluation board 
that evaluates all features of th

AD7383

 analog-to-digital 

converter (ADC). The EVAL-AD7383FMCZ is controlled by the 

EVAL-SDP-CH1Z

 (SDP-H1) system demonstration platform 

(SDP) via the 160-way SDP connector, J4. The SDP-H1 
controls the EVAL-AD7383FMCZ through the USB port of a 
PC using th

Analysis | Control | Evaluation (ACE)

 software, 

which is available to download from the ACE software page or the 

AD7383

 product page. 

The EVAL-AD7383FMCZ can be used to evaluate the 

AD7384

 

(14-bit, 4 MSPS), the 

AD4682

 (16-bit, 1 MSPS), and the 

AD4683

 

(16-bit, 500 kSPS) pseudo differential, successive approximation 
register (SAR) ADCs. Th

AD7383

 and th

AD7384

 only differ 

in the number of clock cycles when clocking out the conversion 
results, which are related to the resolution of the device. The 

AD4682

 and 

AD4683

 have a slower throughput rate than the 

AD7383

For full details on the 

AD7383

, see the 

AD7383

 data sheet, which 

must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using 
the EVAL-AD7383FMCZ. In addition, full details on the SDP-H1 
are available on the SDP-H1 product page, and the comprehensive 

ACE

 user guide is available on th

ACE

 software page.
