EVALUATION BOARD CIRCUITRY 

SOCKETS AND CONNECTORS 

The connectors and sockets on the EVAL-AD7383FMCZ are 
described in Table 3. 

Table 3. On-Board Connectors 

Connector Function 

J1 

Negative analog input for Channel A (A

IN

A−) 

J2 

Positive analog input for Channel A (A

IN

A+) 

J3 

Negative analog input for Channel B (A

IN

B−) 

J4 

Positive analog input for Channel B (A

IN

B+) 

P1 

Amplifier mezzanine card inputs 

P2 

Amplifier mezzanine card outputs 

P3 

Digital SPI signals 

P4 

Main board power supply (12 V) for all internal 
voltage regulators 

P5 

ADC power supply and digital SPI power supply 

P6 

Amplifier power supply 

P7 

Field programmable gate array (FPGA) mezzanine 
card (FMC) to low pin count (LPC) connector 

EXTREF 

External voltage reference 

The default interface to the EVAL-AD7383FMCZ is achieved 
via the 160-way connector. The connector attaches the EVAL-
AD7383FMCZ to th

SDP-H1

When using the EVAL-

AD7383FMCZ in standalone mode, communication is achieved 
via the P3 header pins. 

TEST POINTS 

There are several test points and single in line (SIL) headers on 
the EVAL-AD7383FMCZ. These test points provide access to 
the signals from the EVAL-AD7383FMCZ for probing, evaluation, 
and debugging.
