The J7 configuration is set to ensure the voltage input of the
ADR3433ARJZ
is
within its specified range (<5.5 V).
The
ADR4550BRZ
and
ADR3433ARJZ
also supply the
VCM node, which can be used as a dc bias or common-mode
voltage for the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) driver. Figure 29
shows the circuitry generating VCM. See the Analog Inputs section
for more information on VCM operation.
ANALOG INPUTS
This section describes how to apply analog inputs to the
EVAL-
ADAQ7980SDZ
.
The
ADAQ7980
contains an ADC driver. The user has access to
the noninverting and inverting inputs and output of the ADC
driver (IN+, IN−, and AMP_OUT, respectively). This allows
configurability of the driver by means of jumper settings and
passive components. Figure 17 shows the ADC driver
connection diagram, including all relevant jumpers and passive
components for configuration.
Figure 17. Relevant Links and Components for Configuring the ADC Driver
The ADC input accepts unipolar signals between ground and
the voltage set by the integrated reference buffer (voltage on the
REF and REF_OUT pins). Therefore, the ADC driver outputs
must be limited to ground and the voltage on REF_OUT as
well. Because the signal is unipolar, the input signal must
include a dc offset component, typically to REF/2.
If the input source cannot supply the dc bias, a common mode
voltage generated on board (labeled VCM in Figure 17) can
connect to the noninverting input of the ADC driver through
the R
22
resistor. VCM is set to REF/2 by default. Use R
22
and R
24
resistors to set VCM to another desired dc voltage. See the
Reference section for more information on VCM.
Table 2 outlines the link settings and passive components that
implement common ADC driver configurations.

The
EVAL-ADAQ7980SDZ
is configured by factory default
with the ADC driver in a unity-gain configuration. The dc
offset needed for unipolar signals can be provided either by the
signal source or by using the on-board dc offset VCM.
The analog inputs to the
EVAL-ADAQ7980SDZ
are the P1 to P4
SMA Connectors. The input circuit arrangement is controlled by
the settings of J1 to J3. The circuit not only allows different
configurations, input range scaling, and filtering, but also allows
adding a dc component. The analog input amplifiers are set as
unity-gain buffers by factory default. The amplifier positive rail is
driven from 7.5 V from U7 (
ADP7118
). The amplifier negative
rail is driven from −2.5 V, generated by U9 (
ADP7182
).
A differential output source can also drive the
EVAL-
ADAQ7980SDZ
inputs as long as the output of the source can
be biased to the midscale (either internally or externally). The
P3 and P4 connectors and the R
18

voltage divider balance
termination of the signal source.
