Overview

This user guide provides technical details for the EVAL-AD3552RFMCZ, an evaluation platform for the AD3552R 16-bit dual-channel current output DAC. The document describes the board's integrated transimpedance amplifiers with selectable gains, on-board power conversion using the LT8336 and LTC7149, and ultra-low noise regulation via LT3045 and LT3094 LDOs. It includes instructions for setup with SDP-H1 and ZedBoard controllers, configuration of the ADR4525 voltage reference, and operation through the ACE software plugin. Detailed hardware descriptions covering link options, output range selection, and schematics are provided.

Use Cases

  • Evaluating AD3552R 16-bit DAC dynamic and DC performance
  • Prototyping high-speed waveform generation systems
  • Testing transimpedance amplifier gain configurations for precision instrumentation
  • Developing DAC control software using ACE or Kuiper Linux
  • Designing precision power management stages for high-speed converters

ADR4525

Analog Devices

The EVAL-AD3552RFMCZ also integrates an on-board 2.5 V analog reference ADR4525.

AD4080

Analog Devices

Alternatively, the 20-bit fast precision ADC AD4080 can be used to measure THD at high frequency and high impedance.

LT3045

Analog Devices

LDOs LT3045 and LT3094 are used to generate ±12 V for the transimpedance amplifiers. Another two LT3045 LDOs are used to generate the 5 V and 1.8 V supplies

LT3094

Analog Devices

LDOs LT3045 and LT3094 are used to generate ±12 V for the transimpedance amplifiers.

LT8336

Analog Devices

The board includes two DC/DC converters LT8336 and LTC7149 to generate ±16 V

LTC7149

Analog Devices

The board includes two DC/DC converters LT8336 and LTC7149 to generate ±16 V
