EVAL-AD3552RFMCZ Evaluation Board User Guide
User guide for the EVAL-AD3552RFMCZ evaluation board, featuring the AD3552R 16-bit dual-channel DAC with high-speed transimpedance amplifiers and power management circuitry.
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
