SBAU446 December 2023 ADC3683-SP
This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADC36xxEVMCVAL and discusses how to set up and configure the software and hardware, and reviews various aspects of the program operation. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the ADC36xxEVMCVAL. In the following sections of this document, the ADC36xxEVMCVAL evaluation board is referred to as the EVM and the ADC36XXQML-SP devices are referred to as the ADC devices, respectively. This document applies only to the ADC3683EVMCVAL and ADC3664EVMCVAL.
By default, the EVM is configured to receive external inputs for the sampling clock and analog input via AC-coupled, transformer (balun) inputs. These transformers perform single-ended to differential conversion, and provide a low noise/distortion passive input.
To exercise the full performance capabilities of this high performance successive approximation (SAR) ADC, TI recommends to evaluate the ADC in the default configuration, and then evaluate in other configurations, as needed.
