AD5757 FMC-SDP Interposer & Evaluation Board / Xilinx KC705 Reference Design
Supported Devices
Evaluation Boards
Overview
This document presents the steps to setup an environment for using the EVAL-AD5757SDZ evaluation board together with the Xilinx KC705 FPGA board and the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK). Below is presented a picture of the EVAL-AD5757SDZ Evaluation Board with the Xilinx KC705 board.
For component evaluation and performance purposes, as opposed to quick prototyping, the user is directed to use the part evaluation setup. This consists of:
- 1. A controller board like the SDP-B ( EVAL-SDP-CS1Z)
- 2. The component SDP compatible product evaluation board
- 3. Corresponding PC software ( shipped with the product evaluation board)
The SDP-B controller board is part of Analog Devices System Demonstration Platform (SDP). It provides a high speed USB 2.0 connection from the PC to the component evaluation board. The PC runs the evaluation software. Each evaluation board, which is an SDP compatible daughter board, includes the necessary installation file required for performance testing.
Note: it is expected that the analog performance on the two platforms may differ.
Below is presented a picture of SDP-B Controller Board with the EVAL-AD5757SDZ Evaluation Board.
The AD5757 is a quad, current output DAC that operates with a power supply range from 10.8 V to 33 V. On-chip dynamic power control minimizes package power dissipation by regulating the voltage on the output driver from 7.4 V to 29.5 V using a dc-to-dc boost converter optimized for minimum on-chip power dissipation. Each channel has a corresponding CHART pin so that HART signals can be coupled onto the current output of the AD5757.
The EVAL-AD5757SDZ evaluation board is designed to help customers quickly prototype new AD5757 circuits and reduce design time. To power the AD5757SDZ evaluation board supply 15V between the AVSS (0V) and AVDD (+15V) inputs for the analog supply and 5V between PGND(0V) and AVCC(+5V) as DC-to-DC supply voltage.

Getting Started
The first objective is to ensure that you have all of the items needed and to install the software tools so that you are ready to create and run the evaluation project.
Required Hardware
- FMC-SDP adapter board
- EVAL-AD5757SDZ evaluation board
Required Software
- Xilinx ISE 14.6 (Programmer (IMPACT) is sufficient for the demo and is available on Webpack).
- UART Terminal (Tera Term/Hyperterminal), baud rate 115200
Downloads
- Xilinx Boards Common Drivers: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/no-OS/tree/master/platform_drivers/Xilinx/SDP_Common
- EDK KC705 Reference project: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/fpgahdl_xilinx/tree/master/cf_sdp_kc705
Hardware setup
Before connecting the ADI evaluation board to the Xilinx KC705 make sure that the VADJ_FPGA voltage of the KC705 is set to 3.3V. For more details on how to change the setting for VADJ_FPGA visit the Xilinx KC705 product page.
- Use the FMC-SDP interposer to connect the ADI evaluation board to the Xilinx KC705 board on the FMC LPC connector.
- Connect the JTAG and UART cables to the KC705 and power up the FPGA board.
To power on the EVAL-AD5757 evaluation board, you need to provide an external +15V AVdd and -15V AVss analog supply voltage and a +5V AVcc DC-to-DC supply voltage, which will supplies all four on-board dc-to-dc blocks and may draw as much as 0.8 A peak current per channel (for more information see: EVAL-AD5757SDZ evaluation board user guide).

Software Project Setup
The hardware platform for each reference projects with FMC-SDP interposer and KC705 evaluation board is common. The next steps should be followed to recreate the software project of the reference design:
- First download the KC705 Reference project from Github on your computer. You can do this by clonning this repository: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/fpgahdl_xilinx.
- From this entire repository you will use cf_sdp_kc705 folder. This is common for all KC705 projects.
- Open the Xilinx SDK. When the SDK starts, it asks you to provide a folder where to store the workspace. Any folder can be provided. Make sure that the path where it is located does not contain any spaces.
- In the SDK select the File→Import menu option to import the software projects into the workspace.
- In the Import window select the General→Existing Projects into Workspace option.
- In the Import Projects window select the cf_sdp_kc705 folder as root directory and check the Copy projects into workspace option. After the root directory is chosen the projects that reside in that directory will appear in the Projects list. Press Finish to finalize the import process.
- The Project Explorer window now shows the projects that exist in the workspace without software files.
- Now the software must be added in your project. For downloading the software, you must use 3 links from Github given in Downloads section. From there you'll download the specific driver, the specific commands and the Xilinx Boards Common Drivers(which are commons for all Xilinx boards). All the software files downloaded must be copied in src folder from sw folder.
- Before compilation in the file called Communication.h you have to uncomment the name of the device that you currently use. In the picture below there is an example of this, which works only with AD5629R project. For another device, uncomment only the respective name. You can have one driver working on multiple devices, so the drivers's name and the uncommented name may not be the same for every project.
- The SDK should automatically build the project and the Console window will display the result of the build. If the build is not done automatically, select the Project→Build Automatically menu option.
- If the project was built without any errors, you can program the FPGA and run the software application.
