AD7616 User Guide

Overview

The AD7616 is a 16-bit, data acquisition system (DAS) that supports dual simultaneous sampling of 16 channels. The AD7616 operates from a single 5 V supply and can accommodate ±10 V, ±5 V, and ±2.5 V true bipolar input signals while sampling at throughput rates up to 1 MSPS per channel pair with 90 dB SNR. Higher SNR performance can be achieved with the on-chip oversampling mode; 92 dB for an oversampling ratio of 2.

The input clamp protection circuitry can tolerate voltages up to ±20 V. The AD7616 has 1 MΩ analog input impedance regardless of sampling frequency. The single supply operation, on-chip filtering, and high input impedance eliminate the need for driver op-amps and external bipolar supplies.

Each device contains analog input clamp protection, a dual, 16-bit charge redistribution successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a flexible digital filter, a 2.5 V reference and reference buffer, and high-speed serial and parallel interfaces.

Applications:

  • Powerline monitoring
  • Protective relays
  • Multiphase motor control
  • Instrumentation and control systems
  • Data acquisition systems (DAS)

Using the HDL reference design

In the ADI Reference Designs HDL User Guide can be found an in-depth presentation and instructions about the HDL design in general.

In the axi_ad7616's wiki page, can be found a detailed description of the core.

The data path of the HDL design is simple as follows:

  • the serial or parallel interface is controlled by the axi_ad7616 IP core
  • data is written into memory by a DMA (axi_dmac core)
  • all the control pins of the device are driven by GPIO's

In order to build the HDL design the user has to go through the following steps:

  1. Confirm that you have the right tools (see Release notes)
  2. Clone the HDL GitHub repository (see https://wiki.analog.com/resources/fpga/docs/git)
  3. Choose the required interface (see caption Switching between interface types)

Switching between interface types

Before power-up the board, the user has to choose the required device interface and setup, in function of the required interface mode some hardware modification needs to be done on the board and/or Tcl script:

1) In case of the SERIAL interface:

  • open system_project.tcl and set:
set ad7616_if 0
  • Short the SL5 on the board. (It is on the front side of the board, near of the device)
  • To activate both SDI line, short the SL3 on the back of the board.

2) In case of the PARALLEL interface:

set ad7616_if 1
  • No hardware modification required for this interface mode.
Because of the SDP-I-FMC the level of the VADJ in the carrier board needs to be set to 3.3V.

Create the SDK Project

To run the application the user has to create an Empty Application Project using Xilinx SDK, and have to copy all the design sources to the sw directory. (see SDK Software Setup for more detailed instructions) Another option for building the no-OS is using the Makefile. (see Build no-OS with GNU make)
