FEATURES
Operates from a Single +5V Supply
On-Board Reference and Digital Buffers
Various Linking Options
Direct Hook-Up to Printer Port of PC
PC Software for Control and Data Analysis
OPERATING THE AD7714-5 EVALUATION BOARD
Power Supplies
The evaluation board has four power supply input pins: AV
DD
,
AGND, DV
DD
and DGND. The AD7714-5 is specified with an
AV
DD
of +5V. Therefore, the AV
DD
voltage supplied to the
board must be +5V. This AV
DD
voltage is also used to power the
AD780 reference. The AD7714-5 can be operated from a +5V
or +3V DV
DD
voltage. When using the 9-way D-type connector
to interface to the evaluation board it is possible to apply a
DV
DD
voltage of either +3V or +5V to the DV
DD
input terminal
on the board. However, when using the 36-way Centronics
connector to interface to the board, the voltage applied to the
DV
DD
input terminal must be +5V. This is because the
Centronics connector is intended for connection to the printer
port of a PC with signals driven from +5V supplies. To run the
board from a single +5V supply, simply connect the AV
DD
and
DV
DD
inputs together.
Both AGND and DGND inputs are provided on the board.
AGND connects to the AD7714-5 AGND pin and also con-
nects to the GND pin of the AD780. DGND connects to the
DGND pin of the AD7714 and to the GND of the digital chips
on the board. The AGND and DGND planes are connected at
the AD7714. Therefore, it is recommended not to connect
AGND and DGND elsewhere in the system to avoid ground
loop problems. When using a single supply for both AV
DD
and
DV
DD
, only one ground connection should be made to the
board. This connection should be made to the board's AGND
input terminal.
Both supplies are decoupled to their respective ground plane
with 10µF tantalum and 0.1µF ceramic disc capacitors.

INTRODUCTION
This Application Note describes the evaluation board for the
AD7714-5, 24-Bit signal conditioning ADC. The AD7714 is a
complete analog front end for low-frequency applications
providing either three fully-differential or five pseudo-
differential input channels. The device accepts low-level signals
directly from a transducer and outputs a serial digital word. It
employs a sigma delta technique to realize up to 24 bits of no
missing codes performance. Full data on the AD7714-5 is
available in the AD7714 data sheet available from Analog
Devices and should be consulted in conjunction with this
Application Note when using the Evaluation Board.
Included on the evaluation board, along with the AD7714-5, are
an AD780, a +2.5 V ultra high precision bandgap reference, a
2.4576MHz crystal and digital buffers to buffer signals to and
from the edge connectors.
Interfacing to this board is provided either through a 36-Way
Centronics Connector or through a 9-way D-type connector.
External sockets are provided for the analog inputs, an external
reference input option and an external master clock option.
