QUICK START GUIDE

The AD4060/AD4062 ACE plugin is the evaluation GUI that interfaces with the firmware on the Nucleo-H563ZI controller board to
communicate with the connected EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVALAD4062-ARDZ evaluation board. The ACE software must be installed prior to installing and running the AD4060/AD4062 ACE plugin. See the Software Installation Procedure section for  instructions on downloading the ACE software and the AD4060/AD4062 ACE plugin.
HARDWARE SETUP
This section details how to set up the AD4060/AD4062 and Nucleo- H563ZI boards for use with the AD4060/AD4062 ACE plugin. Refer to the Evaluation Board Hardware section for detailed descriptions of the on-board circuit blocks and for descriptions of all jumpers referenced in this section.
To set up the hardware, complete the following steps:
► Disconnect both the evaluation board and the Nucleo-H563ZI from all power sources before connecting them together.
► The EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ connect to the Nucleo-H563ZI via the Arduino Uno compatible headers (P1 to P4). Plug the headers on the bottom side of the evaluation board to the corresponding headers on the top side of the Nucleo-H563ZI (see Figure 2).

After the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ are connected to the Nucleo-H563ZI board, power can be applied to the Nucleo-H563ZI.
The PWR SEL jumper (JP2) on the Nucleo-H563ZI can be used to select between different input power options for powering up the Nucleo-H563ZI. STLK is the default jumper setting for PWR_SEL and uses the USB STLINK as the power source.
The LD5 light-emitting diode (LED) illuminates when Nucleo-H563ZI is receiving power from its PWR_SEL source. On the
EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ, the DS1 LED illuminates when the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ are receiving power from the Nucleo-H563ZI and are generating the +3.3V rail to the on-board AD4060/AD4062 and its companion circuitry.
When powering from the USB, perform the following steps:
► Ensure the JP2 jumper on the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVALAD4062-ARDZ is set to the +5V position. This position connects the evaluation board power management circuitry to the +5V pin on the Arduino Uno power header.
► Connect the Nucleo-H563ZI to the PC with a USB cable. After a few seconds, the PWR LED (LD6) on the Nucleo-H563ZI illuminates to indicate the Nucleo-H563ZI is receiving power from the USB.

When powering from an external power supply, perform the following steps:
► Ensure the JP2 jumper on the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVALAD4062-ARDZ is set to the VIN position. This position connects the evaluation board power management circuitry to the VIN pin on the Arduino Uno power header.
► Set the JP2 jumper on the Nucleo-H563ZI to VIN 5V position.
This allows a 7V to 12V DC signal to be supplied to the VIN Arduino Uno power header, and the Nucleo-H563ZI’s on-board LDO supplies a steady 5V power to the Nucleo-H563ZI circuitry.
See the Nucleo-H563ZI user manual for additional ways to use an external power source to power up the Nucleo-H563ZI and set the PWR SEL jumper accordingly.
► After the external power supply is connected, connect the Nucleo-H563ZI to the PC with a USB cable.

Before launching the AD4060/AD4062 ACE plugin, it is recommended to connect a precision signal source or signal generator to the analog input Subminiature Version A (SMA) connectors to drive the AD4060/AD4062 inputs into their specified operating ranges.
See the Analog Front End (AFE) section for more information.
If no signal generator is available, a jumper cable between the VREF and VCM test points can be used to bias the AD4060/ AD4062 analog inputs to VREF. This is preferred over connecting the amplifier inputs to GND, because the amplifier VEE rails are connected to GND by default.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE

HARDWARE OVERVIEW
The EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ include the AD4060/AD4062 with companion circuitry for an out of the box evaluation experience. The EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062ARDZ also include several prototyping options for the analog and
digital circuitry on board, as described in the following sections.
Figure 6 shows a simplified block diagram of the EVAL-AD4060ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ. Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the location of the primary circuit blocks on the board. The factory-default circuitry includes the following:
► AD4060BCPZ/AD4062BCPZ: the 14-lead LFCSP model of the AD4060/AD4062
► The low-noise, low-power MAX6070 voltage reference provides a 2.5V reference voltage for the AD4060/AD4062
► Two low-power, rail-to-rail input and output MAX44260 operational amplifiers (op amps) buffer the signal generator’s output to the AD4060/AD4062 analog inputs
► The AD7118 regulates the Nucleo-H563ZI input power source down to a 3.3V rail to power the AD4060/AD4062 and other analog components

These companion components were selected to simplify evaluation and achieve typical performance characteristics of the AD4060/ AD4062 and are not necessarily applicable to all system designs and use cases.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE

CONNECTORS AND SOCKETS
The connectors and sockets on the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL- AD4062-ARDZ are outlined in Table 1.
Table 1. On-Board Connectors

Connector	Function
AIN− AIN+ VCM P1 to P4	Negative analog input (SMA) Positive analog input (SMA) Common-mode input (SMA) Arduino Uno headers

DIGITAL INTERFACE CONNECTIONS
The AD4060/AD4062 digital interface includes an I3C interface for reading and writing data, and two GPIOs with multiple functions.
The AD4060/AD4062 digital interface signals are transmitted between the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ and the controller board via the Arduino Uno digital headers (P3 and P4).
The digital pin function assignment conforms to the Arduino Uno standard, with the I3C interface on the standard I2C header pins.
Table 2 details the digital signal names, default and secondary functions, and digital header pin assignments.
The AD4060/AD4062 include three digital input pins ADDR0, ADDR1, and ADDR2. The ADDR[2:0] pins enable the assignment of up to eight unique part instance values to support up to
eight AD4060/AD4062s on one I3C bus. The EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/ EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ’s jumpers JP11, JP 12, and JP10 allow for setting the ADDR0, ADDR1, and ADDR2 respectively to either VIO or GND.
Currently, the default EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ software only supports an ADDR[2:0] value = 3’b000. When evaluating the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ using the default software in ACE, ADDR0, ADDR1, and ADDR2 all must be set to GND.
The EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ include an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) (U5) used by the AD4060/AD4062 ACE plugin to identify and connect to the board. The controller board communicates with the EEPROM via the inter-integrated circuit (I2C) pins on the Arduino Uno header.
Note the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ include the ICSP header (P5) to conform to the Arduino Uno mechanical specification only. The pins on this header are not routed out as signals to the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ.

Figure 9 shows the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ power tree. In factory default configuration, the EVAL-AD4060ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ analog circuitry is powered by an onboard 3.3V supply and the AD4060/AD4062 I/O logic voltage is
supplied directly from the controller board’s IOREF voltage. The on board ADP7118 LDO regulator (U8) regulates the controller board power into a low-noise 3.3V rail to supply the AD4060/AD4062, the voltage reference, and the op amps.
The controller board (Nucleo-H563ZI, for example) provides the input power for the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ through the Arduino Uno power header (P2 on the EVAL-AD4060ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ). The JP2 jumper selects between the  +5V or VIN as the input source of the ADP7118 that supplies the 3.3V analog rail. By default, +5V is selected, as 5V has enough headroom for the ADP7118 to generate a regulated 3.3V output. The Nucleo-H563ZI can generate the 5V supply from either an  external DC supply or from the USB port (see the Nucleo-H563ZI user manual for more detail). The EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062ARDZ supply current demand in the default configuration is low enough to be powered off the USB port without an additional supply.

The AD4060/AD4062 digital I/O logic supplies (VIO) are sourced directly from the IOREF voltage from the controller board via P2. This ensures the AD4060/AD4062 digital interfaces operate on the same logic levels as the controller board. The AD4060/AD4062 support 3.3V logic. By default, the JP1 jumper connects the VIO supply on the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ to the IOREF supply from the controller board.

Table 3 lists the power domains present on the EVAL-AD4060ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ as named in the schematic. Each power rail can be measured or driven with external supplies via the test points labeled in the table. See the Hardware and Link Options
section for details on how to configure the jumpers to supply the rails with external supplies. Refer to the data sheets for each relevant product when providing power externally.

VIO	AD4060/AD4062 digital logic supply.	VIO	3.3 (IOREF)

VOLTAGE REFERENCE CIRCUIT
In the factory default configuration, the on board MAX6070 (U4) provides a 2.5V reference voltage (VREF) to the AD4060/AD4062 REF input. The VREF sets the input range of the AD4060/AD4062, as described in the AD4060 and AD4062 data sheets. By default, the MAX6070 is powered by the 3.3V analog rail. A 2.2μF VREF decoupling capacitor (C2) is located next to the AD4060/AD4062 REF pin to ensure a stable 2.5V VREF voltage during the conversion time of the SAR ADC core.

ANALOG FRONT END (AFE)
The AFE components provide signal conditioning between the signal generator outputs and the AD4060/AD4062 analog inputs (IN+ and IN− pins). In the factory default configuration, the AFE consists of the following components:
► SMA connectors for the positive and negative inputs (J1 and J2, respectively)
► SMA connector for an optional common-mode voltage (VCM) source (J3)
► Passive filter network for signal generator noise and/or anti-aliasing filtering (see Figure 10)
► MAX44260 operational amplifiers in 6-lead SC70 footprint configured as unity-gain buffers by default (see Figure 11)
► RC kickback filter at the AD4060/AD4062 inputs

The Analog Inputs section provides instructions for interfacing the signal generator and the SMA inputs on the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/ EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ.
By default, the amplifiers are configured as unity-gain buffers, but optional passive components are included in the design to support noninverting with gain, single-pole active filter, and Sallen-Key filter configurations.
By default, all amplifiers are powered with a single supply with VEE connected to GND and VCC supplied by VSUPPLY = 3.3V. See the Power Supplies section for more details.

The shutdown pins on the AFE amplifiers can optionally be routed to the GP0 pin on the AD4060/AD4062 via JP3 and JP4 jumpers.
This allows performance and power measurements using the DEV_EN control signal from the AD4060/AD4062 to power-cycle the amplifiers in between conversions. See the AD4060 and AD4062 data sheets for more information on the DEV_EN control signal
for dynamic power cycling of the AFE.

Analog Inputs
This section provides guidance for driving the EVAL-AD4060- ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ with a precision signal generator for ADC performance evaluation.
The AD4060/AD4062 input range is set by the VREF voltage. In the factory default configuration, the on board MAX6070 generates a 2.5V VREF (see Voltage Reference Circuit section). Therefore, the AD4060/AD4062 input is 0V to 2.5V on either input (IN+ and IN−) for a resulting maximum differential input swing of 2.5V peak and 5V p-p.

By default, the MAX44260 amplifiers driving the AD4060/AD4062 analog inputs are configured as unity-gain buffers, so the signal on their noninverting inputs must also be limited to 0V to 2.5V. When populating optional feedback networks for larger gain, the input signal must be limited such that the output swings of the amplifier stay within the AD4060/AD4062 input range.
The following provides some examples for hooking up different types of signal generators to the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVALAD4062-ARDZ. All of the following examples ignore the output impedance of the signal generator:

► For signal generators with bipolar, differential output swings (signals that go below GND), the VCM input provides a means to apply the necessary DC offset to satisfy the input range specification of the MAX44260 amplifiers. Figure 13 gives an example with a 2.5V VREF and amplifiers in unity-gain configuration. The signal source (VS) is 5V peak or 10V p-p and VCM is 2.5V DC.
► For signal generators with floating, differential outputs, the VCM input provides a means to apply the necessary DC offset to satisfy the input range specification of the MAX44260 amplifiers.
Figure 14 gives an example with a 2.5V VREF and amplifiers in unity-gain configuration. The differential input swing (VIN,diff) is 5V peak or 10V p-p and VCM is 1.25V DC.
► For signal generators with differential outputs that provide their own DC offset, the VCM input can be left disconnected. In the factory default configuration, the R41 and R42 resistors that are used with the VCM input will attenuate the differential input signal
by half. It is recommended to disconnect R41 and R42 when using these types of signal generators, as shown in Figure 15.
VIN,diff is 2.5V peak or 5V p-p, and VCM is 1.25V DC.

Note that any noise generated by the signal generator will propagate through the AFE circuit and appear at the AD4060/AD4062 analog inputs. If the noise of the signal generator is large enough, performance metrics like SNR, RMS noise, and others will be affected.
If the noise signal is common to both the positive and negative inputs, then the AD4060/AD4062 will reject some portion of it depending on the bandwidth of the device. If the noise signal is differential (or when operating the board with a single-ended signal generator), the noise will couple directly into the ADC samples.
By default, the EVAL-AD4060-ARDZ/EVAL-AD4062-ARDZ are populated with a single-pole RC low-pass filter set to a bandwidth of ~140kHz to assist with anti-aliasing and noise filtering. The RC filter components can be modified based on the input signal bandwidth and noise targets for the evaluation or prototyping system.
