AD4030-24-KTZ Overview
A SAR ADC is a Nyquist-rate converter that uses a binary-search algorithm against a precision DAC to resolve each analog sample in N successive clock cycles, where N is the output resolution. Within the broader data-converter taxonomy, the SAR family sits between high-speed flash and pipeline converters on one side and ultra-high-resolution delta-sigma converters on the other; SAR parts dominate when designers need 16-24 bit resolution with deterministic, zero-latency response and multi-MHz sample rates. The AD4030-24 occupies the high-precision end of this family.
Key features of the underlying AD4030-24 silicon include ±0.9 ppm maximum integral nonlinearity (INL), guaranteed no missing codes at 24 bits across the full -40 C to +125 C operating range, a 2 MSPS sample rate in turbo mode (500 kSPS for the lower-power AD4032-24), an Easy Drive analog input that greatly reduces input current transients, and an integrated reference buffer with on-chip decoupling that minimizes external BOM. The 7 mm x 7 mm 64-ball CSP_BGA silicon package routes all critical reference and supply bypass internally.
Architecturally, the converter combines a precision CDAC, a high-bandwidth input track-and-hold, and a low-noise reference buffer. Easy Drive simplifies system design by absorbing the kickback current that normally flows when a SAR ADC samples a low-bandwidth source, allowing high-impedance or unbuffered sensors to connect directly to the input pins without degrading distortion performance.
Typical applications for the EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ platform include precision instrumentation front-ends (weigh scales, industrial process controls), data-acquisition modules for seismic and vibration analysis, medical diagnostic instrumentation, and seismic/energy-exploration receivers. The board is also widely used as a benchmark when evaluating next-generation 24-bit precision SAR alternatives such as the TI ADS127L11.
Design tip: when characterizing the AD4030-24, supply a clean 5 V external reference for best dynamic range and use the board's on-board LDO for AVDD rather than sharing a noisy switching rail; this preserves the converter's 109 dB dynamic range in real measurements.

Typical Applications
AD4030-24-KTZ is suitable for 6 applications: Precision Weigh-Scale Front-End, Industrial Data-Acquisition Modules, Seismic and Vibration Analysis, Medical Instrumentation, Test & Measurement Instrumentation, Energy Exploration Receivers.
Precision Weigh-Scale Front-End
The AD4030-24 silicon evaluated on the EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ platform delivers 24-bit no-missing-codes precision and ±0.9 ppm maximum INL, which directly translates to weigh-scale readability below the milligram range in commercial and legal-for-trade applications. Easy Drive input structure absorbs kickback current from strain-gauge bridges, so a full Wheatstone bridge or load cell can connect directly to the AFE without an external instrumentation amplifier. The 109 dB dynamic range maintains usable signal-to-noise even as the bridge excitation is trimmed for low-power portable scales. Place the AD4030-24 directly behind the bridge, drive the reference from a clean 5 V LDO, and avoid sharing the analog and digital grounds on the EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ layout.

Industrial Data-Acquisition Modules
Multiplexed industrial data-acquisition modules rely on the AD4030-24's 2 MSPS turbo throughput to scan 8-32 channels within a single settling window, accelerating measurement campaigns without sacrificing the 24-bit resolution required by precision PLCs. EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ mimics this multiplexing front-end so engineers can validate cross-channel settling, total harmonic distortion, and integrated channel-to-channel isolation. The integrated reference buffer cuts BOM in space-constrained industrial form factors, and zero-latency track-and-hold supports deterministic control loops. Reproduce the eval-board ground partition (separate AGND/DGND joined at the converter) to maintain the 109 dB dynamic range in your multi-channel card.
Recommended
Seismic and Vibration Analysis
Geophone and accelerometer front-ends for seismic exploration and vibration analysis require both high dynamic range and very low aliasing, which is precisely where the AD4030-24 silicon on the EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ stands out. The Easy Drive analog front end lets engineers connect IEPE piezoelectric sensors and geophone coils directly, with the AD4030-24 capturing 24-bit waveforms at 2 MSPS with 109 dB dynamic range referenced to a 5 V reference. The zero-latency track-and-hold supports event-detection triggers, and the 64-ball BGA lands signals and ground returns within a 7 mm x 7 mm footprint, simplifying the ruggedized mechanical housing. Use the eval platform to qualify sensor matching before taping out the ruggedized BGA variant of your seismic module.
Recommended
Medical Instrumentation
Patient-monitoring and diagnostic equipment such as electro-cardiographs, infusion-pump flow sensors, and continuous-glucose monitors benefit from the AD4030-24's combination of 24-bit precision and 2 MSPS throughput, exactly the envelope that EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ is built to characterize. With ±0.9 ppm INL the converter preserves the small-signal detail needed for diagnostic-grade ECG and EEG front-ends, while the Easy Drive input stage eliminates many of the leakage-current issues that complicate battery-powered medical devices. The integrated reference buffer simplifies the BOM and shrinks PCB area around the patient-isolation barrier. Validate your medical front-end with the EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ to confirm CMRR, input-referred noise, and ISO 60601 compliance margins.
Recommended
Test & Measurement Instrumentation
Benchtop digital multimeters, calibration standards, and high-end bench scopes require 24-bit direct-conversion precision paired with >1 MSPS sample rates, which the AD4030-24 provides through the EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ evaluation platform. The reference buffer and integrated decoupling minimize the parasitic inductance in the reference path, an issue that often limits THD+Noise in T&M equipment. Engineers use the eval kit to characterize linearity, gain error, and aperture delay against reference instruments, then drop in the production AD4030-24BCCZ 64-ball BGA on their next PCB rev. Pay particular attention to the eval board's USB ground-return strategy when porting to mains-powered T&M chassis.
Recommended
Energy Exploration Receivers
Multi-channel downhole data-acquisition systems for energy exploration require 24-bit precision and aggressive per-channel sample rates; the AD4030-24 silicon on the EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ meets both requirements. Easy Drive simplifies the surface-mount down-hole pressure-temperature string telemetry front end, while the integrated reference buffer eases reliability constraints at high ambient temperatures up to +125 C. Use the eval board to validate resolution, aliasing, and per-channel power budget before committing to the ruggedized down-hole telemetry module. The 7 mm x 7 mm CSP_BGA of the AD4030-24 fits the mechanical envelope of integrated down-hole tool strings.

Key Differentiators
- Highest-throughput 24-bit SAR ADC in the AD4030/AD4032 family (vs EVAL-AD4032-24-KTZ)
- Same 64-ball CSP_BGA footprint as the AD4032-24 for layout reuse (vs AD4032-24BCCZ)
- Easy Drive analog front-end eliminates the input buffer (vs TI ADS127L11)
Design Notes
Estimated: at the AD4030-24's 2 MSPS turbo throughput, the AVDD current draw rises measurably versus 500 kSPS operation. Plan your EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ power budget for at least 25 mA on the analog rail (typically dominated by the internal reference buffer and Easy Drive input) and place a ferrite bead between AVDD and DVDD supplies to prevent the digital supply noise from coupling into the reference. A clean 5 V LDO such as LT3042 keeps the 109 dB dynamic range intact in real measurements. Estimated input values used: AVDD current ≈ 25 mA and dynamic range loss < 0.5 dB with proper LDOs.
Follow the AD4030-24 datasheet recommendation to partition ground into AGND and DGND joined only at the converter's GND balls. The EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ board uses this exact strategy; when porting to a custom PCB mirror the eval board's ground pattern as closely as possible. Treat the 64-ball CSP_BGA's center balls as the lowest-impedance return path, and keep all digital traces short and far from the AFE inputs to avoid coupling. Routing the Easy Drive bias-return traces under a solid ground plane minimizes leakage.
Common pitfalls when interpreting the EVAL-AD4030-24-KTZ data sheets: (1) using the internal reference instead of an external 5 V reference reduces dynamic range by 5-7 dB; (2) placing a buffer between the signal source and the Easy Drive input defeats the Easy Drive benefit - connect high-Z sources directly; (3) measuring harmonic distortion at full turbo sample rate requires oversampling and FFT, not just RMS - the eval board's example scripts in the ADI SDP show the correct analysis window. Verify that your FFT window length matches the sample rate to avoid spectral leakage artifacts.
Compliance Information
EVAL board is RoHS and lead-free compliant per the ADI product page; AEC-Q100 qualification status for the underlying AD4030-24 silicon is not separately listed in the verified data.
