Impedence spectroscopy

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: ADUCM355

Hello everyone!

I am working with the EVAL-ADuCM355 board to perform impedance spectroscopy. At the moment, I am able to obtain correct measurements only in a relatively narrow band around 20–30 kHz. Below this range and above it, the measured impedance appears to saturate to the value of the calibration resistor (Rcal = 200 Ω), while the DUT does not seem to be correctly resolved. In my firmware, I am using:

-HFOSC set to 32 MHz for the AFE ADCRate = ADCRATE_1P6MHZ,

-ADCSinc3Osr = ADCSINC3OSR_4,

-DFTNUM = 8192, DFTSRC = DFTSRC_SINC3, Hann window enabled

-HSTIA: RTIA = 5 kΩ, CTIA ≈ 16 pF

-AFE power mode: AD5940_AFEPwrBW(AFEPWR_HP, AFEBW_250KHZ)

Could you please advise if there are additional configuration steps or recommended settings to obtain reliable impedance measurements outside the 20-30 kHz range, especially towards higher frequencies? If useful, I can share snippets of my initialisation code. Thank you very much in advance for your support!
