EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION
The EVA L -AD7605-4SDZ/E VA L -AD7606SDZ/EVA L -AD7606-
6SDZ/EVA L -AD7606-4SDZ/E VA L-AD7607SDZ/EVA L -
AD7608SDZ is a full-featured evaluation board that allows
users to easily evaluate the features of the AD7606/AD7606-6/
AD7606-4, AD7607, AD7608, and AD7605-4 analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs). The evaluation board can be controlled by
the E VAL -SDP-CB1Z SDP board via a 120-way SDP connector
(J2). The SDP board allows the evaluation board to be controlled
through the USB port of a PC using the AD7606 evaluation
software. The software is available for download from the AD7606/
AD7606-6/AD7606-4, AD7607, AD7608, and AD7605-4 product
pages or from the installer CD included in the evaluation board kit.
On-board components include an ADP7104ARDZ-5.0 5 V, low
noise low dropout regulator (LDO) and an ADR421 high
precision, band gap voltage reference.
Full data on the AD7606/AD7606-6/AD7606-4, AD7607,
AD7608, and AD7605-4 is available in the AD7606/AD7606-
6/AD7606-4, AD7607, AD7608, and AD7605-4 data sheets,
which should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide
when using the evaluation board. Full details on the EVA L -SDP-
CB1Z are available at the SDP board product page.
