GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EVA L -AD7380FMCZ and EVA L -AD7381FMCZ are full
featured evaluation boards that evaluate all features of the
AD7380 and AD7381 analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The
evaluation boards can be controlled by the EVA L -SDP-CH1Z via
the 160-way system demonstration platform (SDP) connector,
J4. The E VA L -SDP-CH1Z board controls the evaluation boards
through the USB port of a PC using the Analysis, Control,
Evaluation (ACE) software, which is available for download from
the ACE software page.
Complete specifications for the AD7380 and AD7381 are
provided in the AD7380/AD7381 data sheet. Consult these
specifications in conjunction with this user guide when using
the evaluation boards. Full details on the EVA L-SDP-CH1Z are
available on the SDP-H1 product page. The comprehensive
ACE user guide is available on the ACE software page.
Figure 1 shows the typical setup of the EVAL-AD7380FMCZ
board. The setup for the EVAL-AD7381FMCZ board is the
same as the EVAL-AD7380FMCZ setup.
