EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION
The EVAL-AD7606C18FMCZ is a fully featured evaluation
board that allows users to evaluate the features of the AD7606C-18
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The EVAL-AD7606C18FMCZ
is controlled by the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z (SDP-H1) system
demonstration platform (SDP). The SDP-H1 controls the
EVAL-AD7606C18FMCZ through the USB port of a PC using
the Analysis | Control | Evaluation (ACE) software, which is
available to download from the ACE software page or the
AD7606C-18 product page.
The on-board components include the ADP7118 5 V and 3.3 V
low noise, low dropout (LDO) linear regulators and an
ADR4525 high precision, band gap voltage reference.
Figure 1 shows the evaluation board photograph. The printed
model number on the evaluation board is EVAL-AD7606CFMCZ.
For full details on the AD7606C-18, see the AD7606C-18 data
