EVALUATION TOOLS FOR THE AD7606 8 Channel 16-Bit DAS with BiPolar Input Simultaneous Sampling SAR ADC (EVAL-AD7606EDZ) Using EVAL-CED1Z

Introduction

The AD7606 is a 16 bit, simultaneous sampling analog-to-digital data acquisition system (DAS) with eight channels. Each part contains analog input clamp protection, a second-order antialiasing filter, track-and-hold amplifiers, a 16 bit charge redistribution successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a flexible digital filter, a 2.5V reference and reference buffer, and high speed serial and parallel interfaces.

The evaluation tools for the AD7606 incorporate:

• EVAL-AD7606EDZ
• EVAL-CED1Z Converter Evaluation and Development board

The combination of the EVAL-AD7606EDZ board, software coupled with EVAL-CED1Z allows the user to fully evaluate the AD7606. This analysis includes, AC (FFT) and DC (linearity, waveform and histogram plots) analysis. See below for the relevant documentation for the system including technical notes and software downloads.

Converter Evaluation and Development Board (EVAL-CED1Z)

The evaluation board for the AD7606 is controlled by the CED1Z (Converter Evaluation and Development Board) (pdf, 1.43 MB).

Please see the CED1Z homepage for more details.
