HIGH SPEED ADC EVALUATION BOARDS

High Speed ADC Evaluation Boards

Shorten design times by using evaluation boards that quickly evaluate the features and performance of selected products. These data capture kits enable you to take blocks of digital data from Analog Devices' high-speed ADC evaluation boards. There are two types of data capture kits available, FPGA-based and FIFO-based. Refer to the chart below to determine which data capture kit is required to evaluate an ADC of interest.

HSC-ADC-EVALCZ: FPGA-BASED DATA CAPTURE KIT

The HSC-ADC-EVALCZ high speed converter evaluation platform uses an FPGA based buffer memory board to capture blocks of digital data from the Analog Devices high speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) evaluation boards. The board is connected to the PC through a USB port and is used with VisualAnalog® to quickly evaluate the performance of high speed ADCs. The evaluation kit is easy to set up. Additional equipment needed includes an Analog Devices high speed ADC evaluation board, a signal source, and a clock source. Once the kit is connected and powered, the evaluation is enabled instantly on the PC.

EXP Analog Devices Adaptor Module
Avnet Electronics Marketing has partnered with Analog Devices to create an EXP adaptor module. This module allows users to connect any EXP-enabled FPGA baseboards to many of our high speed ADC evaluation boards. The EXP adaptor module connects to all ADC evaluation boards that are compatible with HSC-ADC-EVALB-DCZ. Customers who use the EXP adaptor module can use any EXP-enabled FPGA baseboard to replace HSC-ADC-EVALB-DCZ.
