High-Speed Converter Data Source/Capture Boards

Shorten design times by using evaluation boards that quickly showcase the features and performance of selected products. Each evaluation board mates to a data source/capture carrier board, to allow easily capture samples from an ADC or similarly source samples to a DAC. There are two types of data capture kits available, FPGA-based and FIFO-based. Refer to the charts below to determine which kit is the right one for you.

Analog Devices' pattern generators and high-speed DAC evaluation boards are designed and sold solely to support an efficient and thorough means by which to evaluate Analog Devices high speed DACs in a lab environment for a wide range of end applications. Any application or use of the pattern generators and/or high-speed DAC evaluation boards, other than specified above, will not be supported.
