The EVAL-AD7173-8SDZ evaluation kit features the AD7173-8, a 24-bit, 31.25 kSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with integrated analog input buffers, on-board power supply regulation, and an external amplifier section for amplifier evaluation. A 7 V to 9 V ac-to-dc adapter is regulated to 5 V and 3.3 V; this supplies the AD7173-8 and support components. The EVAL-AD7173-8SDZ board connects to a USB port via the system demonstration platform (SDP) EVAL-SDP-CB1Z (SDP-B) controller board.
The AD717x Eval+ software fully configures the AD7173-8 device functionality via a user accessible register interface and provides dc time domain analysis in the form of waveform graphs, histograms, and associated noise analysis for ADC performance evaluation.
