EVALUATION BOARD
SETTING UP THE EVALUATION BOARD
Follow these steps to set up the AD7843/AD7873 evaluation
board:
Install the evaluation software (CD) before connecting
the board.
Plug the USB connector from the USB port on your PC
into the mini-USB socket on the evaluation board. The
power indicator LED on the board should turn on.
Ensure that all switches and links are in their default
positions.
Start the AD7843/AD7873 evaluation software.
EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION
The AD7843/AD7873 evaluation board allows the user to evaluate
all features of the AD7843 and AD7873. The board is powered via
the USB connection to the host PC. The evaluation software
allows data to be read from and written to the
AD7843/AD7873. Install the evaluation software on the PC before
plugging in the board.
The evaluation board contains the following main components,
which are also shown in the functional block diagram (see
Figure 1):
