In order to test the 4-channel, 16-bit, isolated AFE reference design board, Analog Devices has developed a self-contained evaluation system that is easy to set up and run. The 4 channel analog front end evaluation system requires only a PC. Included in the evaluation system is the USB to SPI adapter board, the 4 channel AFE, the USB powered signal generator, the USB cables and wire clips, and the firmware GUI to control and read input signals to the AFE board. The set up time is short to get an engineer up and running. As an alternative, for customers who have Xilinx’s FPGA development kits like the Nexys™ 3 and ZedBoard™ platform, the AFE reference board has a PMOD interface connector and the associated project files.
