GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EVAL-AD4129-8WARDZ evaluation kit features the AD4129-8 16-bit, ultra-low power, low noise analog-to-digital converter (ADC).

The EVAL-AD4129-8WARDZ board connects to the USB port of the PC by connecting to the EVAL-SDP-CK1Z motherboard. Regulate a 5 V USB supply through the PC to 3.3 V to supply the AD4129-8 and support all necessary components.

The AD4129-8 ACE Plugin fully configures the AD4129-8 device register functionality and provides DC time domain analysis as waveform graphs, histograms, and associated noise analysis for ADC performance evaluation.

The EVAL-AD4129-8WARDZ is an evaluation board that evaluates the features of the ADC. The user PC software executable controls the AD4129-8 over the USB through the EVAL-SDP-CK1Z System Demonstration Platform (SDP) board.

The product data sheet provides the full specifications of the AD4129-8. Consult the AD4129-8 data sheet in conjunction with this user guide when working with the EVAL-AD4129-8WARDZ evaluation board.
