Evaluates: MAX11253/MAX11254 MAX11253/MAX11254 Family Evaluation Kit General Description Features The MAX11253/MAX11254 evaluation kit (EV kit) pro- High-Speed USB Connector, FMC Connector, and vides a proven design to evaluate the MAX11253/ Pmod-Style Connector MAX11254 family of 16-bit/24-bit, 6-channel, 64ksps, 8MHz SPI Clock Capability through FMC Connector integrated PGA delta-sigma ADCs. The EV kit includes 8MHz SPI Clock Capability in Standalone Mode a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides communi- Various Sample Sizes and Sample Rates cation from the target device to the PC. The EV kit can operate in multiple modes: Collects Up to 1 Million Samples 1) Standalone Mode: in standalone mode, the EV (with FPGA Platform) kit is connected to the PC via a USB cable and Time Domain, Frequency Domain, and Histogram performs a subset of the complete EV kit functions Plotting with limitations for sample rate, sample size, and no Sync In and Sync Out for Coherent Sampling support for coherent sampling. (with FPGA Platform) 2) FPGA Mode: in FPGA mode, the EV kit is On-Board Input Buffers: MAX9632 and MAX44205 connected to an Avnet ZedBoard through a low- (Fully Differential) pin-count FMC connector. ZedBoard features a Xilinx Zynq -7000 SoC, which connects to the On-Board Voltage References (MAX6126 and MAX6070) PC through an Ethernet port, allowing the GUI to perform different operations with full control over Proven PCB Layout mezzanine card functions. The EV kit with FPGA Fully Assembled and Tested platform performs the complete suite of evaluation Windows XP-, Windows 7-, and Windows tests for the target IC. 8.1-Compatible Software 3) User-Supplied SPI Mode: In addition to the USB and FMC interfaces, the EV kit provides a 12-pin Pmod- Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet. style header for user-supplied SPI interface to con- nect the signals for SCLK, DIN, DOUT, and CNVST.
