Evaluates: MAX11960 MAX11960 Evaluation Kit General Description Benefits and Features The MAX11960 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the FMC Connector for Interface devices, 20-bit, 1.0Msps, dual-channel, fully differential 75MHz SPI Clock Capability through FMC Connector SAR ADC with internal reference buffers. The EV kit Sync In and Sync Out for Coherent Sampling includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides communication from Avnets ZedBoard development On-Board Input Buffers (MAX9632) board for the Xilinx Zynq -7000 SoC. The ZedBoard On-Board +3.0V Reference Voltage (MAX6126) is not included with the EV kit and must be purchased Windows 7, and Windows 8/8.1-Compatible Software through Avnet. The ZedBoard communicates with the PC through an Ethernet cable using Windows 7, or Windows Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet. 8/8.1-compatible software. The EV kit comes with the MAX11960ETP+ installed.
