LINK CONFIGURATION OPTIONS 

There are multiple link options that must be set correctly to 
select the appropriate operating setup before you begin using 
the 

EVAL-AD7405FMCZ

 evaluation board. The functions of 

these options are outlined in Table 2.  

SETUP CONDITIONS

 

Take care before

 

applying power and signals to the evaluation 

board to ensure that all link positions are as required by the 
operating mode. There are two modes in which to operate the 
evaluation board. The evaluation board can be operated in  
SDP-H1 controlled mode to be used with the 

EVAL-SDP-CH1Z

 

board, or the evaluation board can be used in standalone mode.  

The default position column of Table 2 shows the default 
positions in which the links are set when the evaluation board is 
packaged. When the board is shipped, it is set up to operate in 
SDP-H1 controlled mode, with the power supplied from the 

EVAL-SDP-CH1Z

 board and the analog supply rail (V

DD1

) being 

supplied via the on-board 

iso
