EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE 

OVERVIEW 

To evaluate the 

ADE7903

, connect the evaluation board and the 

SDP-B board together (see Figure 1). The 

EVAL-ADE7903EBZ

 

evaluation board, which is populated with one 

ADE7903

 ADC, 

can be used for evaluation of the standalone ADC or as a possible 
single-phase meter implementation example (see Figure 3).  

The 

EVAL-ADE7903EBZ

 evaluation board is connected to the 

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

 SDP-B Blackfin® board using the 120-pin 

connector. Be sure to order 

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

 when ordering 

the 

EVAL-ADE7903EBZ

 evaluation kit; the evaluation kit and 

the SDP-B board are purchased and packaged separately, but 
must be used together. 

The SDP-B board consists of a Blackfin 

ADSP-BF527

 micro-

controller that handles all the communications from the PC 
to the 

ADE7903

 device populating the evaluation board (see 

Figure 2).
