1.0 Introduction
This Evaluation Board may be used to evaluate the
ADC16DV160. The ADC is a dual 16 bit analog to digital
converters that provides data at rates of up to 160 MHz.
The evaluation board is designed to be used with the
WaveVision5™ Data Capture Board which is connected
to a personal computer through a USB port and running
WaveVision5™ software, operating under Microsoft
Windows. The software can perform an FFT on the
captured data upon command and, in addition to a
frequency domain plot, shows dynamic performance in
the form of SNR, SINAD, THD SFDR and ENOB. The
latest WaveVision software is available through the
National Semiconductor website:
