GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The 

EVAL-AD7761FMCZ

 evaluation kit features the 

AD7761

 

16-bit, 256 kSPS, analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A 7 V to 
9 V external bench top supply is regulated to 5 V and 3.3 V to 
supply the 

AD7761

 and support components. The 

EVAL-

AD7761FMCZ

 board connects to the USB port of the PC via 

a connection to the 

EVAL-SDP-CH1Z

 motherboard.  

The 

AD7761

 evaluation software fully configures the 

AD7761

 

device register functionality and provides dc and ac time 
domain analysis in the form of waveform graphs, histograms, 
and associated noise analysis for ADC performance evaluation. 
The 

EVAL-AD7761FMCZ

 is an evaluation board that allows the 

user to evaluate the features of the ADC. The user PC software 
executable controls the 

AD7761

 over a USB cable through the 

EVAL-SDP-CH1Z

 system demonstration platform (SDP). 

Full specifications for the 

AD7761

 are available in the product 

data sheet, which should be consulted in conjunction with this 
user guide when working with the evaluation board.
