GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The 

EVAL-AD7124-4SDZ

 evaluation kit features the 

AD7124-4

 

24-bit, low power, low noise analog-to-digital converter (ADC).  
A 7 V to 9 V external supply is regulated to 3.3 V to supply the 

AD7124-4

 and to support all necessary components. The 

EVAL-AD7124-4SDZ

 board connects to the USB port of the 

PC via the connection to the 

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

 motherboard.  

The 

AD7124-4 EVAL+ Software

 fully configures the 

AD7124-4

 

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

EVAL-AD7124-4SDZ

 is an evaluation board that allows the 

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

AD7124-4

 over the USB through the 

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

 System Demonstration Platform (SDP) 

board. 
Full specifications on the 

AD7124-4

 are available in the product 

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