AMC7834EVM Hardware Setup
This section provides the overall system setup for the EVM. A personal computer (PC) runs software that
communicates with the SDM-USB-DIG platform, which generates the power and digital signals used to
communicate with the EVM board. An op24-V wall supply can provide power through the J7
connector to provide power to on-board power regulators (LDOs) that regulate the analog and digital
supplies. By default, on-board connectors are included on the EVM board for external supplies.

Theory of Operation for AMC7834 Hardware
A block diagram of the AMC7834EVM test board is displayed in
. The EVM board provides test
points and connections for the supplies, internal reference, ground connections, SPI inputs, ADC inputs,
current sense inputs, external temp sensing diodes, and analog outputs of the DAC.
