AMS101 Evaluation Card Quick Start
To facilitate easy evaluation of key performance metrics of the XADC and AMS
technology, Xilinx developed the AMS evaluation platform for all 7 series FPGA and
Zynq-7000 AP SoC base boards. The AMS evaluation platform
ADC performance metrics to be observed and evaluated. The remainder of this document
describes in detail the hardware and software that comprise the AMS evaluation platform.
