3 Pins for external analog input signals.
4 Digital I/O level translators.
5 16-bit DAC to set analog test voltage.
6 Reference buffer for DAC.
Verify the USB-UART Silicon Labs drivers are installed as described in
Silicon Labs UART Device Driver., page
Install the National Instruments LabVIEW run-time engine on the host PC:
a. Go to the AC701 Evaluation Kit Documentation
b. Under the Documentation heading, click on the appropriate Vivado software
version. This will expand a list of available document types.
c. Click on Targeted Reference Designs. This will open a list of files and
documents.
d. Click on 7 Series FPGA and Zynq-7000 AP SoC AMS Evaluator Installer for
AMS Targeted Reference Design to download ams101_gui_installer.zip.
e. Unzip the files to a temporary directory and double-click setup.exe to install the
LabVIEW run-time engine and AMS Evaluator software.
f. After installation is complete, restart the host PC.
Extract the AMS design files before
a. Go to the AC701 Evaluation Kit Documentation
b. Under the Documentation heading, click on the appropriate Vivado software
version. This will expand a list of available document types.
c. Click on Targeted Reference Designs. This will open a list of files and
documents.
d. Click on AMS Targeted Reference Design for Artix-7 FPGA AC701 Evaluation
Kit (RDF0278) to download rdf0278-ams101-ac701-trd.zip.
e. Unzip the files to a working directory on the host computer.
Power off the AC701 board, connect the AMS101 card, and re-apply power to the
hardware.
a. Connect the AMS101 evaluation card to the AC701 board, making sure the notch
on the XADC header lines up correctly with the connector on the AMS101
evaluation card.
Implement the design to the Artix-7 XC7A200T-2 FB676 FPGA from the AC701 AMS
design file xadc_eval_design_ac701_v1_0 previously downloaded.
a. Open Vivado Design Suite. Here is one example path:
Start menu/Xilinx Design Tools/Vivado 2013.3
b. Create a Vivado Project.
