PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The high speed ADC FIFO evaluation kit includes the latest
version of ADC Analyzer and a memory board to capture
blocks of digital data from Analog Devices' high speed analog-
to-digital converter (ADC) evaluation boards. This FIFO board
can be connected to a PC through a USB port and used with
ADC Analyzer to evaluate the performance of high speed ADCs
quickly. Users can view an FFT for a specific analog input and
encode rate and analyze SNR, SINAD, SFDR, and harmonic
information.
The evaluation kit is easy to set up. Additional equipment
needed includes an Analog Devices' high speed ADC evaluation
board, a power supply, a signal source, and a clock source. Once
the kit is connected and powered, the evaluation is enabled
instantly on the PC.
Two versions of the FIFO are available. The HSC-ADC-EVALA-
DC is used with dual ADCs and converters with demultiplexed
digital outputs. The HSC-ADC-EVALA-SC evaluation board is
used with single-channel ADCs. See Table 1, to choose the FIFO
appropriate for your high speed ADC evaluation board.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. Easy to set up—Connect the power supplies and signal
sources to the two evaluation boards. Then connect to the
PC and evaluate the performance instantly.
2. ADIsimADC – The software supports virtual ADC
evaluation using ADI proprietary behavioral modeling
technology. This allows rapid comparison between multiple
ADCs, with or without hardware evaluation boards.
3. USB Port Connection to PC—PC interface is a USB 2.0
connection (1.1 compatible) to PC. A USB cable is
provided in the kit.
4. 32 kB FIFO(s)—This FIFO(s) stores data from the ADC(s)
for processing. A pin compatible FIFO family is used for
easy upgrading.
5. Up to 133 MSPS encode rate on each channel—Single-
channel ADCs with encode rates up to 133 MSPS can be
used with the FIFO board. Dual and demultiplexed output
ADCs also can be used with the FIFO board (with clock
rates up to 133 MSPS on each output channel).
