GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EVAL-AD4858FMCZ is designed to demonstrate the perform-
ance of the AD4858 and provide access to many included configu-
ration options that are accessed via an easy to use ACE plug-in
graphical interface. The AD4858 is a fully buffered, 8-channel simul-
taneous sampling, 20-bit, 1 MSPS data acquisition system (DAS)
with differential, wide common mode range inputs.
The EVAL-AD4858FMCZ on-board components include also the
following:
The
LTC6655
high precision, low drift, 4.096 V voltage reference
(not used by default)
The LT1761, low noise, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 5 V low dropouts
(LDOs)
The
LT8330
low quiescent current (I
For full details on the AD4858, see the AD4858 data sheet, which
must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using
the EVAL-AD4858FMCZ.
