GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EVAL-AD4052-ARDZ enables quick and easy evaluation of
the performance and features of the AD4052. The AD4052 is a
compact, low power, 16-bit Easy Drive successive approximation
register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The primary controller board for the EVAL-AD4052-ARDZ is the
SDP-K1. The EVAL-AD4052-ARDZ conforms to the Arduino
Shield mechanical and electrical standards to interface with the
SDP-K1, in addition to various software development kits from other
manufacturers.
The AD4052 evaluation solution includes the AD4052 industrial
input and output (IIO) firmware application drivers for device con-
figuration and ADC data capture and the AD4052 ACE plugin
graphical user interface (GUI) for performance evaluation.
