GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The EVAL-AD3552RFMCZ is an evaluation board for the AD3552R,

a dual-channel, 16-bit fast precision digital-to-analog converter

(DAC). Each channel of the AD3552R is equipped with a differ-

ent transimpedance amplifier: Channel 0 has a fast amplifier that

achieves the optimal dynamic performance and Channel 1 has a

precision amplifier that guarantees the optimal DC precision over

temperature.

The board allows testing all the output ranges of the DAC, wave-

form generation, power supply, and reference options.

The EVAL-AD3552RFMCZ interfaces to the USB port of a PC

via a system demonstration platform (SDP-H1 board). It can also

be connected to the ZedBoard or a different controller board

using the pin header connector at position P5. Refer to the

EVAL-AD3552RFMCZ Wiki page

AD3552RFMCZ with the ZedBoard.

This user guide covers the details of the configuration and opera-

tion of the EVAL-AD3552RFMCZ board and the associated ACE

plugin. Refer to the AD3552R data sheet for additional information

on the DAC operation.
