T he AD73360(L) evaluation board kit comes with the
evaluation board for the required part, AD73360 or
AD73360L and software which allows the user to program
the AD73360(L) and read back samples using a PC. T he
software is provide on a CD ROM and this also contains a
data sheet, this technical note and some DSP example
code. T he user needs to supply a Centronics printer port
cable and a 6V to 12V DC power supply.

When the CD ROM is inserted into the PCs drive the
install routine automatically starts. T his allows the user to
select which components to install i.e. data sheet, techni-
cal note, application software etc. When using the software
to control the evaluation board it is important the follow-
ing steps are completed in order.
T his T echnical Note describes the evaluation board for
the both AD73360 and the AD73360L six input-channel
simultaneous sampling sigma-delta A/D converters. T he
AD73360L is a 3V only version of the AD73360. Full
data on the both parts is available in the relevant data
sheet available from Analog Devices and should be con-
sulted in conjunction with this T echnical Note when using
the Evaluation Board.
1. T he evaluation board should be powered up with the
printer port cable disconnected.
2. T he software should be loaded.
T he evaluation board allows a user to exercise all the
functions of the AD73360(L). T he analog inputs are buff-
ered by op-amps which may be configured for ac- or dc-
coupling operation. T he evaluation board contains an
ADSP2185L digital signal processor which can be pro-
grammed to control and read data from the AD73360(L).
T he evaluation board comes with software which can be
run on the users PC allowing programs to be downloaded
and data to be uploaded from the evaluation board. Sev-
eral example programs are provided which demoonstrate
the capabilities of the AD73360(L).
3. T he printer port cable can then be connected and the
PC should be able to communicate with the evaluation
board.
