Evaluates: MAX11214/MAX11216
MAX1121X Family Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features and Benefits
● High-Speed USB, FMC Connector, and PMOD
The evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX1121X
family of 24-bit, 64ksps delta-sigma ADCs with integrated
PGA. The EV kit includes a graphical user interface (GUI)
that provides communication from the target device to the
PC. The EV kit can operate in multiple modes:
Connector
● 5MHz SPI Interface
● Various Sample Sizes and Sample Rates
●
Collects Up to 1 Million Samples (with FPGA Platform)
1) Standalone Mode: In “Standalone” mode, the EV
kit is connected to the PC through a USB cable and
performs a subset of the complete EV kit functions
with limitation for sample rate and size.
● Time Domain, Frequency Domain, and Histogram
Plotting
● Save Plots as jpg, bmp or csv
2) FPGA Mode: In “FPGA” mode, the EV kit is con-
● Sync In and Sync Out for Coherent Sampling
nected to an Avnet ZedBoard™ through a low-pin-
(with FPGA Platform)
®
count FMC connector. ZedBoard features a Xilinx
● On-Board DAC (MAX542) for DC Signal-Level
®
Zynq -7000 SoC that connects to the PC through an
Generation
Ethernet port, which allows the GUI to perform differ-
ent operations with full control over mezzanine card
functions. The EV kit with FPGA platform performs
the complete suite of evaluation tests for the target IC
● On-Board Voltage Reference (MAX6126)
● Proven PCB Layout
● Fully Assembled and Tested
3) User-Supplied SPI Mode: In addition to the USB
and FMC interfaces, the EV kit provides two 12-pin
PMOD-style headers for user-supplied SPI interface,
to connect the signals for RDYB, SCLK, DIN, DOUT,
and CSB.
● Windows XP-, Windows 7-, and Windows
8.1-Compatible Software
● Savable ADC Configurations
®
®
The EV kit includes Windows XP -, Windows 7 and
Windows 8.1-compatible software to exercise the features
of the IC. The EV kit GUI allows different sample sizes,
adjustable sampling rates, on-board or external reference
options, and graphing software that includes the FFT and
histogram of the sampled signals with the ability to save
plots in .jpg or .csv formats.

The ZedBoard board accepts a +12V AC-DC wall adapter.
The EV kit can be powered by the ZedBoard or by a local
12V supply. The EV kit has on-board transformers and
digital isolators to separate the IC from the ZedBoard/
on-board processor.
