Evaluation Kits
Evluate:34/MAX125
General Description
Features
The MAX12553/MAX12554/MAX12555 evaluation kits (EV
kits) are fully assembled and tested PCBs that contain all
the components necessary to evaluate the performance
of this family of 14-bit, analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs). These ADCs accept differential or single-ended
analog inputs, however, the EV kits allow for evaluation
with either type of signal from one single-ended analog-
signal source. The digital outputs produced by the ADCs
are captured easily with a user-provided high-speed logic
analyzer or data-acquisition system. The EV kits operate
from a 1.8V and a 3.3V power supply and include circuit-
ry that generates a low-jitter clock signal from an AC
signal provided by the user.
