Analog Devices Inc. EVAL-AD9257 Evaluation Board
Analog Devices EVAL-AD9257 Evaluation Board is an evaluation board designed for the AD9257 octal, 14‑bit analog‑to‑digital converter (ADC). The board includes all required support circuitry to operate the device across the full range of modes and configurations. The ADI EVAL-AD9257 is intended to connect directly to the HSC‑ADC‑EVALCZ data capture card, enabling users to collect and download conversion data for detailed analysis. Device operation and data capture are managed through the Visual Analog software, which provides an intuitive graphical interface for configuring the hardware and analyzing results. In addition, the board is compatible with the SPI Controller software, allowing users to access and control the AD9257’s SPI‑programmable features.
