Complete Evaluation & Demonstration Systems for ADI Data Converters

The ADC System Platforms team develops and supports fully integrated evaluation and demonstration systems built around ADI data-converter technologies.

Each platform delivers a validated system stack — from RF hardware to application software — enabling rapid performance evaluation and real-world system development.

What Makes a Platform?

Signal-Chain Hardware

ADI MxFE, SDR, MEMS and power solutions integrated into validated system architectures.

FPGA + Reference HDL

COTS FPGA platforms with production-grade HDL reference designs.

Platform Pilots

Each platform includes at least one Pilot — a fully documented system-level example of a representative use case–complete with all the key elements to implement that use case.

Pilots are more than just a demo! A Pilot provides:

  • Hardware + software setup

  • Stable drivers, APIs, and plug-ins

  • Example scripts in Python, MATLAB, or QIQ Systems

  • Documented workflows (setup → configure → run → analyze → modify)

  • A foundation for customer algorithm development

Pilots range from basic “boot and capture” examples to advanced demonstrations including:

  • RF beamforming

  • FMCW radar operation

  • Wideband streaming

  • JESD bring-up validation

ADC Catalyst

ADI operates dedicated ADC Catalyst Centers where customers can experience platforms and pilots live, receive training, and collaborate directly with ADI engineers.

We have a Catalyst centres in:

Catalyst Mission​

  1. Elevate System-Level Expertise
    Enable customers to solve real-world system integration challenges.

  2. Empower Customer Learning
    Provide hands-on access to ADI hardware, tools, and training.

  3. Drive Collaborative Innovation
    Co-develop system-level solutions with customers and ADI design teams.
