Prerequisites

What you need depends on what you are trying to do. As a minimum, you need to start out with:

Hardware prerequisites

ZedBoard

  1. The AD4110-1 evaluation board: EVAL-AD4110-1SDZ

  2. A Digilent ZedBoard (Zynq-7000 ARM/FPGA SoC development board)

  3. Jumper wires for PMOD connections

  4. An external ±15 V power supply for the evaluation board

  5. A micro-USB cable for UART console access

SDP-B (legacy)

  1. The AD4110-1 evaluation board: EVAL-AD4110-1SDZ

  2. The SDP-B controller board

    • Acts as the USB communication link between the PC and the evaluation board.

  3. A USB cable

  4. An external ±12 V to ±20 V power supply

    • A ±15 V supply is recommended and must be connected to J14 on the evaluation board.

    • GND must be connected to the GND pin on J14.

  5. A signal source appropriate for the desired demo mode

    • Voltage mode: ±10 V signal

    • Current mode: ±20 mA signal

    • Thermocouple: Type-K or similar thermocouple

    • RTD: 3-wire PT100 or similar RTD sensor

Software prerequisites

ZedBoard

The following must be available before programming the ZedBoard:

SDP-B (legacy)

The following must be installed on a PC running Windows before connecting the evaluation board:

  1. AD4110-1 evaluation software

    • Provides the graphical interface for configuring and evaluating the device.

    • Must be installed before connecting the SDP-B board to the PC.

  2. SDP-B board drivers (ADI SDP Drivers)

    • Installed as part of the evaluation software setup.

    • The PC must be restarted after driver installation.

Refer to SDP-B Quick Start for step-by-step installation instructions.

Mbed IIO firmware (SDP-K1)

  1. The AD4110-1 evaluation board: EVAL-AD4110-1SDZ

  2. An SDP-K1 controller board

  3. A USB cable for connecting SDP-K1 to the PC

  4. On the host PC:

    • Keil Studio for building and flashing the firmware

    • Libiio Windows installer

    • IIO Oscilloscope Windows installer

Note

ADI does not offer FPGA carrier boards or SDP-K1 boards for sale or loan; obtaining the hardware is the normal part of development and evaluation.
