Quick start

The quick start guides provide step-by-step instructions for an initial system setup of the EVAL-AD4110-1SDZ evaluation board on the supported platforms. Two paths are available: a Windows-based setup using the SDP-B controller board and the AD4110-1 evaluation software, and an FPGA-based setup using the Digilent ZedBoard.

Supported carriers

The EVAL-AD4110-1SDZ connects to carrier boards via the 120-pin SDP connector (J1) or the SPI PMOD connector (J2).

Carrier board	Connector	Interface
SDP-B	J1 (120-pin SDP)	USB to PC (Windows evaluation software)
Digilent ZedBoard	J2 (SPI PMOD)	PMOD (HDL reference design, No-OS)
SDP-K1	Arduino headers	UART to PC (Mbed IIO firmware)

Supported environments

Carrier board	No-OS	Eval software
SDP-B	—	Yes
ZedBoard	Yes	—
SDP-K1	Yes (Mbed IIO)	—

Hardware setup

EVAL-AD4110-1SDZ + SDP-B

The evaluation board connects to the SDP-B controller board via the 120-pin connector (J1). Secure the two boards together using the plastic screws and washers provided in the evaluation board kit. Connect ±15 V and GND to J14 on the evaluation board. Connect the SDP-B board to the PC using the USB cable.

EVAL-AD4110-1SDZ + ZedBoard

The evaluation board connects to the ZedBoard via the SPI PMOD connector (J2) on the evaluation board and the PMOD headers on the ZedBoard. Connect the SPI signals using individual jumper wires as described in ZedBoard Quick Start.
