AMS Bring-up with the AMS101 Evaluation Card
Introduction
The Artix-7 XC7A200T FPGA features two 1 Mega-samples per second (MSPS), 12-bit,
Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) built into the device for a range of applications
including simple analog monitoring to more signal processing-intensive tasks such as
linearization, calibration, oversampling, and filtering. The AC701 Evaluation Kit includes
the hardware and software to evaluate the ADC feature. The AC701 Evaluation Kit also
includes voltage, current and power monitoring for nine of the analog power supplies on
the board. For evaluation of Xilinx Analog Mixed Signal (AMS) capability, these items in
the kit are needed:
• Access to the AC701 board XADC header (see Figure 2)
• AMS101 evaluation card (see Figure 10 and Table 1)
• FPGA design and software files:
