AMS Bring-up with the AMS101 Evaluation Card
The Xilinx® 7 series FPGAs each feature a 1 MSPS, 12-bit, analog-to-digital converter built
into the FPGA for everything from simple analog monitoring to more signal processing
intensive tasks like linearization, calibration, oversampling and filtering. The
Kintex-7 FPGA KC705 evaluation kit includes the hardware and software to evaluate this
feature and determine its usefulness in the user’s end system.
For evaluation of Xilinx Analog Mixed Signal (AMS) capability, the following items from
your kit are needed:
• Access to XADC header in your FPGA base board
• AMS101 evaluation card (Figure 7)
• FPGA design and software files downloaded from the KC705 support website
• USB/UART drivers from Silicon Labs
•AMS Evaluator tool
