This chapter gives a general overview of the AMC7823 evaluation module (EVM) and describes some of
the factors that must be considered in using this module.
This EVM features the AMC7823 analog monitoring and control circuit device. The AMC7823 EVM is a
simple evaluation module designed for a quick and easy way to evaluate the functionality and
performance of the 12-bit resolution AMC device. The built-in ADC features an eight-channel analog input
with 200 ksps sample rate. The AMC7823 also consists of eight independent 12-bit resolution DACs with
2-
µ
s settling times. Although the AMC7823 has a built-in internal band-gap reference that is software
selectable between 1.25 V and 2.5 V, an external reference source is provided. The internal 1.25-V
reference voltage is the default reference on power up, so the reference voltage should be set to the
desired source and level, if necessary.
