 +====== Overview ======
 +
 +This document presents the steps to setup an environment for using the **[[adi>AD5755|EVAL-AD5755SDZ]]** evaluation board together with the Xilinx KC705 FPGA board, the Xilinx Embedded Development Kit (EDK) and the [[http://micrium.com/page/products/tools/probe|Micrium µC-Probe]] run-time monitoring tool. Below is presented a picture of the EVAL-AD5755SDZ Evaluation Board with the Xilinx KC705 board.

 +
 +For component evaluation and performance purposes, as opposed to quick prototyping, the user is directed to Analog Devices [[/resources/eval/sdp|System Demonstration Platform]] (**SDP**). The **SDP** consists of a:
 +  * a controller board, like the **[[resources/eval/sdp/sdp-b|EVAL-SDP-CB1Z]] (SDP-B)**
 +  * a compatible Analog Devices SDP [[adi>sdp#exallist|product evaluation board]]
 +  * corresponding PC software
 +The EVAL-SDP-CB1Z controller board is part of Analog Devices SDP providing USB 2.0 high-speed connectivity to a PC computer running specific component evaluation software.  Each SDP evaluation daughter board includes the necessary installation files needed for this performance testing. It's expected that the analog performance on the two platforms may differ.

 +
 +The [[adi>AD5755]] is a quad, voltage and current output DAC that operates with a power supply range from -26.4 V to +33 V. On-chip dynamic power control minimizes package power dissipation in current mode. This is achieved by regulating the voltage on the output driver from 7.4 V to 29.5 V using a dc-to-dc boost converter optimized for minimum on chip power dissipation. For AD5755-1, each channel has a corresponding CHART pin so that HART signals can be coupled onto the current output.
 +
 +The **EVAL-AD5755SDZ** evaluation board is designed to help customers quickly prototype new AD5755 circuits and reduce design time. To power the AD5755SDZ evaluation board supply +/-15V between the AVSS (-15V) and AVDD (+15V) inputs for the analog supply and 5V between PGND(0V) and AVCC(+5V) as DC-to-DC supply voltage.

 +
 +===== Demonstration Project User Interface =====
 +
 +The following figure presents the **uC-Probe** interface that can be used for monitoring and controlling the operation of the **EVAL-AD5755SDZ** evaluation board.
 +
 +{{ :resources:fpga:altera:bemicro:ad5755_interface.png?700 }}
 +
 +**Section A** is used to activate the board and monitor activity. The communication with the board is activated / deactivated by toggling the **//ON/OFF//** switch. The **//Activity//** LED turns green when the communication is active. If the **//ON/OFF//** switch is set to **//ON//** and the **//Activity//** LED is **//BLACK//** it means that there is a communication problem with the board.
