The AMC7820 is a complete analog monitoring and control unit, which includes an 8-channel, 12-bit Analog-to-Digital (A/D) converter, three 12-bit Digital-to-Analog (D/A) converters, nine operational amplifiers, an internal 2.5V reference, and an SPI™ serial interface. The evaluation board for this multifunction device, the AMC7820-EVM, is designed to ease the digital interface to the AMC7820 by connecting to a personal computer running easy-to-use software which allows total access to the AMC7820’s various control functions. A large prototype area on the board provides space to connect circuitry to the AMC7820 and connections to configure the internal components.
