| 11 | + |
| 12 | +Overview |
| 13 | +-------- |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +The EVAL-AD7746EBZ is an evaluation board specifically designed to |
| 16 | +facilitate the testing and development of applications using the AD7746 |
| 17 | +capacitance-to-digital converter. It features dedicated connectors for |
| 18 | +all capacitive input and excitation signals, flexible configuration |
| 19 | +options for interfacing via I²C, and supports both single-ended and |
| 20 | +differential capacitance measurements. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Applications |
| 23 | +------------ |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +- Pressure measurement |
| 26 | +- Position sensing |
| 27 | +- Level sensing |
| 28 | +- Flowmeters |
| 29 | +- Humidity sensing |
| 30 | +- Impurity detection |

| 32 | +Hardware Specifications |
| 33 | +----------------------- |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +Power Supply Requirements |
| 36 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +The EVAL-AD7746EBZ evaluation board primarily operates on a 5V power |
| 39 | +supply through a USB connector (J1), utilizing an on-board 3.3V |
| 40 | +regulator (ADP3303) to deliver the regulated voltage needed for optimal |
| 41 | +performance. Additionally, the board supports alternative power supply |
| 42 | +options of either 3V or 5V via an external input (J2), providing |
| 43 | +flexibility for various configurations. A power indicator LED (D1) is |
| 44 | +included to signal the presence of power when connected via USB, |
| 45 | +streamlining setup by combining power supply with data communication |
| 46 | +through the same USB interface, allowing efficient integration with |
| 47 | +PC-based applications such as the AD7746 Evaluation Software |
| 48 | + without needing an additional power source. |

| 50 | +On-board Connectors |
| 51 | +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | ++-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ |
| 54 | +| Connector Type | Description | |
| 55 | ++-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ |
| 56 | +| USB connector | Provides 5V power supply and | |
| 57 | +| | data communication interface via | |
| 58 | +| | J1. | |
| 59 | ++-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ |
| 60 | +| External Power Input | Alternative power supply option | |
| 61 | +| | of 3V or 5V via connector J2. | |
| 62 | ++-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ |
| 63 | +| SMB connectors (CIN1+, CIN1−, | Used for direct interfacing with | |
| 64 | +| EXCA, EXCB) | capacitive inputs and excitation | |
| 65 | +| | outputs, supporting capacitive | |
| 66 | +| | measurement. | |
| 67 | ++-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +No-OS Build Setup |
| 70 | +----------------- |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +Please see: `https://wiki.analog.com/resources/no-os/build` |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +No-OS Supported Examples |
| 75 | +------------------------ |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +The initialization data used in the example is taken out from the |
| 78 | +`Project Data Source Path <https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/no-OS/tree/main/projects/ad7746-ebz/src/app>`__ |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +IIO example |
| 81 | +~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +The IIO example code within the EVAL-AD7746EBZ project initializes an |
| 84 | +IIOD server on the AD7746 evaluation board, enabling it to connect with |
| 85 | +IIO clients. The setup is implemented through the IIO application, which |
| 86 | +initiates the AD7746 sensor for capacitive and temperature measurements. |
| 87 | +This configuration includes enabling capacitance channels and setting |
| 88 | +temperature read modes. Users can connect using an IIO client like the |
| 89 | +IIO Oscilloscope to manage device settings, such as offset, sampling |
| 90 | +frequency, and transform raw ADC data into voltage values. Communication |
| 91 | +is handled via a UART interface, ensuring continuous data interaction |
| 92 | +and flexible ADC usage. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +If you are not familiar with ADI IIO Application, please take a look at: |
| 95 | +`IIO No-OS <https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/no-os-software/iio>`__ |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +If you are not familiar with ADI IIO Oscilloscope Client, please take a |
| 98 | +look at: |
| 99 | +`IIO Oscilloscope <https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-software/iio_oscilloscope>`__ |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +To build the IIOD demo, add the following flag when invoking make. This |
| 102 | +will build the IIOD server and the IIO section of the driver: |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +.. code-block:: bash |
