+
+Overview
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The :adi:`AD9694-500EBZ` is a full-featured evaluation board for the
+:adi:`AD9694`, a quad, 14-bit, 500 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a
+JESD204B serial interface. The device is organized as two dual ADC pairs (Pair
+AB and Pair CD).
+
+The board provides all support circuitry required to operate the AD9694 in its
+various modes and configurations. It connects to an FPGA carrier board running
+ADI Kuiper Linux with IIO-based software tools.
+
+Features:
+
+- JESD204B coded serial digital outputs with support for lane rates up to 15
+  Gbps/lane
+- Wide full-power bandwidth supports IF sampling of signals up to 1.4 GHz
+- Four integrated wideband decimation filters and NCO blocks supporting
+  multiband receivers
+- Buffered inputs ease filter design and implementation
+- Programmable fast overrange detection and signal monitoring
+- On-chip temperature diode for system thermal management
+
+Applications:
+
+- Multi-band, multi-mode receivers
+- Radar and electronic warfare
+- Instrumentation and test equipment
+- Software-defined radio (SDR)

+Recommendations
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+People who follow the flow that is outlined, have a much better experience with
+things. However, like many things, documentation is never as complete as it
+should be. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on our :ref:`EngineerZone
+forums <help-and-support>`, but before that, please make sure you read our
+documentation thoroughly.
+
+To better understand the :adi:`AD9694`, we recommend using the
+:adi:`AD9694-500EBZ` evaluation board.

+Prerequisites
+===============================================================================
+
+What you need, depends on what you are trying to do. As a minimum, you need to
+start out with:
+
+Hardware prerequisites
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+#. The AD9694-based evaluation board: :adi:`AD9694-500EBZ <AD9694>`
+#. An FPGA carrier platform. Our recommended one can be found :ref:`here <ad9694
+   carriers>`.
+
+#. Some way to interact with the FPGA platform:
+
+   - Micro-USB cable for UART console
+   - LAN cable (Ethernet) for SSH or IIO applications
+   - HDMI or DisplayPort monitor (Optional)
+   - USB Keyboard (Optional)
+   - USB Mouse (Optional)
+
+#. A clock source, any low-noise clock generator with multiple outputs can be
+   used. The following items are needed only if using the
+   :adi:`AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ <AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ>`:
+
+   - :adi:`AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ <AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ>` clock source board
+     (Optional)
+   - Serial port module for the AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ serial interface (Optional)
+   - 20-pin GPIO ribbon cable for serial communication between the ZCU102 and
+     the AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ, connected pin-to-pin, all 20 pins (Optional)
+   - 4x SMA 50 Ohm terminators for unused AD-SYNCHRONA14-EBZ output channels
+     (Optional)
+
+#. SMA cables (for connections between the clock source, AD9694, and signal
+   generator)
+#. Low phase noise signal generator with antialiasing filter (analog input
+   source)
+#. ZCU102 power supply (12 V)
+#. SD card with at least 16 GB of memory
+
+Software prerequisites
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+The following software is needed on the host PC:
+
+.. note::
+
+   Pre-built files for this reference design are not yet available. The files
+   must be built manually using the links above. Official release artifacts will
+   be provided here once available. For now, check: :external+hdl:ref:`Build an
+   HDL project <build_hdl>` and :ref:`Build the Linux kernel <linux-kernel>`
+
+#. SD card 16 GB imaged with :external+kuiper:doc:`Kuiper <index>` (check out
+   that guide on how to do it, then come back here).
+#. A UART terminal (PuTTY/Tera Term/Minicom), 115200 baud, 8N1.
+#. :ref:`iio-oscilloscope` for data visualization.
+
+For capturing and visualizing data from the device:
+
+#. :external+scopy:doc:`Scopy <index>` v2.0 or later (must contain the IIO
+   plugin)
+#. :doc:`IIO Oscilloscope </software/iio-oscilloscope/index>`, a graphical tool
+   for capturing and visualizing IIO device data
+
+.. note::
+
+   :adi:`ADI <>` does not offer FPGA carrier platforms for sale or loan; getting
+   one yourself is the normal part of development or evaluation.
