+EVAL-AD9265
+===============================================================================
+
+16-Bit, 125 MSPS/105 MSPS/80 MSPS, 1.8 V Analog-to-Digital Converter.
+
+.. image:: images/eval-ad9265.png
+   :width: 400
+
+Overview
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The :adi:`EVAL-AD9265` is a full-featured evaluation board for the
+:adi:`AD9265`, a 16-bit, 125 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
+It connects to an FPGA carrier via the FMC LPC connector, enabling data
+capture and analysis using standard ADI software tools.
+
+The :adi:`AD9265` is designed to support communications applications where
+high performance combined with low cost, small size, and versatility is
+desired. The ADC core features a multistage, differential pipelined
+architecture with integrated output error correction logic to provide 16-bit
+accuracy at 125 MSPS data rates and guarantees no missing codes over the full
+operating temperature range. The AD9265 is available in a Pb-free, 48-lead
+LFCSP and is specified over the industrial temperature range of −40°C to
++85°C.
+
+Features:
+
+- SNR = 79.0 dBFS @ 70 MHz and 125 MSPS
+- SFDR = 93 dBc @ 70 MHz and 125 MSPS
+- Low power: 373 mW @ 125 MSPS
+- 1.8 V analog supply operation
+- 1.8 V CMOS or LVDS output supply
+- Integer 1-to-8 input clock divider
+- IF sampling frequencies to 300 MHz
+- −154.3 dBm/Hz small signal input noise with 200 Ω input impedance @ 70 MHz and 125 MSPS
+- Optional on-chip dither for improved SFDR with low power input signals
+- Programmable internal ADC voltage reference
+- Integrated ADC sample-and-hold inputs
+- Flexible analog input range: 1 V p-p to 2 V p-p
+- Differential analog inputs with 650 MHz bandwidth
+- ADC clock duty cycle stabilizer
+- Serial port control (SPI)
+- User-configurable, built-in self-test (BIST) capability
+- Energy-saving power-down modes
+- Pin-compatible with the AD9255 (14-bit)
+
+Applications:
+
+- Multimode digital receivers (3G): GSM, EDGE, W-CDMA, LTE, CDMA2000, WiMAX, TD-SCDMA
+- Smart antenna systems
+- General-purpose software radios
+- Broadband data applications
+- Ultrasound equipment

+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:`AD9265`, we recommend using the
+:adi:`EVAL-AD9265` evaluation board.

+
+The :adi:`EVAL-AD9265` is, by definition, a "FPGA mezzanine card" (FMC);
+that means it needs a carrier to plug into.
