Hey there,

I just started using the EVAL-AD7616 with the SDP-B controller (EVAL-SDP-CB1Z) on Windows PC. I need to convert 24 analog channels, so I'm planning to use 2x AD7616 to have up to 32 channels.

I would like to use a single master board (i.e., 1x SDP-B) to control at the same time 2x EVAL-AD7616 and acquire data via the evaluation software. First, can I do this? I understand that connectors A and B of the SDP-B share some pins, and there are 3 SPI interfaces. Can I connect 2x EVAL-AD7616 to the same SDP-B evaluation board? Can the software control the two of them?

Hope my questions are clear!

Best,

MPE
