Preface

SLAU640 – April 2019

This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADC12DJ5200RF evaluation
module (EVM). This user's guide discusses how to set up and configure the software and hardware, and
reviews various aspects of the program operation. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board,
evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the ADC12DJ5200RFEVM. In the following sections of
this document, the ADC12DJ5200RF evaluation board is referred to as the

EVM

and the

ADC12DJ5200RF device is referred to as the

ADC

device. This document also includes an electrical

schematic, printed circuit board (PCB) layout drawings, and a parts list for the EVM.
