Analog Interface
For maximum flexibility, the ADS1246EVM is designed for easy interfacing to multiple analog sources.
Samtec part numbers SSW-110-22-F-D-VS-K and TSM-110-01-T-DV-P provide a convenient 10-pin,
dual-row, header/socket combination at J8. This header/socket provides access to the analog input pins of
the ADS1246. Consult Samtec at
or call 1-800-SAMTEC-9 for a variety of mating
connector options. These signals can also be connected to the terminal block J4.
All of the pins on J4 and J8 are connected with minimal filtering or protection. Use appropriate caution
when handling these pins.

Serial Data Interface
The ADS1246EVM is designed to easily interface with multiple control platforms. Samtec part numbers
SSW-110-22-F-D-VS-K and TSM-110-01-T-DV-P provide a convenient 10-pin, dual-row, header/socket
combination at J7. This header/socket provides access to the digital control and serial data pins of the
ADC. Consult Samtec at
or call 1-800-SAMTEC-9 for a variety of mating
connector options.
All logic levels on J7 are 3.3V CMOS, except for the I
