boards

The ADS1241MEVM is in Texas Instruments' modular EVM form factor, which allows direct
evaluation of the ADS1241 performance and operating characteristics, and eases software
development and system prototyping. This EVM is compatible with the 5-6K Interface Board
(SLAU104) from Texas Instruments and additional third-party boards such as the HPA449
demonstration board from SoftBaugh, Inc. (

www.softbaugh.com

and the Speedy33™ from

Hyperception, Inc. (

www.hyperception.com

).

For maximum flexibility, the ADS1241MEVM 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 J1. This header/socket provides
access to the analog input pins of the ADS1241. Consult Samtec at

www.samtec.com

or call

1-800-SAMTEC-9 for a variety of mating connector options.
