ADS1281EVM (Left) and ADS1281EVM-PDK (Right)

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS1281EVM, both by itself and
as part of the ADS1281EVM-PDK. This evaluation model (EVM) is an evaluation board for the

ADS1281

,

a high-performance, 32-bit, single-channel, delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The EVM allows
evaluation of all aspects of the ADS1281. Complete circuit descriptions, schematic diagrams, and bills of
material are included in this document.
