Digital Interface
The input pins on the ADS1281EVM are directly connected to the part, with no filtering or protection. It is
important to take appropriate caution when handling the pins.

Serial Data Interface
The ADS1281EVM 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 J5. 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 J5 are 3.3V CMOS, except for the I
2
C pins. These pins conform to 3.3V I

C
™
rules.
