Figure 1. ADS131E08EVM-PDK

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS131E08EVM-PDK. This
performance demonstration kit is an evaluation module for the ADS131E08, an eight-channel, 24-bit, low-
power, integrated analog front-end (AFE) designed for power protection circuits. The ADS131E08EVM-
PDK is intended for prototyping and evaluation. This user's guide includes a complete circuit description,
schematic diagram, and bill of materials.

Throughout this document, the terms ADS131E08EVM-PDK, demonstration kit, evaluation board,
evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the ADS131E08EVM.
