ADS7041EVM-PDK

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation and use of the ADS7041-EVM performance
demonstration kit (PDK). This kit is an evaluation platform for the ADS7041 low power, 10-bit, successive
approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that supports single-ended analog
inputs.

This EVM eases the evaluation of the ADS7041 device with hardware and software for computer
connectivity through universal serial bus (USB). This user's guide includes complete circuit descriptions,
schematic diagrams, and a bill of materials.
