ADS8168EVM-PDK

The ADS8168 evaluation module (EVM) performance demonstration kit (PDK) is a platform for evaluating
the performance of the ADS8168 successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR
ADC). The ADS8168EVM-PDK includes the ADS8168EVM board, the PHI controller board, and
accompanying computer software that enables the user to communicate with the ADC over a universal
serial bus (USB), capture data, and perform data analysis. This user's guide includes complete circuit
descriptions, schematic diagrams, and a bill of materials.
