ADS8350EVM-PDK

ADS8350EVM-PDK

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation and use of the ADS8350EVM performance
demonstration kit (PDK). This kit is an evaluation platform for the ADS8350, dual-channel, 16-bit,
simultaneous sampling, successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that
supports pseudo-differential analog inputs. This EVM eases the evaluation of the ADS8350 device with
hardware and software for computer connectivity through a universal serial bus (USB). This user's guide
includes complete circuit descriptions, a schematic diagram, and a bill of materials.

Throughout this document, the terms demonstration kit, evaluation board, evaluation module are
synonymous with the ADS8350EVM-PDK.
