4 Power Supplies
The ADS8568EVM has four power supplies: AVDD (5 V), DVDD (3.3 V), HVDD (15 V), and HVSS (-15 V).
The two high voltage power supplies require an external ±15 V supply and are connected on a screw terminal
strip (J9). The lower voltage supplies (AVDD and DVDD), are generated with the USB power and low dropout
regulators (LDO).
4.1 Low Dropout Regulator
U8 is a low dropout regulator (LDO) used to convert the 5.5 V regulated supply from the PHI to a low noise 5 V
supply. The input and output of this LDO can be monitored on TP2 and TP3.

4.2 Power Connections and LED Indicators
The screw terminal block J9 is used to connect the external high voltage supplies. These supplies are not
provided in the evaluation module kit and it is expected that you will use low noise lab supply to provide this
power (for example, Keysight E3632a). The high voltage supplies have transient voltage suppressor diodes to
help protect the ADC from transients. These supplies are typically connected to +/-15 V. For details on operation,
see the ADS8568 data sheet.
also shows how each supply has an LED monitor for quick verification
that power is applied.
