ADS8910BEVM-PDK

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS8910B evaluation module
(EVM) performance demonstration kit (PDK). This kit is an evaluation platform for the

ADS8910B

, which is

an 18-bit, 1-MSPS, fully-differential input, successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) that features an enhanced serial multiSPI

®

digital interface. The EVM-PDK eases the

evaluation of the ADS8910B device with hardware, software, and computer connectivity through the
universal serial bus (USB) interface. This user's guide includes complete circuit descriptions, schematic
diagrams, and a bill of materials.

The following related documents are available through the Texas Instruments web site at
