Precision Signal Injector EVM (PSIEVM)

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the

Precision Signal Injector

evaluation module (PSIEVM). The EVM facilitates the evaluation of single-ended, differential, and high-
voltage SAR analog-to-digital converters (ADC) by generating a very low distortion, low-noise signal. This
signal generator is powered by and controlled by the USB port. This user's guide provides a description of
how to configure and control the hardware using the provided software GUI.
