1.1 Introduction
Many data converter evaluation fixtures contain a computer interface or a
microcontroller, but the ADS1224EVM contains only the ADS1224 device and
a few support components. All ADS1224 pins are accessible through various
pins on the ADS1224EVM analog and digital connectors.
The ADS1224EVM is designed using a standard card format developed by TI.
This simple, consistent design makes the ADS1224EVM very easy to connect
to your own prototype system. You can even think of the ADS1224EVM as an
alternate package for the ADS1224—one much larger than the device itself,
but also much easier to wire up by hand on your test bench.
The ADS1224EVM can be plugged directly into suitable motherboards, such
as the HPA449 MSP430 microcontroller development system from Soft-
Baugh, Inc. (http://www.softbaugh.com/). See TI’s web site for example code
using the ADS1224EVM with the HPA449.
The ADS1224EVM, together with a motherboard and appropriate software,
also forms a complete evaluation system for verifying the performance of the
ADS1224 . See the ADS1224 product information folder on the Texas Instru-
ments web site for more information and software.
