ADS4449 EVM User Guide

This document serves as a user’s guide for the ADS4449 Evaluation Module (EVM). The EVM provides a
platform for evaluating the ADS4449, a quad-channel, 14-bit telecommunications analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) operating at sampling rates of up to 250 MSPS. Designed for low-power consumption
and high spurious free dynamic range (SFDR), the ADC has low-noise performance and outstanding
SFDR over a large input-frequency range. The four ADC channels are separated into two blocks with two
ADCs each.

This EVM is ideally suited for mating with the TSW1400 Capture Card for performing a data capture into a
capture buffer, uploading the sample data to a PC, performing an FFT, and reporting on SNR, SFDR, and
other performance metrics.

For more information regarding the ADS4449 and the related evaluation tools, please refer to the
