ADS8860EVM-PDK
This user's guide describes the operation and use of the
evaluation module (EVM). The
ADS8860 is a 16-bit, pseudo-differential, unipolar, successive approximation register (SAR), analog-to-
digital converter (ADC) with a maximum throughput of 1 MSPS. The device is a very low-power ADC with
excellent noise and distortion performance for ac or dc signals. The performance demonstration kit (PDK)
eases EVM evaluation with additional hardware and software for computer connectivity through a
universal serial bus (USB). The
includes the ADS8860EVM as a daughter card,
MMB0 motherboard, A-to-B USB cable, and 6-V wall-adapter power supply. This user's guide covers
circuit description, schematic diagram, and bill of materials for the ADS8860EVM daughter card.
