TLA2024EVM-PDK User's Guide

ABSTRACT

The TLA2024EVM-PDK is comprised of the TLA2024 Evaluation Module (EVM) and the PAMBoard
motherboard. The combination of the EVM and PAMBoard allows users to evaluate the functionality of the Texas
Instruments 12-bit TLA2024 device. The TLA2024 is an ultra-small, low-power analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The TLA2024 has inputs that can be configured as four single-ended or two differential inputs. This document
describes both the EVM hardware platform and the graphical user interface (GUI) software used to configure
and operate the device. The user’s guide also includes the EVM schematic diagram, board layout, and bill of
materials. The EVM-PDK platform eases the evaluation of the TLA2024 device with hardware, software, and
computer connectivity through the universal serial bus (USB) interface.
