This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS1x7xEVM-PDK. These
evaluation modules kits (EVM-PDK) are an evaluation system for the ADS1278, a 24-bit, 8 channel,
delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC), the ADS1178, a 16-bit version of the ADS1278 and the
ADS1274
and ADS1174, which are 4 channel versions of the ADS1278 and ADS1178, respectively. The
EVM-PDK allows evaluation of all aspects of the ADS1x7x devices.
This document includes an EVM QuickStart, hardware and software details, bill of materials, and
schematic.
