ADS1298ECG-FE/ADS1198ECG-FE

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS1298ECG-FE and
ADS1198ECG-FE. The ADS1298ECG-FE and ADS1198ECG-FE are evaluation modules for the
ADS1298, an eight-channel, 24-bit, and ADS1198, an eight-channel, 16-bit, analog-to digital converter
(ADC). Both devices provide low-power, integrated analog front-end (AFE) designs for patient monitoring
and portable and high-end electrocardiogram (ECG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) applications. This
user's guide includes a complete circuit description, schematic diagram, and bill of materials.
