Analog Interface
The ADS794xEVM is designed for easy interfacing to multiple analog sources. SMA connectors allow the
EVM to have input signals connected via coaxial cables. In addition, the Samtec connector provides a
convenient 10-pin, dual-row, header/socket combination at P2. This header/socket provides access to the
analog input pins of the ADS794x. Consult Samtec at
a variety of mating connector options. All analog inputs are buffered by OPA836 high-speed operational
amplifiers in order to properly drive the ADS794x ADC inputs.
Use appropriate caution when handling these pins.

uses one input per channel for its pseudo-differential inputs.
