ADS1278EVM-PDK Evaluation Module
Description
The ADS1278 evaluation module (EVM) is a platform
for evaluating the performance of the ADS1278,
which is a 24-bit, 8-channel simultaneous-sampling
delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The ADS1278 combines high-precision industrial
measurement with excellent dc and ac specifications,
providing a usable signal bandwidth of up to 90% of
the Nyquist rate with less than 0.005dB of passband
ripple. The ADS1278 EVM eases the evaluation of
the device with hardware, software, and computer
connectivity through the universal serial bus (USB)
interface.
