1.1 Introduction

The ADS127L18EVM is a platform for evaluating the performance of the ADS127L18, an 8-channel, simultaneous sampling, 24-bit, high-speed, wide-bandwidth ΔΣ ADC. The ADS127L18EVM board includes the ADS127L18 ADC and all the peripheral analog circuits and components required to extract optimum performance from the ADC. The PHI board primarily serves two functions:

  • Provides a communication interface from the EVM to the computer through a USB port
  • Provides the digital input and output signals necessary to communicate with the ADS127L18 ADC

This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS127L18 evaluation module (EVM). The ADS127L18EVM eases the evaluation of the device with hardware, software, and computer connectivity through the universal serial bus (USB) interface. This user's guide includes complete circuit descriptions, schematic diagrams, and a bill of materials. Throughout this document, the abbreviation EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with the ADS127L18 EVM.
