Quick Start Guide:
ADS8681EVM-PDK
The ADS8681 Performance Demonstration Kit (PDK) is ideal for evaluating and starting development with the
ADS8681 precision analog to digital converter. This kit is comprised of an ADC evaluation board (EVM), a
precision host interface board (PHI), a micro USB cable and board attachment screws. The EVM features
one SMA connector that supports unipolar or bipolar analog input signals for the ADC. The ADS8681
transfers data to the PHI board via the multiSPI™ digital interface. An easy-to-use PC-based application
(GUI) is available to help evaluate the performance of the ADC on the ADS8681 EVM.
ADS8681EVM-PDK Features:
- 16pin TSSOP or WQFN ADS8681 16-bit, 1MSPS ADC
- OPA320 low distortion ADC driver
- 4.096V REF5040 reference
- TPS7A49 low noise LDO
- Bipolar or unipolar input signal
- Micro USB PC interface
IMPORTANT: The ADS8681 performance
demonstration kit software must be installed
before the USB cable is plugged into the PC.

IMPORTANT: The included screws should be used to make a
secure connection between the two boards to avoid damage.
NOTE: Remove the standoff if
installed on the PHI Board
before connecting to the EVM

Launch the ADS8681EVM-PDK GUI software on the PC from the ‘Start’ menu
An unipolar/bipolar input signal can be connected to the
EVM’s SMA connector and conversion results can be
viewed using the GUI software.
