ADC08L060 Evaluation Module
1
Overview
The ADC08L060EVM is an evaluation module (EVM) designed to evaluate the ADC08L060. The EVM
provides simple and minimal external components to minimize system cost and power consumption.
The following features apply to this EVM:
•
8-bit, low-cost, low-power, high-speed, CMOS interface ADC08L060
•
Onboard 60-MHz crystal oscillator for sample clocking, with an external clock option
•
TPS7A47 user-programmable RF LDO voltage regulator
•
CDCV304 high-performance, low-skew, PCI_X-compliant clock buffer
The ADC08L060EVM is designed to work seamlessly with the TSW1400EVM, TI’s CMOS and LVDS
pattern generator and data-capture board, through the
High-Speed Data Converter Pro
Graphical User
Interface (HSDC Pro GUI) software tool for high-speed data converter evaluation.
