1 EVM Overview

1.1 Features

ADS7924EVM:

• Contains all support circuitry needed for the ADS7924

• Buffer options: Onboard analog input buffer can be bypassed

• Compatible with the TI Modular EVM System

ADS7924EVM-PDK:

• Easy-to-use evaluation software for Microsoft

Windows

• Data collection to text files

• Built-in analysis tools including scope, FFT, and histogram displays

• Complete control of board settings

• Easily expandable with new analysis plug-in tools from Texas Instruments

For use with a computer, the ADS7924EVM-PDK is available. This kit combines the ADS7924EVM board

with the MSP430-based MMB3 motherboard, and includes ADCPro™ software for device evaluation.

The MMB3 motherboard allows the ADS7924EVM to be connected to the computer via an available USB

port. This manual shows how to use the MMB3 as part of the ADS7924EVM-PDK, but does not provide

technical details about the MMB3 itself.

ADCPro is a program for collecting, recording, and analyzing data from ADC evaluation boards. It is based

on a number of plug-in programs, so it can be expanded easily with new test and data collection plug-ins.

The ADS7924EVM-PDK is controlled by a plug-in running in ADCPro. For more information about

ADCPro, see the ADCPro™ Analog-to-Digital Converter Evalutation Software User's Guide (literature

number SBAU128), available for download from the TI website.

This manual covers the operation of both the ADS7924EVM and the ADS7924EVM-PDK. Throughout this

document, the abbreviation EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with the

ADS7924EVM.
