It can be used as a controller for motors, as an audio transducer with its built-in low-noise microphone, as a health monitor in medical devices, and for other high-speed sensing and signal conditioning applications.

The working principle behind the ADS8900BEVM-PDK is to sample the analog signal and convert it to a digital signal, which is then processed by the ADC. The ADC samples the analog signal and observes its voltage levels before using a reference voltage to calculate the digital result of the analog sample. The ADC then completes the conversion through a two-step process of approximation and comparison. First, the ADC evaluates the difference in voltage between two adjacent value codes and performs a comparison to determine the code value. This process is repeated until the ADC obtains the code output that corresponds to the voltage of the analog signal. Finally, the digital output is thus generated.

The ADS8900BEVM-PDK is a cost-efficient, accurate, and reliable solution for analog to digital conversion. It provides engineers with the flexibility to design and create the ideal system for their application. The board’s features and working principles help to ensure accurate and consistent conversion results, thus ensuring that the system performance is optimized.
