ADS8698: ADS8698EVM-PDK GUI download

Hello Chen, 

The ADS8698EVM was obsoleted some time ago and is no longer supported, similar with the GUI. 

The ADS8698 is pin-to-pin compatible with the ADS8688, which does currently have a supported EVM/GUI: ADS8688EVM-PDK

The ADS8688 is the 16-bit version of the ADS8698, so the GUI is made to configured to read 16 bit data instead of 18 bit, but configuring the device still uses the exact same format so that should remain the same. 

The ADS8688EVM can be used with the 16 bit version to evaluate the functionality and configuration of the device with a small performance loss due to the resolution 

Or an ADS8698 can be populated onto the EVM instead of the ADS8688 and either with a similar performance loss (due to the loss of the last 2 bits) or by connecting a different controller via J4, the device can be fully evaluated. 

If an external controller will be used, there is also another pin-to-pin compatible device in this family that has a plug-in module: ADS8688W, BOOSTXL-ADS8688W

The ADS8688W, is the wider range version of the ADS8688 (±12.228V max input range and also 16-bit), and similar to the ADS8698, it also has the alarm capability. This device is also compatible with the ADS8688EVM and has its own GUI to accommodate for the wider range. 

The BOOSTXL-ADS8688W is a module with a break out configuration to enable a wide compatibility range. It is HW compatible with the LP-MSPM0G3507 LaunchPad to allow for a open platform to communicate and evaluate with the device.  With this module, the device can also be replaced with the ADS8698 and via the Launchpad or any other controller, the needed accommodations can be made for the 18 bit data read. 

Hope this helps. 

Best regards,
