ADS1235EVM: Gerber files for EVM

Part Number: ADS1235EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1261EVM, ADS1235

I'm looking for the gerber files for either the ADS1235EVM or ADS1261EVM. I see them printed in the documentation but I don't see a source file to import and look through.

  • Hi Tony,

    We are looking into this and will likely be able to get the files to you by the end of the week.

    Is this for a specific project? Or do you have a specific question you would like to get answered that I can help with in the meantime?

  • We are in the process of layout for a design using the ADS1235. We really want our first prototypes to have at least an equivalent level of noise performance as the EVM.  The EVM has several options for power and ground that make it difficulty to interpret the power layer  on page 10. I was hoping to use the Gerber files to speed up my interpretation of the structure but I'm not sure I can wait until the end of the week so I'll probably have to just go old school analog and work with the printouts. 

  • Hi Tony,

    Thanks for the additional information. We are working internally to get the gerber files added to the EVM device package, and that should be online later today. I can let you know when this occurs.

    One helpful piece of advice regarding the EVM power plane: the EVM has the option to use either a unipolar OR bipolar supply through a switch that selects whether AVSS connects to the GND plane or the -2.5V power plane. A better layout would not include this switch and would connect the AVSS pin directly to the desired power plane.

  • Hi Tony,

    One of my colleagues was able to add the gerber files into the ADS1261EVM device package. I downloaded it and you can see the files at the path below.

    Let me know if you have any more questions about this.
