SBAU448 September 2024 ADS8681W
As noted in Section 1.1, the EVM interfaces with the PHI controller board which, in turn, communicates with the computer over USB. There are two devices on the EVM with which the PHI communicates – the ADC (over SPI™, U1) and the EEPROM (over I2C, U5). The EEPROM comes pre-programmed with the information required to configure and initialize the ADS8681WEVM-PDK platform. Once the hardware on the EVM board has been initialized, the EEPROM is no longer used and is disabled on the EVM board (refer to Section 3.2.1.)
