DATA INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Side 1 Data Input/Output
Signals can be provided to the evaluation board and routed to
the required input pins through the IO_1C terminal block
connector, as shown in Figure 4. Four channel inputs/outputs can
be connected from IO_1C Pin 3 through IO_1C Pin 6 to the
respective A, B, C, and D channels of the ADuM540x.
Signals from the IO_1C terminal block connector channels can
also be routed to some of the other data lines through the JP1A
and JP1B jumper blocks (these jumper blocks correspond to
BNC Channel A and Channel B, if you populate them). Each
jumper block allows a channel signal from the IO_1C terminal
block to be connected to additional data input lines by configuring
the jumpers. The jumper blocks can also be used to wrap
signals from an
i
Coupler output back to an input by using the
JP1A or JP1B block to cross-connect inputs and outputs.
A common way to provide signals is with a function generator
through 50 Ω coax cables. The evaluation board has a layout
position at IO_1A and IO_1B for adding two BNC connectors,
but these are not provided with the evaluation board. The Tyco
AMP 227699-2 coax cables can be purchased to populate these
BNC connectors. In addition, to have 50 Ω terminations on the
evaluation board for the added BNC connectors, add a 50 Ω
through-hole resistor at the R1 and R2 positions. It is possible to
route data outputs to this connector as well; however, it is not
recommended because proper termination is not possible for
logic level signals, and improper termination can cause severe
ringing on the output lines.
The Side 1 input/output structure also includes pull-up/pull-
down/load positions, R7 through R14. Discrete through-hole
resistors and capacitors can be installed at these positions to
simulate most loading conditions or to provide pull-ups for
open collector outputs.
Side 2 Data I/O
Signals can be provided to the evaluation board and routed to
the required input pins through the IO_1D terminal block
connector, as shown in Figure 5. It consists of terminal block
connections that operate like the Side 1 structures. The terminal
block connections can also be used to wrap signals from an
i
Coupler output back to an input.
In addition to the off-board input/output connections, each
data channel is provided with through-hole connections to the
design area.
DESIGN AREA
The design area of the evaluation board allows breadboarding
of application components such as RS-485 and controller area
network (CAN) transceiver, analog-to-digital converter (ADC),
or digital-to-analog converter (DAC) components with direct
interconnects. The design area, as shown in Figure 6, accepts
most surface-mount narrow- and wide-body components with
50 mil and 100 mil pitch, as well as narrow- and wide-body
300 mil DIP through-hole devices. These surface-mount discrete
components and jumper wires can complete a wide variety of
circuits.
The design area has convenient connection points to the
primary data path, CHA to CHD, of the
i
Coupler, as well as
power connections for V
ISO
and GND
ISO
. To allow signals from
the design area to be routed to the IO_1D terminal block,
remove the 0 Ω resistors for R23 through R26. Note that no
ground plane is provided in the design area.
