Isolated Sigma-Delta Modulator

5. To verify that the installation is successful, open the Device Manager. Under Universal Serial bus controllers, the two 

ports USB Serial Converter A and USB Serial Converter B should appear.

6. Each time the evaluation board SW1 is turned on, the board goes through a series of power-on sequences. When 

completed, the green DONE LED comes on to indicate completion of the power-on sequences.

7. Connect the C740-SDM-EVBD board to the FPGA-EVBD. Once connected, LED1 to LED4 light up in an undefined 

sequence to indicate that the board connections are properly done.
The C740-SDM-EVBD and FPGA-EVBD boards are shown, respectively, below:

8. Go to the PC directory and run the dig_filter.exe application program. Refer to the application GUI screen capture as 

shown in 

Figure 3

. If the evalboard is connected and SW1 switched on, a Broadcom-System message appears on the 

right of the Search button. If SW1 is not turned on, an error message appears, as shown below.
Click 

OK

 and the application GUI appears. The message 

System not connected!!

 displays instead.

9. Switch on SW1. Go to the application GUI, and click 

Search

. Now, the message changes to Broadcom-System to 

indicate that the connection is established.
