DC2581A CONNECTORS

DC2581A JUMPERS

Definitions
JP1:

 REF selects INT or EXT reference for the ADC. The 

default setting is INT.

JP2:

 VCCIO sets the output levels at P1 to either 3.3V 

or 2.5V. Use 2.5V to interface to the DC890 which is the 

default setting. Use 3.3V to interface to the DC2026.

JP3:

 I/O selects LVDS or CMOS logic levels. The default 

setting is CMOS. Only CMOS is currently supported.

Definitions
P1:

  DC890  interface  is  used  to  communicate  with  the 

DC890 controller.

J1:

 CLK provides the master clock for the DC2581A when 

interfaced to the DC890.

J2:

 FPGA PROGRAM is used to program the FPGA. This 

is for factory use only.

JP4:

 EEPROM is for factory use only. The default posi-

tion is WP.

JP5, JP8:

 AIN0-AIN1 can be used to short individual AIN 

inputs to ground or can be used drive the individual AIN 

inputs. The default is to leave these open.

JP13-JP14:

 Coupling selects AC or DC coupling for V

IN1

 

and V

IN2

. Default setting is DC.

JP15:

 Sets V

CM

 for the single-end to differential drivers 

of AIN0-AIN1

J3:

 JTAG is for factory use only.

J4:

 DC590/DC2026 interface is used to communicate with 

the DC2026 Linduino controller or DC590.

J5 and J6:

 Provide analog input voltages to AIN0-AIN1 

of the ADC.

J7:

 Routes the signals of J5 and J6 to AIN0-AIN1.
