3 Digital Interface
, the EVM interfaces with the PHI controller and communicates with the PC over USB.
There are two devices on the EVM with which the PHI controller communicates: the ADS131B26-Q1 (by SPI)
and the EEPROM (by I
2
C). The EEPROM comes preprogrammed with the information required to configure and
initialize the ADS131B26Q1EVM-PDK GUI software. When the hardware is initialized, the EEPROM is no longer
used.
3.1 Connection to the PHI Controller
The ADS131B26Q1EVM-PDK communicates with the PHI controller through a shrouded, 60-pin connector (J9).
There are two round standoffs next to J9 with Phillips-head screws. To connect the PHI controller to the EVM,
remove the screws, attach the PHI controller to the EVM, and replace the screws into the standoffs. The screws
secure the EVM to the PHI and makes sure the connection between the two boards is complete.
lists the different PHI connection and their functions.
