Figure 5. ADS131M04EVM Jumper Default Settings
The default position of the JP6 jumper is across [1-2] at the top. JP6 sets the onboard oscillator frequency
to 8.192 MHz, used for the ADS131M04 in high-resolution mode. The default connection for JP9 is to the
left, so that the linear regulator is powering the system using 5 V from the PHI controller.
The default settings, as listed in
, includes no jumpers installed at JP5, JP7, and JP8. When
installed, JP5 disables the onboard oscillator, JP7 enables the EEPROM for write, and JP8 disables the
linear regulator.
