4. Verify that communication between the PGA5807A EVM and the PGA5807 GUI is established by
toggling either the
PDN_COMPLETE
checkbox or the
PDN
checkbox, as indicated on
Checking either box should make +5-V power supply current drop from ~650 mA – 750 mA to ~350
mA – 450 mA. If the DC current is approximately 480 mA, with both power down boxes unchecked, it
indicates that the ADS5296A is not receiving the sampling clock. Please ensure that the 3-pin headers
are configured as described in
. Before continuing, ensure that both power down boxes are
left unchecked. At this point, the GUI is confirmed to be communicating correctly with the EVM and
testing can begin.
