CAUTION
When using the ADS1278EVM-CVAL with the MMB0 EVM, the DIP switches
S1
and
S2
must all be switched up, away from the center of the board. Failure
to do so may damage the EVM.
3.1
Analog Inputs
The analog inputs for the ADS1278EVM-CVAL are connected to
J1
and
J3
. Channels 1-4 connect to
J3
and provisions are provided to buffer these signals before being connected to the converter. Switches
S4,
S5, S7
, and
S8
control whether the buffered or unbuffered signal is connected to the ADS1278-SP.
Channels 5-8 connect to
J1
and have an RC filter available to filter the input before connecting to the
converter. Channels 5-8 do not have provisions for buffering the signal.
3.2
Digital Control
The digital control signals can be applied directly to
J4
(top or bottom side).
3.3
Power Supply
The ADS1278EVM-CVAL requires power rails as follows:
•
5.0-V analog supply - supplied by MMB0 motherboard via
J13B
•
3.3-V digital supply - supplied by MMB0 motherboard
•
1.8-V digital supply - supplied by MMB0 motherboard
3.4
Voltage Reference
The ADS1278EVM-CVALhas two options for the reference voltage. Switch
S3
selects the reference
voltage from either the buffered REF5025 or a external reference voltage that is connected to the
reference pins of
J3
(
J3.18
= REFN and
J3.20
= REFP). Regardless of the reference source, the voltage
being provided to the ADS1278-SP can be monitored at testpoints
TP2, REFN
, and
TP3, REFP
, as shown
in
below.
