4 Digital Interface
, the EVM interfaces with the PHI and communicates with the computer over the USB.
There are two devices on the EVM with which the PHI communicates: the ADS1285 ADC (over SPI) and the
EEPROM (over I
2
C). The EEPROM comes pre-programmed with the information required to configure and
initialize the ADS1285EVM-PDK GUI. When the hardware is initialized, the EEPROM is no longer used.
4.1 Connection to the PHI
The ADS1285EVM-PDK board communicates with the PHI through a shrouded, 60-pin connector, J6. There are
two round standoffs next to J6 with Phillips-head screws. To connect the PHI to the EVM, remove the screws,
attach the PHI to the EVM, and replace the screws into the standoffs. The screws secure the EVM to the PHI
and ensures the connection between the boards.
lists the different PHI connection and their functions.
