ADS7041EVM-PDK Kit Operation

Estimated Current Consumption
The last tab in the GUI tabs menu opens up an
Estimated Current Consumption
tab as shown in
. This tab highlights the extremely low current and power consumption of the ADS7041 device
and its scaling with sampling rate and AVDD voltage. This is computed based on characterization data
collected across multiple devices at room temperature and it not based on data from the actual board
connected to the GUI.
Set the desired Sampling rate and AVDD using the two dial in the right hand side of the page and observe
the estimated current and power on the graph and the indicators on this page.

Troubleshooting
Although the ADS7041EVM GUI rarely stops responding while the ADS7041EVM-PDK is connected, in
case this does happen, unplug the USB cable from the EVM, unload the ADS7041EVM-PDK software,
reconnect the ADS7041EVM-PDK to the PC and reload the ADS7041EVM software.
When initially setting up the EVM, the software detects the EVM hardware, and loads the appropriate
hardware settings. If the EVM hardware is not detected, the GUI defaults to the
Capture Mode: Simulation
mode of operation using a preloaded captured data file for demonstration purposes.
