Analog Input Range Settings
The ADSxx54 dual simultaneous ADC supports fully-differential analog input signals on both channels.
The full-scale range (FSR) of the ADSxx54 device can be programmed to either a (±1 × V
ref
) or (±2 × V
ref
)
range by setting bit B9 of the ADSxx54 configuration register. This register is common to both ADCs in the
device (ADC_A and ADC_B). Configure the full-scale range setting in the EVM by navigating to the
ADSxx54EVM Settings page
on the graphical user interface (GUI). Refer to
of this user guide
for more information. Set the ADC differential inputs at a common-mode voltage of FSR_ADC_A / 2 and
FSR_ADC_B / 2, respectively. Configure jumpers JP5 and JP6 on the ADSxx54EVM to bias the ADC
input signal at the correct common-mode voltage level.

The ADSxx54EVM incorporates two THS4521 fully-differential amplifiers to drive the ADC inputs. The

shows
an example where the ADSxx54 device is configured with the ±2 × V
ref
FSR. A differential input signal with
a common-mode voltage of 0 V is applied to the inputs of the THS4521. The THS4521 shifts the signal to
the required common-mode voltage of FSR / 2. Because the THS4521 is powered by a 5-V supply , the
input signals must be limited to a differential voltage from –4.3 V to 4.3 V to avoid saturating the amplifier
output.
