AFE44x0SPO2EVM FAQs
9.1
EVM communicating with the PC application
A quick and simple check to verify serial register write operation is to put the AFE44x0 in power-down
mode. Follow the sequence to check if the GUI is communicating with the EVM.
•
In Device Configuration
→
Global Settings tab, select Powerdown_AFE
•
This powers down the AFE and the VCM output voltage of the AFE drops to 0 V
•
VCM is measured at the VCM_AFE serial jumper resistor R28 on the board
9.2
ADC_RDY signal
After executing the GUI, observe the ADC_RDY waveform at series jumper resistor R26.This should be at
the same frequency as the PRF.
shows the ADC_RDY waveform at 500-Hz PRF.
