Connecting the USB Cable to the SDM-USB-DIG
shows the typical response when connecting the SDM-USB-DIG platform to a USB port of a PC
for the first time. The PC usually responds with a popup dialog window that states
Found New Hardware,
USB Device
. The popup window then changes to
Found New Hardware, Virtual COM Port (CDC)
. This
popup indicates that the device is ready for use. The CDC driver is used for communication between the
SDM-USB-DIG and PC.

AMC7834EVM Power Configurations
This section describes the various power configurations that can be used by the EVM.
The AMC7834EVM provides terminal blocks for external supplies as well as (optional) onboard power
conditioning to convert a 24-V supply into a +5-V, –5-V, and +2.5-V supply. Jumpers JP11, JP12, JP13,
and JP14 allow the AVDD / DVDD, VCC, AV
ss
, and IOVDD inputs to be configured to use these onboard
supplies, or external supplies through the terminal blocks. The reference can also be connected to the
o2.5-V supply or the external REFIN or REF_ADC/CMP pins located on J3-17 and J3-18,
