Power Supply
Both the LaunchPad™ 3.3-V and 5-V supplies are used for the BOOSTXL-ADS1219. The digital supply is
3.3 V and supplies the ADS1219 DVDD supply input. AVDD is the ADS1219 analog supply and can
accommodate either 3.3-V or 5-V operation. The choice of analog supply voltage is selected by jumper
JP2. JP2:1-2 selects the 5-V supply source and JP2:2-3 selects the 3.3-V source, as shown in
.
Figure 6. Analog Supply Jumper
The 3.3-V source comes directly from the LaunchPad™ and when available on the BOOSTXL-ADS1219
the D2 LED lights up indicating that the supply is active. The LaunchPad™ 5-V source is often less than
5 V. To achieve a stable voltage when operating at 5-V AVDD, U3 is used to charge pump the
LaunchPad™ 5-V source and regulate for a fixed 5-V output. U3 can be disabled by installing jumper JP1,
but by default this jumper is not installed. When U3 is active, then LED D1 lights up indicating the supply
is available. TP1 can be used to monitor the AVDD supply voltage. Jumper placement and LEDs are
shown in
