EVM Modes This user’s guide has been written to help you get the most from your evaluation module (EVM). The TLC4541 EVM is a member of the multipurpose (MP) family of serial EVMs. It provides a platform to demonstrate the performance and functionality of the TLC4541 ADC and the TLV5636 DAC.
1.1.1 Stand-Alone Mode A unique feature of this EVM is the facility it offers the user to closely couple the ADC and DAC with a minimum of user intervention. This feature allows the serial bit stream from the digitized analog output to be fed directly to the DAC. Therefore, the signal that is fed into the ADC can be reconstructed via the DAC.
This chapter describes how the user can modify the various options of this EVM. Topic Shipping (Default Configuration) Jumpers ........... . . Switches .
Shipping (Default Configuration) It is very important that users feel comfortable with the EVM from the beginning. To achieve this, each unit is manufactured and shipped in a predetermined condition. This allows the user to begin evaluation of the system immediately and to have confidence that the EVM is working. To confirm that the EVM is working properly, follow the steps below: 1) Apply power to the system.

Jumpers 2.2 Jumpers The table below lists the functions that users can reconfigure along with the shipping condition. Table 2–3. Jumper/Function Reference Function Channel 0 Analog input Analog output Disable onboard signal generator Voltage reference 3.3-V/5-V analog supply select Clock/timer routing 2.2.1 Analog I/O Signal Conditioning The TLC4541 supports various signal conditioning configurations.
2.2.3 Channel 0 Analog Output With a one-channel DAC installed, this signal is the primary analog output (output A). With a two-channel DAC installed, the pinout of these devices effectively resolves this channel to be the secondary analog output (output B). Analog Input Configuration Channel 0 Reference Designator...
Switches 2.2.7 Clock/Timer Routing A variety of options are available to the user. Be careful about altering these. Reference Designator This jumper defines the clock that the ADC and DAC use for all their timing. The user can select either the output from W23 or the output from W22 to be the base clock for the system. This jumper allows the user to select either an external clock, or the onboard 20-MHz oscillator for conversion.
If SW1-1 is set to the on position, user mode is selected. In this case the user has absolute control of the data and control signals for the ADC and DAC. With SW1-1 in the on position, the logic that generates the control for SAM is disabled and plays no active part in the process.

2.6 Host Communication There are two ways to connect a host system (DSP/microprocessor): Texas Instruments’ new DSKs provide two dedicated 80-pin connectors. The EVM can be plugged directly onto these DSKs. This connector standard is referred to as the common connector.

Host Communication 2.6.2 Legacy Connector J12, J13, and J15 are three 2x20 headers daisy-chained together and are collectively referred to as the legacy connector. The principle behind this arrangement is to eliminate the confused and untidy custom cabling that is typically present when connecting a legacy DSP to an EVM.

Consider a host cable signal assignment as shown below: Host Connector Pin No. Signal Pin No. Signal DGND DGND CLKX CLKR TOUT DGND DGND DGND CLKS The host connector mates with J12. Signals on either side of J12 are available on J13 and J15.

All of the signals required to interface the EVM to the host are now available on either J13 or J15. This is simply a matter of wire-wrapping in the following way: Wire Wrap Pin No. Signal Pin No. CLKX TOUT Wire Wrap Pin No.
