    C47, or wiring in a signal separately. The negative input pin, which has a range of –200 mV up to 200 mV, is shorted to ground on the ADS8481EVM via SJP9. A signal for the positive input pin can be...
  • Page 3 V. The necessary DC component to offset the signal is generated by U4. U4 is the low-noise THS4032 amplifier. If necessary, it can be configured to further filter the reference voltage IC, U2, and provide positive or negative gains. The ADS8481EVM leaves the factory with potentiometer, R24, set to 1.024 V. Table 1 indicates how the solder pad jumpers should be set to select for the various supply and input options for the analog driver circuitry.

    The ADS8481 can operate with an external reference voltage in the range of 3 V up to 4.2 V. It generates an on-chip 4.096-V reference voltage. The ADS8481EVM allows the user to select the external reference voltage from three sources. The first option is to use the internally generated 4.096 V from the ADC. The other two options are to select from the 3-V onboard reference (U1) or a user-supplied voltage applied at pin 20 of P1.

    This essential circuitry includes the input amplifier, reference circuit, and buffers. The ADS8481EVM analog input circuit is optimized for a wide bandwidth signal; therefore, the user may need to adjust the input buffer circuitry to better suit your needs. In AC-type applications where signal distortion is a concern, the user should use high quality capacitors such as Mica, polypropylene or COGs type capacitors in the signal path.
