Chapter 1 Overview This chapter gives a general overview of the TLV1544EVM Evaluation Module (EVM), and describes some of the factors that must be considered in using the module. Topic Page Purpose ............
1.2 EVM Basic Function There are four analog inputs to the TLV1544EVM, three of these are available for external inputs through BNC connectors. The internal analog input consists of an operational amplifier with a potentiometer for observing simple dc measurements.
Power Requirements 1.3 Power Requirements The EVM operates properly over a balanced input voltage range of 10 volts maximum to 7 volts minimum. The power supply and externally applied refer- ence voltage should be supplied to the EVM through shielded twisted-pair wire for best performance.
The two rows of plated-through holes, designated as JPA shorting jumpers, allow the on board signals to connect externally in a variety of user defined selections. Using these jumpers, the TLV1544EVM I/O signals can be conve- niently connected to an existing hardware (DSP EVMs, microprocessor EVM, micro-controller EVMs, etc.) by appropriate jumper placement.
TLV1544EVM Operational Procedure 1.7 TLV1544EVM Operational Procedure Some signal setup or software is required for the TLV1544EVM. The TLV1544 data sheet provides the timing requirements and the application report (litera- ture number SLAA025) supplies an example of software using the TMS320C50 DSP.

TLV1544 Overview 4.1 TLV1544 Overview The following paragraphs describe the TLV1544 10-bit ADC. 4.1.1 Description The TLV1544 is a CMOS 10-bit switched-capacitor successive approximation ADC. Figure 4–1 shows the functional block diagram for the device. The device has a chip-select (CS), input-output clock (I/O CLK), data input (DATA IN) and serial data output (DATA OUT).

TLV1544 Overview Table 4–2. Terminal Functions (Continued) Terminal Description Name I/O CLK Input/output clock. I/O CLK receives the serial I/O clock input in the two modes and performs the following four functions in each mode: Microprocessor mode When INVCLK = V , I/O CLK clocks the four input data bits into the input data register on the first four rising edges of I/O CLK after CS with the multiplexer address available after the fourth rising edges.
Microprocessor Serial Interface 4.2 Microprocessor Serial Interface Input data bits from DATA IN are clocked in on the first four rising edges of the I/O CLK sequence if INV CLK is held high when the device is in microprocessor interface mode. Input data bits are clocked in on the first four falling edges of the I/O CLK sequence if INV CLK is held low.
DSP Interface 4.3 DSP Interface The TLV1544 can also interface with a DSP, from the TMS320 family for exam- ple, through a serial port. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC) serves as a slave device where the DSP supplies FS and the serial I/O CLK. Transmit and receive operations are concurrent.

Appendix A Grounding Considerations This appendix contains general information on grounding techniques for a printed circuit board using the TLV1544. Topic Page Printed Circuit Board Grounding Considerations ....A–2 Grounding Considerations...
Printed Circuit Board Grounding Considerations A.1 Printed Circuit Board Grounding Considerations When designing analog circuits that share a ground with digital and high current power supplies, the voltage drop along the high current paths must be considered. This voltage drop is a result of the current flowing through the greater than zero resistance of the current path, or high frequency current transients flowing through a greater than zero inductance of a current path.
