    Chapter 1 Overview The ADS1224EVM is an evaluation fixture for the ADS1224 24-bit delta-sigma (∆Σ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADS1224EVM is designed for prototyping and evaluation. Topic Page Introduction ..........
  • Page 10: Introduction

    The ADS1224EVM is designed using a standard card format developed by TI. This simple, consistent design makes the ADS1224EVM very easy to connect to your own prototype system. You can even think of the ADS1224EVM as an alternate package for the ADS1224—one much larger than the device itself, but also much easier to wire up by hand on your test bench.

    Built-in Accessories 1.2 Built-in Accessories The ADS1224EVM includes a system clock oscillator and a low-noise voltage reference. Both of these components are optional; you can select an external system clock and an external reference using slide switches. The +2.5V voltage reference is derived from a Burr-Brown REF1004-2.5, which is buffered by an OPA350 and filtered by a capacitor.

    1.5 Setting Up The ADS1224EVM is configured according to its use. Thus, there is no single correct procedure to follow in order configure the test fixture. Nevertheless, it is useful to remember the following things when you are set- ting up the board: Make certain that the digital supply level is correct.
  • Page 13 Setting Up Check the system clock switch. If it is set to EXT, and you have not con- nected a clock signal to the external clock input pin on J2, the ADS1224 will not operate. The ADS1224 has several configuration input pins connected to pins on J2.

    Jumpers 2.2 Jumpers There are six jumper positions on the ADS1224EVM. All are contained in jumper block J4. The pinout of this jumper block is shown in Figure 2−5. Figure 2−5. Jumper Block ADCAVDD AVDD DVDD +1.8VD DVDD +3.3VD DVDD...

    Connect only one of pin pairs 5−6, 7−8 or 9−10. Shorting more than one of these jumpers can potentially damage your motherboard, or even damage the ADS1224EVM itself. The ADS1224 inputs are not 5V tolerant, nor are they TTL-compatible. Although protection resistance is included in each digital line, it may be neces- sary to provide level translation if the ADS1224 digital supply must be powered from a different voltage than the external logic.

    3.4 Clock Circuitry The ADS1224 does not have a built-in clock oscillator, and requires an external clock signal in order to operate. The ADS1224EVM has a 4MHz clock oscilla- tor chip on board to supply the clock signal. In some cases, it is desirable to operate the ADS1224 at a different frequency.
