Power Supplies
4 Power Supplies
The ADS8555 device uses four power supplies: AVDD (5 V), BVDD (3.3 V), HVDD (12 V), and HVSS (–12 V).
The two high-voltage power supplies require an external ±15-V supply and are connected on a screw terminal
strip (J1). The ±15-V supplies are regulated from ±15 V to ±12 V for HVDD and HVSS. The digital voltage supply
(BVDD), is generated with the USB power. The analog supply (AVDD) is generated using the external 15-V
supply and an LDO to generate 5 V.
4.1 External Power Connections and Test Points
The screw terminal block J1 is used to connect the external high voltage supplies. These supplies are not
provided in the evaluation module kit and the expectation is that a low-noise lab supply is used to provide this
power (for example, Keysight
help protect the ADC from transients. These supplies are typically connected to ±15 V. For details on operation,
see the ADS8555 data sheet.
for quick verification that power is applied.
