MSOP-8EVM and MSOP-8EVM-PDK Figure 1. MSOP-8EVM (Left) and MSOP-8EVM-PDK (Right) This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the MSOP-8EVM, both by itself and as part of the MSOP-8EVM-PDK. This EVM is an evaluation board for single-channel, 14- to 16-bit, analog-to-digital converter (ADC) devices in an MSOP-8 package.
The MMB0 motherboard allows the MSOP-8EVM to be connected to the computer via an available USB port. This manual shows how to use the MMB0 as part of the MSOP-8EVM-PDK, but does not provide technical details on the MMB0 itself.
Analog Interface For maximum flexibility, the modular MSOP-8EVM is designed for easy interfacing to multiple analog sources. Samtec part numbers SSW-110-22-F-D-VS-K and TSM-110-01-T-DV-P provide a convenient, 10-pin, dual-row header/socket combination at J1. This header/socket provides access to the analog input pins of the ADC.
Power Supplies The modular MSOP-8EVM board requires +5V dc for the analog section. This power source supplies the voltage reference (U2), the reference buffer (U4), and optionally, the ADC installed on the EVM (via JMP1). Supply voltages of +1.8V to +5V dc for the digital section are also required. When used in combination with one of the DAP Interface boards, J3 provides connection to the common power bus described in the 5-6 K Interface Board User's Guide, (SLAU104).

(shunt on pins 1-2), the reference source is the onboard reference/buffer circuit. Moving the shunt to JMP6 to pins 2-3 allows the voltage applied to the ADC (+V ) to be used as the reference source. MSOP-8EVM and MSOP-8EVM-PDK SBAU140 – December 2008 Submit Documentation Feedback...
2-3, the CS (SHDN) signal is applied via J2.1. Digital I/O Buffers Single gate buffers U3, U5, and U6 are provided to ensure the safe operation of the modular MSOP-8EVM with low-voltage host controllers. The digital I/O voltage applied to these buffers via JMP3 should be set in accordance with the operating voltage of the host controller.
The latest software is available from Texas Instruments' website at http://www.ti.com/. The CD-ROM shipped with the MSOP-8EVM may not contain the latest software, but the ADCPro installer will check for updates when run, if connected to the Internet, and then give you the option of downloading and installing the latest version.
MSOP-8EVM-PDK Kit Operation www.ti.com Setting Up the MSOP-8EVM-PDK The MSOP-8EVM-PDK contains both the MSOP-8EVM and the MMB0 motherboard; however, the devices are shipped unconnected. Follow these steps to set up the MSOP-8EVM-PDK: Step 1. Unpack the MSOP-8EVM-PDK kit. Step 2. Set the jumpers and switches on the MMB0 as shown in Figure a.
About the MMB0 The MMB0 is a modular EVM system motherboard. It is designed around the TMS320VC5507, a DSP from Texas Instruments that has an onboard USB interface. The MMB0 also has 16MB of SDRAM installed. The MMB0 is not sold as a DSP development board, and it is not available separately. TI cannot offer support for the MMB0 except as part of an EVM kit.
Connecting the Power Supply The MSOP-8EVM-PDK can be operated with a unipolar +5V supply, in which case an ac adapter or a lab power supply can be used. When the MMB0 DSP is powered properly, LED D2 glows green. The green light indicates that the 3.3V supply for the MMB0 is operating properly;...
MSOP-8EVM-PDK Kit Operation www.ti.com 6.3.2 Connecting a Laboratory Power Supply A laboratory power supply can be connected through terminal block J14 on the MMB0, as shown in Figure To use a unipolar lab power supply configuration: • Disconnect J12 on the MMB0.
The program for evaluating the MSOP-8EVM-PDK is called ADCPro. This program uses plug-ins to communicate with the EVM. The MSOP-8EVM-PDK plug-in is included in the MSOP-8EVM-PDK package.
