Page 4: Preface
The following documents provide information regarding Texas Instruments integrated circuits used in the assembly of the PGA308EVM. These documents are available from the TI web site under the respective literature number (for example, SBxxnnn). Any letter appended to the literature number corresponds to the document revision that is current at the time of the writing of this User’s Guide. -
Page 5: Overview
Related Documentation from Texas Instruments. The PGA308EVM is an evaluation module that is used to fully evaluate the PGA308 device. The PGA308 is a mixed-signal programmable gain amplifier that has high resolution gain and offset adjustment capability. The PGA308EVM consists of two PCBs. One board generates the digital signals (USB DAQ Platform) required to communicate with the PGA308 (PGA308_Test_Board), and the second board contains the PGA308, as well as support and configuration circuitry. -

PGA308EVM Hardware Figure 1-1 shows the hardware included with the PGA308EVM kit. Contact the factory if any component is missing. TI highly recommendeds that you check the TI web site (at http://www.ti.com) to verify that you have the latest software. -
Page 7: System Setup
System Setup Figure 2-1 shows the system setup for the PGA308EVM. The PC runs software that communicates with the USB DAQ platform. The USB DAQ platform generates the digital signals used to communicate with the PGA308 test board. Connectors on the PGA308 test board allow for connection to the system that will be monitored by the user. -

Theory of Operation For the USB DAQ Platform Figure 2-3 shows the block diagram for the USB DAQ platform. This platform is a general-purpose data acquisition system that is used on several different Texas Instruments evaluation modules. The block diagram shown in Figure 2-3 illustrates the general platform outline. -
Page 12: Hardware Connections And Jumper Settings
SBOU060A – July 2008 – Revised September 2016 Hardware Connections and Jumper Settings Many of the components on the PGA308EVM are susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Customers are advised to observe proper ESD handling precautions when unpacking and handling the EVM, including the use of a grounded wrist strap at an approved ESD workstation. -
Page 13: Connecting The Hardware
Connecting the Hardware www.ti.com Connecting the Hardware The best way to connect the two PGA308EVM PCBs together is to gently push on both sides of the DSUB connectors, as shown in Figure 3-2. Make sure that the two connectors are completely socketed together;... -
Page 14: Connecting Power
Connecting Power www.ti.com Connecting Power Connect the two PGA308EVM PCBs before connecting a power source, as shown in Figure 3-3. Always connect power before connecting the USB cable. If the USB cable is connected before the power is supplied, the computer will attempt to communicate with an unpowered device, and the device will not be able to respond. -
Page 15: Connecting The Usb Cable To The Pga308Evm
Connecting the USB Cable to the PGA308EVM www.ti.com Connecting the USB Cable to the PGA308EVM Figure 3-4 shows the typical response to connecting the USB DAQ platform to a PC USB port for the first time. Note that the EVM must be powered up before connecting the USB cable. Typically, the computer will respond with a Found New Hardware, USB Device pop-up. -
Page 16: Jumper Settings
Jumper Settings Figure 3-5 shows the default jumper configuration for the PGA308EVM. In general, the jumper settings of the USB DAQ platform do not need to be changed. However, you may want to change some of the jumpers on the PGA308 test board to match your specific device configuration (for example, to change the reference configuration). -
