Cole Macias ABSTRACT This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS1285EVM-PDK. This evaluation module (EVM) is an evaluation board for the ADS1285, a high-performance, 32-bit, multichannel, delta-sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The EVM allows evaluation of all aspects of the ADS1285. This manual covers the operation of the ADS1285EVM-PDK.
The evaluation kit includes the ADS1285EVM-PDK board and the precision host interface (PHI) controller board. The PHI board enables the accompanying computer software to communicate with the ADC over the universal serial bus (USB) for data capture and analysis because the ADS1285EVM-PDK does not contains a microprocessor on the board.
ADS1285EVM-PDK Quick-Start Guide 4. Launch the ADS1285EVM-PDK GUI software and power will be supplied to the EVM. a. The default installation path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\ADS1285 EVM. 5. As shown in Figure 2-2, use the Configuration section of the GUI for a specific clock input, desired data rate, and number of samples.
3 EVM Analog Interface The ADS1285EVM-PDK is designed for easy interfacing with analog sources. This section details the front-end circuit, including jumper configuration for different input test signals and board connectors for signal sources. 3.1 ADC Analog Input Signal Path Analog inputs to the EVM can be connected to either terminal block associated with each ADC channel.
EVM Analog Interface www.ti.com 3.2 ADC Input Clock (CLK) Options Using the onboard oscillator, clock dividers, and external connectors, the ADS1285EVM-PDK has device configuration flexibility. The ADC operates from CLK, which generates the modulator clock (f ), provided in one of two ways: •...
EEPROM (over I C). The EEPROM comes pre-programmed with the information required to configure and initialize the ADS1285EVM-PDK GUI. When the hardware is initialized, the EEPROM is no longer used. 4.1 Connection to the PHI The ADS1285EVM-PDK board communicates with the PHI through a shrouded, 60-pin connector, J6. There are two round standoffs next to J6 with Phillips-head screws.
5.5-V net on the ADS1285EVM-PDK on the board. The EEPROM on the ADS1285EVM-PDK uses a 3.3-V power supply, ID_PWR, generated directly by the PHI. The 3.3-V supply to the digital section of the ADC (3V3_IOVDD) is provided directly by a separate LDO on the PHI.
AVSS TPS7A3001DRBR Figure 5-2. ADS1285EVM-PDK Unipolar and Bidirectional Supplies Selection (Schematic) AVDD1 is used as the supply for the REF6241, which is a high-precision voltage reference with an integrated high-bandwidth buffer in reference to AVSS. The voltage reference can be used to supply the positive reference, VREFP, for the ADC and DAC using R38 as a pass transistor.
ADS1285. This configuration minimizes potential errors from using separate references between the devices. However, most of the DAC1282 documentation is in reference to a 5-V supply where the ADS1285EVM-PDK uses a 4.096-V reference by default. As a result, the DAC output amplitude is scaled in reference to the 4.096-V...
After unpacking, the EVM is already configured with the default jumper settings. Figure 7-1 shows the locations for the default jumpers and Table 7-1 shows the functions of the default shunts.

ADS1285EVM-PDK Initial Setup As part of the ADS1285EVM-PDK GUI installation, a prompt with a device driver installation (as shown in Figure 7-3) appears on the screen. Click Next to proceed. Figure 7-3. Device Driver Installation Wizard Prompts Note A notice may appear on the screen stating that Windows cannot verify the publisher of this driver software.
Figure 8-1. EVM GUI Global Input Parameters There are four pages available in the ADS1285EVM-PDK GUI. The information area displays the results of each of the pages. Each of these pages display a different control or measurement of the device. The Register Map Config page reads and writes the registers of the device.
