ADS1672EVM and ADS1672EVM-PDK User's Guide ADS1672EVM (Left) and ADS1672EVM-PDK (Right) This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS1672EVM, both by itself and as part of the ADS1672EVM-PDK. This evaluation module (EVM) is an evaluation platform for the ADS1672, a high-speed, single-channel, 24-bit, 625kHz delta-sigma analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
You can connect the ADS1672EVM through the MMB0 motherboard and then to a computer via an available USB port. This manual shows how to use the MMB0 as part of the ADS1672EVM-PDK, but does not provide technical details about the MMB0 itself.

=FPATH=is= Clock Source www.ti.com Digital Control Signal PIN Configuration, SW1 When using the I C function through U5 (with or without ADCPro connected), all SW1 switches should be in the OFF position (see Figure The data clock and data out communications are directed through P2. All remaining ADS1672 digital control pins are configured with SW1.
Figure 6. W2 and W3 Jumpers for External Modulator Clock Use as a Stand-Alone EVM The ADS1672EVM can be used as a stand-alone EVM, provided that the proper control signals are applied to serial input connector P2 (top or bottom side). The required power supplies (+5VA and +3.3VD) can be connected directly to J4 pins 3 and 9 or test points TP5 and TP7, respectively.

ADS1672EVM-PDK Power Supply The ADS1672EVM can be powered with the J4 connector or by attaching the MMB0 board. The MMB0 board provides the 5V and 3.3V power to the ADS1672EVM. Because the circuitry is provided on the ADS1672EVM, the complete system can be powered from the supplied +6V, 3A ac adapter.

The latest software is available from Texas Instruments' website at http://www.ti.com/. The CD-ROM shipped with the ADS1672EVM may not contain the latest software, but the ADCPro installer will check for updates when executed (if connected to the Internet), and then give you the option of downloading and installing the latest version.

After you have configured the ADS1672 for your test scenario, pressing the ADCPro Acquire button will start the collection of the number of data points specified in the test plug-in Block Size control. The ADS1672EVM-PDK plug-in disables all the front panel controls while acquiring data, and displays a progress bar as shown in Figure Figure 25.
