ADS1672EVM and ADS1672EVM-PDK User's Guide
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).
The EVM allows evaluation of all aspects of the ADS1672 device using a standard serial CMOS interface.
A complete circuit description, schematic diagram, and bill of materials are included.

    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.
  • Page 11 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.
  • Page 12 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.
