Digital Interface
4 Digital Interface
As noted in
Section
1, the EVM interfaces with the PHI and communicates with the host over USB.
shows how the PHI communicates with two devices on the EVM: the ADS1258 using the serial peripheral
interface (SPI) and the EEPROM using the inter-integrated circuit (I
preprogrammed with the information required to configure and initialize the ADS1258EVM. When the hardware
is initialized, no further communication with the EEPROM is necessary and this device can be ignored by the
user.

provides test points for all digital signals to and from the PHI controller. The test points can be
connected to a logic analyzer for convenient visualization of the digital signals. These test points can also be
used to communicate with the ADS1258EVM using an external controller.
4.1 GPIO
The ADS1258 has eight dedicated GPIO pins. The EVM connects a 100-kΩ pulldown resistor to each GPIO pin.
These resistors prevent the pin voltage from floating because the default ADC settings configure each GPIO as
an input. Additionally, 49.9-Ω resistors are placed in series with each GPIO pin to limit current flow into the ADC.
All eight GPIO pins are terminated at header J7 for easy connection to external circuitry if desired.
