Related Documentation From Texas Instruments The following documents provide information regarding Texas Instruments integrated circuits used in the assembly of the MSC1200EVM. These docu- ments are available from the TI web site. The last character of the literature number corresponds to the document revision, which is current at the time of the writing of this User’s Guide.
MSC1200 Characteristics 1.1 MSC1200 Characteristics The MSC1200 is a precision 24-bit delta-sigma (∆Σ) analog-to-digital convert- er with an 8051 microcontroller and up to 8K of flash memory. It has eight fully differential or single-ended analog input channels. The delta-sigma architec- ture employed in the MSC1200 enables the device to achieve 22 bits of effec- tive resolution (0.45ppm RMS noise) at a data rate of 10Hz.

(5.5V to 15V) must be supplied to J2 (and pins 2-3 of JMP1) for proper operation. A 9V wall mount power supply is included with the MSC1200EVM to provide this power. When using USB communications, power is provided from the USB connector (J1) and pins 1-2 are connected on JMP1.
Chapter 2 Getting Started This chapter will guide you through unpacking the EVM and setting it up so you can begin using it immediately. Topic Page Unpacking the EVM ......... . . Default Configuration .

Unpacking the EVM 2.1 Unpacking the EVM After unpacking the MSC1200EVM kit, verify that you have received all of the items listed here: MSC1200EVM board 9V wall mount power supply 9-pin D-sub male-female 2m serial cable 2m A-B USB cable...
MSC1200EVM. (You do not have to connect the serial cable first; it is also acceptable to apply power to the board first.) When the board is properly pow- ered on, the two green power good indicator lamps near the power connectors will glow brightly.

C compilers. The Keil and Raisonance tools include a complete IDE with debug support. The TI Downloader is used to load the compiled HEX file into the MSC1200EVM. Install any of the compilers that you wish to use. Also, choose the TI Downloader.

Chapter 3 Operation This chapter describes each function of the MSC1200EVM, as well as how to use the accompanying software to program and use the MSC1200. Topic Page Jumpers ........... . .
Jumpers 3.1 Jumpers Table 3−2 shows a detailed summary of each jumper on the EVM. Table 3−1. Jumper Function Reference Setting/Pin Reference Function Default Subsection Designator (Information) JMP1 1 to 2 5V is supplied by USB 1−2 2 to 3 5V is supplied by U1 from J2 JMP2 1 to 2...
3.1.1 JMP1: 5V Power Source Select The MSC1200EVM can use either the USB or the voltage regulator U1 for the source of +5 volts. When the power is connected from the external 9V supply (wall mount) to J2, communications for the board are routed to the RS-232 signals associated with U4 (MAX3243).
Switch Configuration 3.1.8 JMP8: Yellow LED Enable When this jumper is inserted, the Yellow LED D6 is connected to port pin 3.5. The other side of D6 is connected to a 220Ω resistor which connects to the voltage. This 220Ω resistor provides the current limiting when the P3.5 is output as a low voltage.
Switch Configuration 3.3 I/O Connectors and Signals This section describes the various connectors on the MSC1200EVM. 3.3.1 J1: USB Type B Connector This connector is available for use with the second UART in the MSC1200. Only the TD and RD lines are used. The DTR pin is connected to the DSR pin and the RTS pin is connected to the CTS pin.
The host PC communicates with the MSC1200EVM through this connector, which is a 9-pin female D-shell type, pinned out in the usual manner. Certain of the flow control lines are used for special purposes by the MSC1200EVM board; these are described in Table 3−3.
Be very careful when connecting external power supplies to JMP5, JMP2 and JMP1. These connectors are not protected against reversed polarity. If they are connected backwards (that is, with reversed polarity), it is likely that the MSC1200EVM will be permanently damaged. Operation...

The Keil or Raisonance integrated software environments, combined with the TI Downloader program, provide a convenient system of program develop- ment, download and execution. Full source code for the MSC1200EVM test firmware is included on the CD− ROM. 3.4.3 Power Supply The board receives power through external power connectors J2, USB, or to the individual pins on JMP1, JMP2 or JMP5.
Chapter 4 Schematic and Layout This chapter contains the schematic drawings, PCB layouts and bill of materi- als for the MSC1200EVM board. Note: Board layouts are not to scale. These are intended to show how the board is laid out; they are not intended to be used for manufacturing MSC12000EVM PCBs.
