Nevertheless, the ADS5400EVM provides mechanisms for using the Reset/Sync input. The default configuration of the ADS5400EVM-CVAL provides for switch SW1 to assert a reset pulse to the Reset/Sync input pin. An LVDS buffer device converts the pulse from the switch to a differential input to the ADS5400HFS/EM.
Using the TI ADC SPI Interface By default, the ADS5400EVM-CVAL is configured to allow the register space in the ADS5400HFS/EM to be accessed by way of the TI ADC SPI User Interface. The TI ADC SPI User Interface has tabs across the top of the User Interface window to choose the family of ADC EVM.
Controlling the SPI Interface Using TI TSW1200 Software 2.0 The ADS5400EVM-CVAL provides an option for the TSW1200 to drive the SPI interface to perform register writes to the ADS5400HFS/EM register space. To enable this option, the 0-Ω resistors installed in locations R54, R78, and R82 must be removed and installed in locations R18, R38, and R72 instead.
