Reference
The ADS848x can operate with an external reference voltage in the range of 3 V up to 4.2 V. It generates
an on-chip 4.096-V reference voltage. The ADS848xEVM allows the user to select the external reference
voltage from three sources. The first option is to use the internally-generated 4.096 V from the ADC. The
other two options are to select from the onboard reference (U1) or a user-supplied voltage applied at pin
20 of P1. See
Table 2
The reference voltage provides the scale factor for the conversion result. The input voltage is measured
against the reference voltage. It is imperative the reference voltage be clean, low-noise, and
well-decoupled.
The default configuration uses the internal on-chip reference.

Digital Interface
The ADS848xEVM is designed for easy interfacing to multiple platforms. The digital interface input and
output signals of the converter are on connectors P2, P3, and J6. These connectors are 0.1-inch center,
plug and socket connectors that allow the user to plug the ADS848xEVM into the various motherboard
interface boards from Texas Instruments, or connect via ribbon cable to a variety of user development
boards.
