1.0. Introduction

The LMP91050 Design Kit (consisting of the LMP91050 Evaluation Board, the SPIO-4 Digital
Controller Board, the Sensor AFE software, and this user's guide) is designed to ease evaluation and
design-in of Texas Instrument's LMP91050 Configurable AFE for Nondispersive Infrared (NDIR).
Data capturing and evaluations are simplified by connecting the SPIO-4 Digital Controller Board (SPIO-4
board) to a PC via USB and running the Sensor AFE software. The data capture board will generate the
SPI signals to communicate to and capture data from the LMP91050. The user will also have the option
to evaluate the LMP91050 without using the SPIO-4 board or the Sensor AFE software.
The on board data converter will digitize the LMP91050's analog output, and the software will display
these results in time domain and histogram. The software also allows customers to write to and read from
registers, to configure the device's gain, output offset, and common mode voltage, and most importantly,
to configure and learn about the LMP91050.
This document describes the connection between the boards and PC, and provides a quick start for
voltage measurements. This document also describes how to evaluate the LMP91050 with and without
the SPIO-4 board and provides the schematic, board layout, and BOM.

    The following procedures show a quick method to assemble the LMP91050SDEVAL and perform a quick voltage reading. LMP91050 EVB Jumper Connections 1. The jumpers for this example application can be seen in Figure 3 and Table 1 2. The SPIO-4 board is properly setup out of the box (no assembly required).

Vout Dark: This value corresponds to the user measured value at the LMP91050 output (OUT) when input is shorted (IN = CMOUT). Tool will use this value to estimate LMP91050 input voltage (IN - CMOUT) on subsequent measurements.

    LMP91050. Without the SPIO-4 board, the Sensor AFE software for the LMP91050 cannot be used to capture and analyze data from the LMP91050SDEVAL. If the SPIO-4 board is not available but LMP91050 evaluation is desirable, then connect your own SPI signals to J1 of the LMP91050SDEVAL as seen below. Reference the LMP91050 datasheet for appropriate SPI timing diagrams.
