EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
POWER SUPPLIES
The following external supplies must be provided:
•
5 V between the 5 V and 0 V inputs for the digital supply
of the
AD5422
and digital circuitry. Alternatively, place
LK6 in Position A to power the digital circuitry from the
USB port (default).
•
10.8 V to 40 V between the AV
analog supply of the AD5422.
•
0 V to −26.4 V between the AV
negative analog supply of the AD5422. (This is only required
if a bipolar output voltage range is programmed; otherwise,
the negative supply of the
GND by placing LK4 in Position A.)
•
10.8 V to 16.5 V between the V+ and GND inputs for the
analog supply of the
AD7321
converter [ADC]) and
ADR435
If the analog supply connected to the AV
16.5 V, the
AD7321
and
by placing LK9 in Position A, and the V+ input can be left
unconnected.
•
0 V to −16.5 V between the V− and GND inputs for the
negative analog supply of the
the negative analog supply connected to the AV
less than (magnitude) −16.5 V, the
from this by placing LK16 in Position A, and the V− input
can be left unconnected.
The analog and digital planes are connected at one location, close
to the AD5422. It is recommended not to connect GND and
DGND elsewhere in the system to avoid ground loop problems.
Each supply is decoupled to the relevant ground plane with 10 µF
and 0.1 µF capacitors. Each device supply pin is again decoupled
with a 10 µF and 0.1 µF capacitor pair to the relevant ground plane.
Excessive Power Supply
If a power supply in excess of 16.5 V is connected to the AV
input, LK9 must be in Position B to prevent potential damage to the
5 V voltage reference and to the ADC (see U2 and U6, respectively,
in Figure 6). However, if a power supply in excess of −16.5 V is to
be connected to the AV
input, LK16 must be in Position B to
SS
prevent potential damage to the ADC.
LINK OPTIONS
The position of LK7 configures the board for either PC control via
the USB port (default setup) or for control by an external source
via J8. Set the link options on the evaluation board for the required
operating setup before using the board. The functions of the link
options are described in Table 4.
