ADS5517EVM

EVAL MODULE FOR ADS5517

1    Overview

This evaluation module (EVM) user's guide gives an overview of the EVM and provides a general

description of the features and functions to be considered while using this module.

This EVM user's guide applies to multiple EVMs:

• ADS61x9 family:– ADS6128, ADS6148, ADS6129, ADS6149, ADS61B29, ADS61B49

• ADS556x family:– ADS5560, AD5562

• ADS55xx family:– ADS5517, ADS5525, ADS5527, ADS5545, ADS5546, ADS5547.

1.1     Purpose 

The ADS61x9/55xx EVM provides a platform for evaluating the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) under various signal, clock, reference, and power supply conditions. Use this document in combination with the EVM schematic diagram supplied.

1.2     EVM Quick-Start Procedure

The ADS61x9/55xx EVM provides numerous options for providing clock, input frequency and power to the ADC under evaluation. The quick start procedure describes how to quickly get initial results using the default configuration of the EVM as it was shipped. The EVM can be put back to default configuration by setting all jumpers the default values as described in Table 1. The default configuration of the EVM is for the Input Frequency (IF) and the clock input is for each to be a single-ended input that is transformer-coupled to the ADC. The default configuration for the power supply is to provide a single 5V supply to the red banana jack J7, PWR_IN. The default configuration for the EVM is to control the modes of operation by jumper settings for parallel input control pins rather than serial SPI control of the register space. The other modes of operation of the EVM are described in the latter sections of this document.
