Evaluating the AD7150 Capacitance-to-Digital Converter
The board is connected to a PC via a standard USB interface.
The PC software allows the graphical display of real-time data,
modification of the AD7150 internal settings, and generally
assists in understanding the part features and performance.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This document describes the AD7150 evaluation board and PC
software.
Additional details about the AD7150—an ultralow power, 2-channel
capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC)—are available in the
AD7150 data sheet, which should be consulted in conjunction
with this document when using the EVAL-AD7150EBZ.
The flexible interface structure of the evaluation board allows it
to be connected in several useful configurations. For example,
the digital section of the evaluation board can be used independently as a convenient digital interface for a user’s own sensor
design PCB or as a module containing the AD7150. Alternatively,
an external microcontroller can be interfaced to the AD7150.
Therefore, the evaluation board can act as a complete analog
front end for creating and debugging software on the user’s own
digital platform.
More information about the Analog Devices, Inc., family of
CDC products can be found at www.analog.com/CDC.
EVALUATION BOARD DESCRIPTION
The AD7150 evaluation kit is a powerful tool for exploring and
evaluating the AD7150 features at many different levels.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
POWER SUPPLY
USB—External Connection
The AD7150 evaluation board is supplied by the USB interface,
and the LED labeled POWER on the board should turn on
when the board is connected.
The AD7150 evaluation board allows you to connect your own
specific AD7150 application board to the evaluation board via
Connector J5. This enables the PC evaluation software to evaluate
your application hardware using the AD7150 evaluation board
as only a USB-to-I2C digital interface, as shown in Figure 8
To use the AD7150 evaluation board, make sure that the link on
the supply header (J6) is in place.
AD7150 EVALUATION BOARD
I2C INTERFACE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
J5
The AD7150 evaluation board uses the circuitry shown in
Figure 6, which allows different digital interface configurations
by redirecting the I2C® signals—SDA and SCL—among the USB
microcontroller, the on-board AD7150, and external components
connected via J5.

is correctly established, the window shown in Figure 10 appears.
The USB indicator in the top right corner of the software window
turns on green, and the LED labeled RUN on the AD7150 evaluation board flashes in approximately 1 sec intervals.
DATA ACQUISITION WINDOW
Clicking the green Start Acquisition button in the AD7150
evaluation software window starts the data acquisition. The LED
labeled RUN on the evaluation board turns on, the RUN indicator
in the top right corner of the software window turns on red, and
graphs in the software start displaying the measured data.
The data displays and the traces in the graphs represent realtime data read from the AD7150.
Graphs
Reset AD7150
When Reset AD7150 is clicked, the software accesses AD7150
Register Address 0xBF to reset the part. See the AD7150 data
sheet for details on the serial interface.
Demo Setup
Clicking on Demo Setup configures the AD7150 to its default
settings, as shown in Figure 11.
Setup AD7150
When Clear Graphs is clicked, the graph and the graph history
are cleared.
Data Format and Units
Both displays show the data as hexadecimal codes read from the
AD7150 and translated to picofarads (pF). The graphs can show
the data in either hexadecimal codes or translated in picofarads.
To switch between these two modes, click Display pF. The
Display pF button switches to Display Code when clicked.
08798-010
Click Setup AD7150 to open the AD7150 setup window (see
Figure 11), which provides access to the AD7150 settings.
The graphs show the history of data of up to 65,536 samples.
You can modify the graph appearance. For example, the scale
can be modified by typing minimum and maximum numbers
when the autoscale is turned off. Place the cursor on the graph
and right-click the mouse to open the graph submenu, which
allows different individual graph settings.

SETUP WINDOW
AD7150EB Interface Configuration
Register Field
The AD7150 evaluation board digital interface can be configured
to several different modes. The following modes can be selected
from the AD7150EB Interface Configuration box in the AD7150
setup window:
The register section of the setup window (left portion of the
window) indicates the address, register name, and the current
content in hexadecimal form for each AD7150 register.
Reset AD7150
•
When Reset AD7150 is clicked, the software accesses AD7150
Register Address 0xBF to reset the part. See the AD7150 data
sheet for details on the serial interface.
•
Demo Setup
Clicking Demo Setup configures the AD7150 to its default
settings as shown in Figure 11.
Read AD7150
When Read AD7150 is clicked, the evaluation software reads
the current register content of the AD7150 registers and the
updates are shown in the setup window.
•
Read from File
When Read from File is clicked, a window opens to allow you
to read back previously saved settings from a text file.
Write AD7150
•
When Write AD7150 is clicked, the evaluation software writes
the current settings shown in the setup window into the
AD7150 registers.
Save to File
When Save to File is clicked, a window opens to allow the
current settings to be saved to a text file.
Selecting USB -> AD7150 connects the USB microcontroller
as the I2C bus master to the on-board AD7150. This option
is the default when running the evaluation software on a
PC and allows easy use of the evaluation board and the PC
software.
Selecting USB -> ext.con connects the USB microcontroller
as the I2C master to the I2C/outputs connector. This option
allows using a customer-specific board with the AD7150
and PC evaluation software, where the AD7150 evaluation
board acts only as a USB/I2C digital interface.
Selecting Ext -> AD7150 connects an external microcontroller
to control the AD7150 on the evaluation board. This option
is the default for the board after power-up. Therefore, the
AD7150 on the evaluation board can be accessed through
the I2C/outputs connector without using the USB microcontroller and PC software at all.
Selecting All connected connects the on-board AD7150
with both the on-board USB microcontroller and the
I2C/outputs connector. This mode is meant mainly for
debug purposes. The practical use of this option is limited,
however, because the USB microcontroller firmware does
not implement multimaster protocol on the I2C bus.
OK
When OK is clicked, the evaluation software writes the current
settings into the AD7150 registers, the setup window closes, and
the software returns to the data acquisition window.
Cancel
When Cancel is clicked, the evaluation software writes the
register settings that were buffered from the time the setup
window was opened to the AD7150 registers. The setup
window then closes, and the software returns to the data
acquisition window.

Threshold Sensitivity
The number of conversion cycles, NC, required for the timeouts
to elapse can be calculated using the following equation:
The Threshold Sensitivity box allows you to set a defined
sensitivity. This is defined as the distance between the data
average and the threshold in codes and is a fixed portion in the
range of the lower eight bits of the 12-bit CDC full-scale range
of 0xA000 codes (d40944). Therefore, it represents a different
capacitive input value for each capacitive input range.

Timeout Approaching, Timeout Receding
The Timeout Approaching box and Timeout Receding box
allow you to set a time after which the adaptive average and the
threshold adapt to a fast and seemingly permanent change in
input capacitance to ensure normal operation after the event.
The CapDAC Auto box enables the auto-DAC function, which
ensures that the data input stays within 25% to 75% of the selected
capacitive input range.
The CapDAC Value box contains the current CapDAC value
