EVM Overview
www.ti.com
1.2
Introduction
The ADS1256EVM, shown in Figure 1, is an evaluation module built to the TI Modular EVM System
specification. It can be connected to any Modular EVM System interface card.
The ADS1256EVM is available as a stand-alone printed circuit board (PCB) or as part of the
ADS1256EVM-PDK, which includes an MMB0 motherboard and software. As a stand-alone PCB, the
ADS1256EVM is useful for prototyping designs and firmware.
Note that the ADS1256EVM has no microprocessor and cannot run software. To connect it to a computer,
some type of interface is required.
If you intend to use the ADS1255 in your application, use the ADS1256EVM for evaluation and test
purposes. The ADS1255 is in a smaller package, and lacks inputs AIN2 through AIN7; otherwise, it is
identical to the ADS1256.
Figure 1. ADS1256EVM
1.3
Built-In Accessories
The ADS1256EVM includes a system clock crystal and a low-noise voltage reference. Both are optional;
you can select an external system clock and an external reference using slide switches.
The +2.5V reference circuit is based on a REF5025 buffered by an OPA350 and filtered by a large
tantalum electrolytic capacitor. While its noise performance is not sufficiently low to allow the ADS1256 to
perform at its lowest noise level at all data rates, the circuit can closely approach this limit, and is
representative of the kind of reference circuit used in many applications.
1.4
Connectors
The ADS1256 device on the ADS1256EVM is connected through four headers: the analog connector, the
serial connector, the power connector, and the GPIO header. This section describes the respective
pinouts and locations for the connectors and header.
The analog connector (J1) carries analog I/O. The ADS1256 has a nine-input multiplexer connected
through pins 1 through 8 and 10. An optional external differential reference can be connected to pins 18
and 20.
The serial connector (J2) carries the ADS1256 serial digital interface, an optional external system clock
signal, and an I2C™ connection to the onboard serial EEPROM.

EVM Overview
www.ti.com
The power connector (J3) carries the power supplies. The ADS1256EVM requires a +5V analog supply
and a +1.8V to +3.3V digital supply. The board is designed using a single ground net connected to DGND.
An AGND pin is also provided. Power options are routed through J4, J9, and J10.
The GPIO header (J5) provides a connection to the four GPIO pins on the EVM.
The ADS1256 uses separate supplies for its analog and digital sections. A jumper is inserted in each
supply line. These jumpers allow the current of each supply to be measured independently.
1.5
Controls
The ADS1256EVM is configured using four slide switches and a jumper.
Switches S1 and S2 select the input signal provided to the first four multiplexer inputs on the ADS1256.
Normally you will use the external input, but you can also use the switches to short the inputs together and
to connect the reference voltage to the inputs. Additionally, the latter two positions are useful for
conducting noise and functional tests.
Switch S3 selects the reference input. One position selects the external reference input pins on the analog
connector (J1). The other two positions connect the onboard +2.5V reference in one of two ways: between
ground and the reference, or between the reference and the analog supply.
Switch S4 selects the system clock source for the ADS1256. You can select between the onboard
7.68MHz crystal or an external clock.
All switches and their settings are additionally described in later sections of this user guide.

Analog Interface
For maximum flexibility, the ADS1256EVM is designed for easy interfacing to multiple analog sources.
Samtec part numbers SSW-110-22-F-D-VS-K and TSM-110-01-T-DV-P provide a convenient 10-pin, dualrow, header/socket combination at J1. This header/socket provides access to the analog input pins of the
ADS1256. Consult Samtec at www.samtec.com or call 1-800-SAMTEC-9 for a variety of mating connector
options.
Most of the pins on J1 are directly connected, with minimal filtering or protection. Use appropriate caution
when handling these pins. Table 1 summarizes the pinout for analog interface J1.

Serial Data Interface
The ADS1256EVM is designed to easily interface with multiple control platforms. Samtec part numbers
SSW-110-22-F-D-VS-K and TSM-110-01-T-DV-P provide a convenient 10-pin, dual-row, header/socket
combination at J2. This header/socket provides access to the digital control and serial data pins of the
TSC. Consult Samtec at www.samtec.com or call 1-800-SAMTEC-9 for a variety of mating connector
options.
All logic levels on J2 are 3.3V CMOS, except for the I2C pins, which conform to 3.3V I2C rules.
Some pins on J2 have weak pullup resistors. These resistors provide default settings for many of the
control pins. Most pins on J2 correspond directly to ADS1256 pins. See the ADS1256 product data sheet
for complete details on these pins. Table 2 describes the J2 serial interface pins.

In the EXT position, J1 pins 1 and 2 are connected to the ADS1256 AIN1 and AIN0 pins, respectively. In
the REF position, the reference is connected across the ADS1256 AIN0 and AIN1 pins. In the ZERO
position, both AIN0 and AIN1 are connected to the reference. This configuration gives a zero-scale
reading across AIN0 and AIN1.
The REF and ZERO positions are useful for noise tests.

The REF and ZERO positions are useful for noise tests.
7.1.3
Input Filtering Capacitors
The ADS1256EVM has pads for filtering capacitors on every input pair and for the reference input. Each
input pair has pads for two common-mode capacitors and one differential capacitor.
The ADS1256 has a flexible input multiplexer, so these capacitors do not always function as commonmode and differential signal filters. For example, when measuring a single-ended input, the common-mode
capacitors act to filter the signal.
The ADS1256EVM is shipped with only some of the capacitor pads populated. This configuration allows
the board to be immediately used to measure both differential and single-ended inputs. As shipped, inputs
AIN0 through AIN7 have 10nF differential mode capacitors installed. A differential 1μF capacitor is
connected to the reference near the reference pins.
The input filtering capacitors are in relatively large 1210-size packages, in contrast to most of the other
passives on the board. These capacitors were designed to be large so that you can easily remove them or
replace them with other values. By exercising appropriate care, you can even solder leaded devices to
these large pads.
7.2
Digital Control
The digital control signals can be applied directly to J6 (top or bottom side). The modular ADS1256EVM
can also be connected directly to a DSP or microcontroller interface board, such as the 5-6K Interface or
HPA-MCU Interface boards available from Texas Instruments, or the MMB0 if purchased as part of the
ADS1256EVM-PDK. For a list of compatible interface and/or accessory boards for the EVM or the
ADS1256, see the relevant product folder on the TI web site.
7.3
ADS1256EVM-PDK Power Supply
The analog portion of the ADS1256EVM can either be powered by a 5V source generated via ac adapter,
or by applying the +5VA to the connector on the MMB0 board. The MMB0 board will provide the digital 5V
and 3.3V to the ADS1256EVM. To provide +5VA to the ADS1256EVM from the MMB0 board, make sure
the jumper at J13 (on the MMB0) is closed from +5V to +5VA.

Evaluating Performance with the ADCPro Software
The evaluation software is based on ADCPro, a program that operates using a variety of plug-ins. (The
ADS1256EVM plug-in is installed as described in the installation section, Section 8.)
To use ADCPro, load an EVM plug-in and a test plug-in. To load an EVM plug-in, select it from the EVM
menu. To load a test plug-in, select it from the Test menu. To unload a plug-in, select the Unload option
from the corresponding menu.
Only one of each kind of plug-in can be loaded at a time. If you select a different plug-in, the previous
plug-in is unloaded.
9.1
Using the ADS1256EVM-PDK Plug-in
The ADS1256EVM-PDK plug-in for ADCPro provides complete control over all settings of the ADS1256. It
consists of a tabbed interface (see Figure 22), with different functions available on different tabs. These
controls are described in this section.
You can adjust the ADS1256EVM settings when you are not acquiring data. During acquisition, all
controls are disabled and settings may not be changed. When you change a setting on the ADS1256EVM
plug-in, the setting is immediately updated on the board.
If you unload and reload the plug-in, the software attempts to load settings from the board.
Settings on the ADS1256EVM correspond to settings described in the ADS1256 product data sheet; see
the ADS1256 data sheet (available for download at www.ti.com) for details.
In the upper left corner, the Averages control sets the ADS1256 averaging mode. This control may be set
to 1, 4, 16, or 64. Note that this is a setting for the ADS1256 device itself; no software averaging is done in
the ADS1256EVM-PDK plug-in.
The PGA pull-down menu controls the PGA gain in the ADS1256.
Because the effective data rate of the ADS1256 depends upon the settings of the multiplexer mode,
clocks, switch time delay, chopping, and averages, the Effective Data Rate indicator in the upper right
corner of the plug-in interface is always visible and updates whenever a setting that affects the data rate
changes.
The previous controls are all found at the top of the ADS1256EVM plug-in and shown in Figure 29.

Power and Reference Tab
The Power & Ref tab selects the reference input, the sensor detect magnitude, and the standby condition.
The VREF Source window has three pushbuttons that select the reference source and should correspond
with the reference setting for switch S3. OBL sets the reference input from AGND to VREF, while OBH
sets the reference input from VREF to AVDD. External sets the input from VREF– to VREF+ on the
analog input header. If the user applies an external reference, the Vref window can be set to calculate the
voltage when using the Multichannel Scope test plug-in.
The ADS1256 has sensor detect current sources that can be used to detect a burned out sensor. These
current sources are applied to the inputs internal to the ADC. The sensor detect current sources can be
set to 0.5mA, 2mA, 10mA, or turned off through using a series of pushbuttons.
To reduce the operating current when the device is not in use, the ADS1256 can be put into standby
mode with a pushbutton labeled Standby. Pressing the Wakeup button releases the ADS1256 from this
mode.
The Power & Ref tab is illustrated in Figure 33.
