1 Introduction
The ADS7038-Q1 EVM is a fully-assembled evaluation platform designed to highlight the ADS7038-Q1 features
and various modes of operation that make this device suitable for ultra-low-power, small-size sensor monitor
applications. The accompanying Precision ADC Motherboard (PAMBoard) development kit is used as a USB-toPC GUI communication bridge. This kit also serves as an example implementation of a master microcontroller
(MCU) to communicate with the ADS7038-Q1 device through a serial-peripheral interface (SPI).
Note
The ADS7038-Q1 EVM requires an external master controller to evaluate the ADS7038-Q1 device.
The PAMBoard is controlled by commands received from the ADS7038-Q1 GUI, and returns data to the GUI for
display and analysis. If the PAMBoard is not used, the EVM plug-in module format allows for an alternative
external host to communicate with the ADS7038-Q1 by easily connecting through a pin header. The ADS7038Q1 device incorporates all required circuitry and components with the following features:
•
•
•
•
•
ADS7038-Q1 small general purpose, feature integrated, eight-channel ADC
Buffered analog input drive circuit available on channel 0
External power-supply connection available to provide DVDD power supply instead of the USB power
Adjustable linear regulator, TPS78001, to generate stable output voltage to AVDD from the 5-V USB power
from the PAMBoard
SPI for communication and configuration of modes

2 ADS7038Q1EVM-PDK Overview
This section describes various onboard components that are used to interface the analog input, general purpose
inputs/outputs (GPIOs), digital interface, and provide power supply to the ADS7038-Q1 device.
Figure 2-1 shows an ADS7038Q1EVM-PDK board overview.
Figure 2-1. ADS7038Q1EVM-PDK Top Layer Overview
2.1 Connections to Input Channels
The ADS7038Q1EVM-PDK is designed for easy interface to an external, analog single-ended source, or to
GPIOs through a 100-mil header. Connector J5 provides a connection to the device channels. Table 2-1 lists the
channel connections. The AIN0 channel features an operational amplifier, TLV9061, to drive the analog input.
This is further explained in Section 4. Channels AIN1 through AIN6 have a resistor and capacitor filter circuit to
condition the analog input, as Figure 1-1 shows. Channel 7 is hardware configured to demonstrate GPIO
functionality. GPIO7 has a resistor and light-emitting diode (LED) to visibly demonstrate and monitor digital
output channel state. The LED illuminates when the GPIO7 is logic LOW.

2.2 Digital Interface
As noted in Section 1, the ADS7038Q1EVM interfaces with the PAMBoard, which in turn communicates with the
computer over the USB. The two devices on the EVM that communicate over SPI are the ADS7038-Q1 ADC
(U3) and the electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) (U4). The EEPROM is
preprogrammed with the information required to configure and initialize the ADS7038 platform. Once the
hardware is initialized, the EEPROM is no longer used.
2.3 ADS7038Q1EVM-PDK PAMBoard Interface
The ADS7038Q1EVM-PDK supports the digital SPI and functional modes as detailed in the ADS7038 Small, 8Channel, 12-bit ADC with SPI Interface, GPIOs, and CRC data sheet. The PAMBoard is capable of operating at
a 3.3-V logic level and is directly connected to the digital I/O lines of the ADC.
2.4 Power Supplies
The device supports a wide range of operation on its analog supply. The AVDD can operate from 3 V to 5.5 V.
The DVDD operates from 1.65 V to 5.5 V, independent of the AVDD supply. A voltage regulator available on the
PAMBoard is used to create a regulated 5-V supply for the EVM. AVDD is created from this supply using a lowdropout (LDO) voltage regulator to create a clean +3.3 V. DVDD is provided directly from the PAMBoard at 3.3 V.
There is an option to use an external power supply for DVDD through J2.

ADS7038Q1EVM-PDK Initial Setup
3 ADS7038Q1EVM-PDK Initial Setup
The instructions to set up the ADS7038Q1EVM-PDK are described in the following sections.
3.1 EVM Plug-In Hardware Setup Instructions
The EVM and PAMboard should come packaged together. If they are not, for correct functionality, the boards
need to be installed together properly.
To install the EVM to the PAMboard, stack the ADS7038Q1EVM board on the PAMBoard. Make sure the 20-pin
connector (J1, J3) on the ADS7038Q1EVM is mapped to left connector on the PAMBoard, and the EVM
connector (J4, J2) is mapped to right connector on the PAMBoard. The silk screen on the ADS7038-Q1 must
match with the PAMBoard. Figure 3-1 shows the correct installation. The board headers must be flush. Make
sure the USB is not plugged in during board connections. After matching the boards together, connect the
PAMBoard micro USB data port to an available USB port on the PC.

3.3.2 ADS7038 Functional Configuration
As Figure 3-5 shows, the ADS7038Q1EVM device configuration tab has two sections. The left section lists the
multiple functions the user can configure. These options enable the user to navigate through the various
functions of the ADS7038 in a structure and clear manner. The main section displays the configuration options
for each function.
The Device Configurations available are: Mode Configuration, Channel Selection, Channel Configuration,
Averager&Statistics, and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
Figure 3-5. Device Configuration tab
3.3.2.1 Device Mode Configuration
The ADS7038 can operate in four sampling modes. The mode configuration tab (Figure 3-5) allows the user to
select the device mode of operation.
The ADS7038 device has the following sampling modes:
•
•
•
•
Manual Mode: Allows the external host processor to directly request and control when data is sampled. The
host provides SPI frames to control conversions and the captured data are returned over the SPI bus after
each conversion.
Auto-Sequence Mode: The host can configure the device to scan through the enabled analog input channels.
The host must provide continuous clocks (SCLK) to the device to scan through the channels and to read the
data from the device. The MUX automatically switches through the predetermined channel sequence, and the
data conversion results are sent through the data bus.
On-the-Fly Mode: The first 5 bits of SDI select the first channel to be sampled before the CS rising edge.
There is no latency between channel selection and ADC output data since the ADC samples the next channel
on the rising edge of CS.
Autonomous Mode: In autonomous mode, the device can be programmed to monitor the voltage applied on
the analog input pins of the device and generate an ALERT signal internal to the device when the
programmable high or low threshold values are crossed.
The device powers up in manual mode and can be configured into any of the functional modes by writing the
configuration registers for the desired mode.

3.3.2.2 Channel Selection
The channel selection configuration option allows the user to configure each of the 8 channels. The default
configuration is analog input, but through the drop-down options, each channel can be configured as a digital
input or output instead. If using Auto Sequence mode, individual channels can be selected to be included in the
sequence, by checking Select for Auto-Seq. The EVM hardware has channel 7 hardwired as a digital output with
an LED connected to channel 7 to visually display a high or low digital output state.
To configure for a digital function, change the Pin-Config drop down and select Digital. A second drop-down
option will appear in line with the channel, I/O Config. This drop-down option allows to select Input or Output
functionality. If output functionality is selected, as shown for channel 7 in Figure 3-6, configuration options will
appear in line with the channel. User will be able to select the Pin Value as high or low, and the Pin Type as open
drain or push pull. The EVM has an LED connected to channel 7 to display this functionality; changing the Pin
Value on channel 7 will turn on or off the LED (D2). As an example to help use the GUI and for Figure 3-6, and
throughout the remainder of this document, channel 0 to 5 will be selected as analog inputs, channel 6 as a
digital input, and channel 7 as a digital output.

3.3.5 Register Map
Figure 3-17 shows the register map for the ADS7038 device. On the top right corner are options to read registers
individually or read all the registers, or write an individual register. Users can choose to have the register values
modified in the GUI to be written on the device instantaneously by selecting the Immediate Write option or later
using the Deferred Write drop-down option. In the field view, the registers are broken down into the configurable
bits it controls. When making changes in the Field View, the bit being changed is highlighted in yellow in the
register map.
The register settings can also be saved in an external file to be loaded back into the GUI through the File →
Save Registers menu selection. This allows for different setting configurations to be saved and easily
implemented into the GUI by loading it back through the File → Load Registers menu item.
The register configurations can also be saved as a comma-separated values (CSV) file containing the register
address and content as configured in the GUI. This allows the user to configure the device easily through the
GUI as desired, and then export the respective register addresses and content to reference when creating
firmware.

Input Signal-Conditioning Circuitry on the ADS7038Q1EVM
4 Input Signal-Conditioning Circuitry on the ADS7038Q1EVM
For applications where the input signal requires additional conditioning or drive strength before the ADC input,
the ADS7038Q1EVM has an onboard ADC path on channel 0. The input signal header, J5 is connected to the
amplifier input, TLV9061. By default, this signal-conditioning block is populated on the evaluation board as a
non-inverting buffer using the TLV9061 device. The board has a provision to bypass the operational amplifier
(U5) based on the signal conditioning requirement. To bypass this block, remove the R21 0-Ω resistor and
populate R26. See the Schematics section for more details. Figure 4-1 displays a simplified CH0 input drive
circuit.
