The MMB0 motherboard allows the ADS794xEVM to be connected to the computer via an available USB port. This manual shows how to use the MMB0 as part of the ADS794xEVM-PDK, but does not provide technical details about the MMB0 itself. ADCPro is a program for collecting, recording, and analyzing data from ADC evaluation boards. It is based on a number of plug-in programs, so it can be expanded easily with new test and data collection plug-ins. The ADS794xEVM-PDK is controlled by a plug-in running in ADCPro. For more information about ADCPro, see the ADCPro™ Analog-to-Digital Converter Evaluation Software User's Guide (literature number SBAU128), available for download from the TI web site. This manual covers the operation of both the ADS794xEVM and the ADS794xEVM-PDK. Throughout this document, the abbreviation EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with the ADS794xEVM. Operation of the EVM and kit for both the ADS7946 and the ADS7945 devices is identical, unless otherwise noted. 1.2 Introduction The ADS794xEVM is an evaluation module built to the TI Modular EVM System specifications. It can be connected to any modular EVM system interface card. The ADS794xEVM is available as a stand-alone printed circuit board (PCB) or as part of the ADS794xEVM-PDK, which includes an MMB0 motherboard and software. As a stand-alone PCB, the ADS794xEVM is useful for prototyping designs and firmware because it offers circuitry that meets the product data sheet specifications of either the ADS7946 or ADS7945 devices. The ADS7945 and ADS7946 are 14-bit, 2-MSPS ADCs with fully differential and pseudo-differential unipolar inputs, respectively. These devices operate at a 2-MSPS sample rate with a 16-clock SPI data frame that features both outstanding dc and excellent dynamic performance. These devices also include a two-channel input multiplexer and a low-power SAR ADC with an inherent sample-and-hold (S/H) input stage. During normal operation at 2 MSPS, the ADS794x dissipates a mere 11.6 mW. Note that the ADS794xEVM has no microprocessor and cannot run software. Therefore, some type of interface is required to connect the ADS794xEVM to a computer. In the ADS794xEVM-PDK kit, the MMB0 motherboard serves as the interface between the computer and the ADS794xEVM board.

SMA connectors allow the EVM to have input signals connected via coaxial cables. In addition, the Samtec connector provides a convenient 10-pin, dual-row, header/socket combination at P2. This header/socket provides access to the analog input pins of the ADS794x. Consult Samtec at http://www.samtec.com or call 1-800-SAMTEC-9 for a variety of mating connector options. All analog inputs are buffered by OPA836 high-speed operational amplifiers in order to properly drive the ADS794x ADC inputs. Use appropriate caution when handling these pins. Table 2 summarizes the pinout for analog interface P2. Table 2.

The ADS7945 uses two inputs per channel because of its fully differential inputs. The ADS7946 uses one input per channel for its pseudo-differential inputs. 4 ADS794xEVM and ADS794xEVM-PDK SBAU194B – August 2011 – Revised September 2017 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2011–2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated Analog Interface www.ti.com 2.1 ADS794xEVM Analog Inputs with ADS7945 Installed Each channel of the ADS7945 uses two OPA836 operational amplifiers to drive the fully differential inputs. The input signals can be applied to either the SMA or P2 header connectors. These operational amplifiers offset the input signal to use an inverting configuration with a single supply. The EVM Operation section explains in detail how this offset is used to allow bipolar signals for the ADS7945 with jumper J6. Figure 1 illustrates the ADS794xEVM analog inputs with the ADS7945 installed.

Because the serial clock (SCLK) frequency can be as fast as 40 MHz, the ADS794xEVM offers 47-Ω resistors between the SPI signals and P1 to aid with signal integrity. Typically, in high-speed SPI communication, fast signal edges can cause overshoot; these 47-Ω resistors slow down the signal edges in order to minimize signal overshoot. 3.2 ADS794x Channel Select as SDI (MISO) The ADS794x ADC offers direct control over the internal multiplexer using pin 11. The ADS794xEVM uses a flip-flop (see U9 in the attached schematic) to convert this pin into a typical SPI SDI (MOSI) pin. This architecture takes advantage of the SPI full-duplex data transmission sequence to control channel selection at the same time conversion data are acquired. The digital word 0x000 can be used to select channel 0, and the word 0xFFFF can be used to select channel 1. 3.3 I2C Bus for Onboard EEPROM The ADS794xEVM has an I2C bus to communicate with the onboard EEPROM that records the board name and assembly date. It is not used in any form by the ADS794x converter.

J3 in position 1-2 connects the digital power supply to +5 VD; position 2-3 connects the digital power supply to +3.3 VD. Without a jumper in J3, the digital power supply can be connected to +1.8 VD(P3.7) with a jumper wire to pin J3.2. The jumper in J3 must always be in position 2-3 (+3.3 VD) while using the MMB0 with the EVM. 4.3 Reference Voltages The ADS794xEVM uses a jumper in J2 to select between the internal (REF5040) and external voltage reference sources. J2 in position 1-2 selects the internal reference; position 2-3 selects the external reference. The selected reference is cleaned with a RC filter and buffered with a OPA350 operational amplifier. CAUTION Digital supply and reference voltage must be at or below the analog supply voltage at all times. 8 ADS794xEVM and ADS794xEVM-PDK SBAU194B – August 2011 – Revised September 2017 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2011–2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated EVM Operation www.ti.com 5 EVM Operation This section provides information on the analog input, digital control, and general operating conditions of the ADS794xEVM without the MMB0 motherboard. Software operation is presented in Section 7. 5.1 Analog Input The ADS794xEVM offers three different analog input modes, selectable with jumper J6 and the type of input signal. Note that the ADS794x converter by itself only allows dc-coupled unipolar signals. The two additional input modes are available because OPA836 operational amplifiers drive the analog inputs. It is preferable for external signal drivers or filters to have low output impedance to reduce gain errors. Mode 1: DC-Coupled Unipolar Inputs (J6 Closed) DC-coupled unipolar signals are typically produced by single-supply signal drivers. To allow dc-coupled unipolar signals, J6 should be closed. This mode allows an input signal range from 0 V to VREF for all EVM analog inputs. In this mode, the voltage read at the ADC is equal to (VREF – VIN). Mode 2: DC-Coupled Bipolar Inputs (J6 Open) DC-coupled bipolar signals are typically produced by dual-supply signal drivers. To allow dc-coupled bipolar signals, J6 should be open. This mode allows an input signal range from –VREF/2 to +VREF/2 for all EVM analog inputs. In this mode, the voltage read at the ADC is equal to (VREF/2 – VIN). Mode 3: AC-Coupled Inputs (J6 Closed) AC-coupled signals are typically produced by high-pass filters. To allow ac-coupled bipolar signals, J6 should be closed. This mode allows an input signal range from –VREF/2 to +VREF/2 for all EVM analog inputs. In this mode, the voltage read at the ADC is equal to (VREF/2 – VIN). 5.2 Digital Control The digital control signals can be applied directly to the P1 header (top or bottom side). The modular ADS794xEVM can also be connected directly to a DSP or microcontroller interface board, such as the 56K Interface or HPA-MCU Interface boards available from Texas Instruments, or the MMB0 if purchased as part of the ADS794xEVM-PDK. For a list of compatible interface and/or accessory boards for the EVM or the ADS794x, see the relevant product folder on the TI web site.

This program operates using a variety of plug-ins. 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. The following sections describe how to use ADCPro and the ADS794xEVM plug-in to acquire data. 7.1 About the MMB0 The MMB0 provides the USB interface between the PC and the ADS794xEVM. The MMB0 is a modular EVM system motherboard. It is designed around the TMS320VC5507, a DSP with an onboard USB interface from Texas Instruments. The MMB0 also has 16 MB of SDRAM installed. The MMB0 is not sold as a DSP development board, and it is not available separately. TI cannot offer support for the MMB0 except as part of an EVM kit. For schematics or other information about the MMB0, contact Texas Instruments. 7.2 Loading the ADS794xEVM-PDK Plug-in The ADS794xEVM-PDK plug-in for ADCPro provides complete control over all settings of the ADS794x. You can adjust the ADS794xEVM 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 ADS794xEVM plug-in, the setting immediately updates on the board. Settings on the ADS794xEVM correspond to settings described in the ADS794x product data sheet (available for download at http://www.ti.com); see the product data sheet for details. To load the ADS794xEVM plug-in, follow these steps. Step 1. Make sure the PDK kit is configured and powered up as explained in Section 6.3 and Section 6.4. Then, press the Reset button on the MMB0 (in the top right-hand corner) once to clear the board memory. Step 2. Start ADCPro from the Windows Start menu. Step 3. Load the ADS794xEVM plug-in from the ADCPro drop-down EVM menu; see Figure 10. Note that only one EVM plug-in can be loaded at a time. If a different plug-in is selected, the previous plug-in is unloaded. Step 4. When the plug-in is loaded, the plug-in searches for the board. A series of messages in the status area will indicate this action, eventually showing Select Device... The plug-in is now loaded and ready to work with the ADS794xEVM.

(2) Channel Select: This user input selects the channel to be sampled. (3) Data Rate: This control shows the data rate or sampling frequency used by the ADC to acquire data. (4) Power Down: This option controls the power-down mode of the ADC. (5) Device Interface Information: This option shows the SPI parameters that are in use while sampling data. These parameters should appear after a device is selected. (6) About: This control shows the plug-in version, MMB0 firmware version, ADS794xEVM assembly date, and ADS794xEVM board revision information. This information should appear after a device is selected. (7) Collection Bar: This feature shows the percentage of data collected during an acquisition session. 18 ADS794xEVM and ADS794xEVM-PDK SBAU194B – August 2011 – Revised September 2017 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2011–2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated ADS794xEVM-PDK Kit Operation www.ti.com 7.4 Loading the Test Plug-in Once the ADS794xEVM plug-in is configured in ADCPro, one of the four test plug-ins must be loaded in ADCPro using the drop-down Test menu, as shown in Figure 13. Note that only one Test plug-in can be loaded at a time. If a different plug-in is selected, the previous plug-in is unloaded. Figure 13. ADCPro Test Plug-ins There are four different test options available for the ADS794xEVM: • Data monitor: This test acquires data and exports it in table format as hexadecimal data. • MultiFFT: This test allows the user to acquire data and create an FFT graph of power vs. frequency to display data • MultiHistogram: This option acquires data and creates a histogram of code values. • MultiScope: This feature acquires data and displays it in a graph of voltage vs. time. For further details regarding how to set up and use the various test plug-ins, refer to the ADCPro User Guide. 7.5 Acquiring Data Once the ADS794xEVM is configured for the desired test scenario, press the Acquire button to start the data collection process; the software collects the number of data points specified in the Test plug-in Block Size control. While acquiring data, the ADS794xEVM plug-in disables all front panel controls, and the collection process bar displays the completion progress. 7.6 Troubleshooting If the ADS794xEVM plug-in cannot find the ADS794xEVM-PDK, press the RESET button on the MMB0 and try again. If ADCPro stops responding while the ADS794xEVM-PDK is connected, shut down and restart the ADCPro software. Also, try unplugging the USB cable from the PDK. Unload and reload the plug-in before reapplying power to the PDK.
