document, the abbreviation EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with the
ADS8638EVM. For clarity of reading, the rest of this manual will refer only to the ADS8638EVM or
ADS8638EVM-PDK, but operation of the EVM and kit for the ADS8614, ADS8618, and ADS8634 is
identical, unless otherwise noted.
1.2
Introduction
The ADS8638 is a 12-bit, eight-channel, 1-MHz SAR ADC with a serial peripheral interface (SPI™). The
ADC uses a capacitor-based switching method to create an adjustable input voltage range option.
Additionally, the device features two preset alarms with hysteresis per channel. During normal operation,
the ADS8638 dissipates a mere 22.5 mW at 5-V AVDD and ±15-V high voltage supplies.
The ADS8638EVM is an evaluation module built to the TI Modular EVM System specification. It can be
connected to any modular EVM system interface card.
The ADS8638EVM is available as a stand-alone printed circuit board (PCB) or as part of the
ADS8638EVM-PDK, which includes an MMB0 motherboard and software. As a stand-alone PCB, the
ADS8638EVM is useful for evaluating designs and firmware.
Note that the ADS8638EVM has no microprocessor and cannot run software. To connect it to a computer,
some type of interface is required.

Power Options
JP3 is in place for current measurement in order to regulate the power consumption of the ADS8638.
When current measurement is not taking place, jumpers must be applied across many of the jumpers to
properly power the ADC. Table 5 lists the power option details for JP3.

ADC +1.8 VD
Supply current measurement point for 1.8V
digital supply rail. Must be connected for
ADC use with DVDD = 1.8 V. Do not
connect if +3.3-VD jumper is installed.
The ADS8638EVM has the option to either set +1.8 VD or +3.3 VD as the ADS8638 DVDD supply. Install
a jumper across pins 9-10 to set DVDD = 3.3 V, or install a jumper across pins 11-12 to set DVDD =
1.8 V.
CAUTION
Do not install both jumpers. Doing so may cause damage to the board or ADC
device itself.
4.2
Reference Voltages
The ADS8638EVM can be configured to use the internal reference voltage found within the chip, an
onboard REF5025 reference source, or use the option to input an external reference source. Jumper JP2
is used to route the reference signal to the ADC. When placed in the 1-2 position, the onboard REF5025
is used as the reference signal. When placed in the 2-3 position, an outside external reference can be
applied to J1.20 on the analog header to feed the ADC reference. If the ADC internal reference is
enabled, the shunt on jumper JP2 must be either in the 2-3 position or left disconnected. This
configuration ensures that the REF5025 source is not driving the ADS8638 reference pin when the pin is
configured as an output.

The Data Rate control on the main plug-in window sets the data rate for the ADS8638. Changing the data
rate controls the time between sequential conversions once the acquisition period begins.
In the Basic Settings window, the Operating Mode and Input Range options are available. The plug-in was
designed to only use auto-mode channel sequencing, and therefore manual mode is not selectable. The
input range option allows the user to select the desired analog input voltage range from +5 V, +10 V,
±2.5 V, ±5 V, or ±10 V. This setting becomes the range for all the channels that are enabled at the time of
data acquisition.
The Power Blocks window includes buttons to enable the internal reference voltage and the internal
temperature sensor. By default, these two options are disabled and are enabled once the appropriate
button is selected.
The About this plug-in tab has the plug-in version history along with the firmware version. The Notes
indicator shows manufacturing information about the EVM that is stored in the EVM EEPROM, and may
show relevant notes about the plug-in or firmware code, if any.
At the bottom of the Device Config window is the PowerDown button. Use this button to direct the
processor to write the command that puts the ADC into power-down mode.
7.1.2
Channels 1-4 Tab and 5-8 Tab
These two tabs, as shown in Figure 10, are used to enable/disable the ADC channels as well as configure
the alarm states. By default, all of the eight channels are disabled. Before an acquisition can be
performed, at least one channel must be enabled. Once a channel is enabled, the alarm high and alarm
low thresholds can be set along with the respective hysteresis limits. As the converted result exceeds the
alarm threshold, the LED found on the EVM board should turn on to indicate an alarm.
As multiple channels are enabled, the effective data rate decreases. The ADS8638 uses an architecture
that relies on an internal cycling mux, requiring the conversions to be completed in a sequential order
rather than simultaneously. The data rate displayed in the top right corner of the plugin refers to all
enabled channels to be converted.

GPIO & Alarms Tab
The GPIO & Alarms tab (as shown in Figure 11) includes some of the additional options found within the
ADS8638. Here, the software provides access to setting the GPIO as either a power-down input or an
alarm state output. This I/O line is routed to the onboard LED on the evaluation board to indicate when the
alarm is active.
Figure 11. GPIOs & Alarms Tab
The Temperature control is used to read back the temperature control and enable high and low alarms
along with hysteresis. When reading back the temperature reading, the result is read back in codes where
it must be converted to a temperature using the parameters described in the ADS8638 product data sheet.
The high and low alarms, along with hysteresis settings, behave the same way that the analog input
channel alarm settings do.

After an acquisition, the Read Alarms button allows the user to read back the specific alarms that
reported a fault. When the button is pressed, the firmware uses the sticky register read command; once
the alarms are read, they are set back to zero. Each channel has two alarms, a high alarm and a low
alarm; both are placed side by side in the alarm list. When the Read Alarms button is pressed, the LED
corresponding to the alarm limit that was breached is enabled.

Collecting Data
Once you have configured the ADS8638 for your test scenario, press the ADCPro Acquire button to start
the collection of the number of data points specified in the Test plug-in Block Size control. The
ADS8638EVM-PDK plug-in disables all the front panel controls while acquiring, and displays a progress
bar.

to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
