ABSTRACT
ADS8688EVM-PDK
This user's guide describes the operation and use of the ADS8688 evaluation module (EVM). The ADS8688 is a
16-bit, 500ksps, 8 channel multiplexed, single-supply, SAR ADC with bipolar input ranges. Operating on a single
5V the integrated analog front end can support ±10.24V input ranges with a ±20V over-voltage protection. The
performance demonstration kit (PDK) eases EVM evaluation with additional hardware and software for computer
connectivity through a universal serial bus (USB). The ADS8688EVM-PDK includes the ADS8688EVM as a
daughter card, Precision Host Adaptor (PHI) digital controller, and a A-to-B USB cable. This user's guide covers
circuit description, schematic diagram, and bill of materials for the ADS8688EVM daughter card.

EVM Analog Interface

3 EVM Analog Interface
The ADS8688EVM is an evaluation module built to the TI Modular EVM system specifications. The EVM by itself
has no microprocessor and cannot run software. Thus, the EVM is available as part of the ADS8688EVM-PDK
kit that combines the ADS8688EVM as a daughter board with PHI controller using software as a graphical user
interface (GUI).
3.1 ADC Analog Input Connections and Filter
The circuit shown in Figure 3-1 shows a typical analog input connection for the ADS8688 ADC. This circuit is
reapeated eight times for all eight input channels. The resistor R01 can be used for input float detection but
is not populated in the default configuration. The TVS diode D01, can be used for input protection, but is not
populated. Refer to Video Series on Electrical Overstress. C01, R03, and R04 form the 79.5kHz low pass input
the input filter for the ADC. R05 connects the negative input to ground. R05 can be removed and the negative
input can be accessed in the header J6.

3.2 Voltage Reference, Aux Input, and Supply Decoupling
The circuit shown in Figure 3-2 illustrates the decoupling on AVDD, DVDD, and the reference IO. It is possible
on the ADS8688 to use an external voltage reference, but typically the integrated internal reference is sufficient.
In cases where you need to use an enthral voltage reference it can be connected via the REF test point. The
capacitors for decoupling match the recomendations in the ADS8688 data sheet. The layout (see Figure 8-1)
uses the shortest possible connections to the decouplign capacitors and connections the ground end to the GND
plane using vias. The AUX input is a standard SAR input and does not have an analog front end. Thus, this input
cannot accept high voltage input signals (Vin Full Scale = VREF = 4.096V). Furthermore, this input requires an
external buffer amplifier U4 to achieve good settling.

Digital Interface

4 Digital Interface
As noted in Section 2, the EVM interfaces with the PHI and communicates with the computer over the USB.
There are two devices on the EVM with which the PHI communicates: the ADS8688 ADC (over SPI) and the
EEPROM (over I2C). The EEPROM comes pre-programmed with the information required to configure and
initialize the ADS8688 platform. When the hardware is initialized, the EEPROM is no longer used.

4.2 I2C Bus for Onboard EEPROM
The circuit shown in Figure 4-1 is used with our EVM controller (PHI), for EVM identification. This circuit is not
required by the ADS8688 for operation. The switch (S2) is a write protect and does not need to be changed for
EVM operation.

Power Supplies
5 Power Supplies
The PHI provides multiple power-supply options for the EVM, derived from the USB supply of the computer. The
EEPROM on the ADS8688EVM uses a 3.3-V power supply generated directly by the PHI. The EVM_REG_5V5
is a 5.5V supply from the PHI and is applied to the input of a low dropout regulator (LDO) to generate AVDD
on the EVM. The analog supply of the ADC (AVDD = 5.0V) is powered by the TPS7A4700RGWR (U3). The
ADC Digital supply (DVDD = 3.3V), is generated by the PHI. Two LEDs are connected to the AVDD, and DVDD
supplies. These LEDs will illuminate after the software GUI loads and the PHI turns on its output power supplies.

7 EVM Operation
The following instructions are a step-by-step guide to connecting the ADS8688EVM to the computer and
evaluating the performance of the ADS8688:
7.1 Connecting the Hardware
After installing the software connect the EVM as shown in Figure 7-1
1. Physically connect P2 of the PHI to J2 of the ADS8688EVM. Install the screws to assure a robust connection
2. Connect USB on PHI to the computer first
• LED D5 on the PHI lights up, indicating that the PHI is powered up
• LEDs D1 and D2 on the PHI start blinking to indicate that the PHI is booted up and communicating with
the PC; Figure 7-1 shows the resulting LED indicators
3. Start the software GUI as shown in Figure 7-2. You will notice that the LEDs blink slowly as the FPGA
firmware is loaded on the PHI. This will take a few seconds then the AVDD and DVDD power supplies will
turn on.
4. Connect the signal generators to SMA inputs or headers (8 channels available). The input range is ±10.25V.

7.2 Modifying Hardware and Using Software to Evaluate Other Devices in the Family
The ADS8688 is part of a family of related devices. This EVM hardware and software support the entire family
because all the devices are pin-for-pin compatable. Table 7-1 lists other compatible devices in the family. The
following procedure shows how to modify the hardware and software to evaluate the other devices in this family.
1. Desolder the ADS8688 and replace this device with the device you want to evaluate.
2. Enable the EEPROM for writing. This process is done by changing switch S2 to the top position using
tweezers.Figure 7-3 details this process.
3. Connect the EVM and start the GUI as described in Section 7.1.
4. Use the Tools menu to Load EEPROM according to the device that is currently installed. When this
procedure is successfully completed, you will see the status bar at the top of the software update according
to the device installed on the hardware. For details, see Figure 7-4.

7.4 Time Domain Display
The time domain display tool allows visualization of the ADC response to a given input signal. This tool is
useful for both studying the behavior and debugging any gross problems with the ADC or drive circuits. The
user can trigger a capture of the data of the selected number of samples from the ADS8688EVM, as per the
current interface mode settings indicated in Figure 7-6 by using the Capture button. The sample indices are on
the x-axis and there are two y-axes showing the corresponding output codes as well as the equivalent analog
voltages based on the specified reference voltage. Switching pages to any of the Analysis tools described in the
subsequent sections causes calculations to be performed on the same set of data.

7.5 Frequency Domain Display
The spectral analysis tool, shown in Figure 7-7, is intended to evaluate the dynamic performance (SNR, THD,
SFDR, SINAD, and ENOB) of the ADS8688 ADC through single-tone sinusoidal signal FFT analysis using the 7term Blackman-Harris window setting. The FFT tool includes windowing options that are required to mitigate the
effects of non-coherent sampling (this discussion is beyond the scope of this document). The 7-Term Blackman
Harris window is the default option and has sufficient dynamic range to resolve the frequency components of up
to a 24-bit ADC. The None option corresponds to not using a window (or using a rectangular window) and is not
recommended.

7.6 Histogram Display
Noise degrades ADC resolution and the histogram tool can be used to estimate effective resolution, which
is an indicator of the number of bits of ADC resolution losses resulting from noise generated by the various
sources connected to the ADC when measuring a DC signal. The cumulative effect of noise coupling to the
ADC output from sources such as the input drive circuits, the reference drive circuit, the ADC power supply,
and the ADC itself is reflected in the standard deviation of the ADC output code histogram that is obtained by
performing multiple conversions of a DC input applied to a given channel. As shown in Figure 7-8, the histogram
corresponding to a DC input is displayed on clicking the Capture button.
