EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 8 V to 40 V and the output
voltage range of 0 V and 5 V.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible
damage to the EVM. If there are questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI
field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or
possible permanent damage to the EVM. Please consult the EVM User’s Guide prior to
connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,
please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than
xxx°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above xxx°C as
long as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not
limited to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense
resistors. These types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the
EVM User’s Guide. When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation,
please be aware that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

1.4Analog Input
There are various options available to deliver the signal to the ADC:
- Single-ended via SMA connector at J6.
- Single-ended via socket strip/header at J1/P1 connector.
- Differentially via socket strip/header at J1/P1 connector.
The default configuration used by the EVM is shown in Figure 1−2. It provides
a convenient method to convert a single-ended bipolar signal into a differential
signal. The signal is centered on a common mode voltage derived from the
reference section of the EVM.

2.1.3Resetting the ADS1605 and ADS1606
Address selected
The ADS1605 and ADS1606 are synchronously reset on the EVM when the
RESET pin is asserted LOW. This can be accomplished by issuing a write
command (WR
) via the host system or momentarily depressing switch SW2.
Whichever option is chosen, the reset signal is then synchronized with the
modulator clock and is available for application to the RESET
Alternatively, the user can apply the RESET signal directly via W9.
2.1.4Out of Range Indication
LED D1 indicates if an out of range (OTR) event has occurred. This LED does
not affect the device’s performance. To clear the LED the device has to be
reset, either manually or via SW2.
2.1.5Interrupt Source
Some microprocessors only recognize falling edge interrupts; others only
recognize rising edge interrupts while others may be programmed to
recognize either. By using W11, the user can choose either rising edge
interrupts or falling edge interrupts.
Board-Level Control
pin of the device.
2.1.6Base Address and Chip Select
The EVM can be mapped into a memory location by setting a base address.
There are four possible base addresses for the EVM. The base address is set
by J8. When the logic state of the two external address signals matches the
logic state set-up by the two jumpers on J8 and the access is a valid memory
access, the EVM generates a CS
qualified as a read cycle or a write (RESET
equivalent to logic 0 on the corresponding address line. An uninstalled jumper
is equivalent to logic 1 on the corresponding address line.
The TMS320C6711 DSK provides two memory spaces for daughter boards.
The two memory-space enables (CE2 and CE3) are buffered versions of the
DSP outputs and are not generated by decode logic on the DSK. The 5−6K
EVM uses CE2 to indicate that the access is valid. This places the daughter
card at an address space beginning at A0000000.
The pinout for the EVM has been arranged to easily mate with a growing range
of interface adapters. The premise of this arrangement is to ensure a high
degree of modularity without committing the EVM to be used in only one
particular platform. The interface card that is available at this time is the 5−6K
interface card http://focus.ti.com/lit/ug/slau104/slau104.pdf
enables any TMS320C5000 DSP Platform or TMS320C6000 DSP
Platform based DSK with standard expansion connectors to connect to the
EVM. Figure 2−1 shows the arrangement of DSK, interface card and EVM.

2.3Data Connector Pinout
The data from the ADC is available at J2/P2. The assignment and function of
each pin is given in Table 2−5.
The ADS1605/6EVM board requires various power sources for operation.
- A dual ±6 Vdc supply for best performance of the analog front−end. If a ±6
Vdc supply is not readily available, a ±5 Vdc supply will be sufficient. This
voltage is delivered by P4/J4 pins 1 & 2.
- Two 5.0 Vdc supply
J One supply provides the power for the analog section of the ADC. This
voltage is delivered by P4/J4 pin 3.
J One supply provides the power for the digital I/O section of the ADC
and the EVM. This voltage is delivered by P4/J4 pin 10.
- A single 3.0 Vdc supply for the digital core, a 3.3 Vdc supply is acceptable.
This voltage is supplied via pin 9.
The simplest way to provide these voltages is to use the power connector
P4/J4 and derive the voltages elsewhere, preferably via a linear supply. The
pinout for this connector is shown below
The simplest way to provide these voltages is to use the power connector
P4/J4 and derive the voltages elsewhere, preferably via linear supplies.

Should the user decide to use a TI DSK, the digital requirements for pin 9 and
pin 10 can be supplied by the DSK via the 5−6K interface card. See Figure 3−1
for details.
A single 8−40-Vdc supply is required if the user does not wish to use the
internal voltage reference. This voltage can only be applied via J7 on the EVM,

In general there are two hardware directions that the user can take with the
EVM.
The EVM can be used on its own. Using the EVM in this manner obliges the
user to provide a custom digital interface between the EVM and a host system.
Users are responsible for ensuring proper timing requirements are met in
addition to providing any glue logic necessary. Users must also provide the
necessary analog interface and supply power to the EVM.
4.2DSP Interface
Depending upon the DSP that the user chooses, there are a number of TI
DSKs available. DSKs are DSP Starter Kits, and provide users with a DSP
starter system. They contain all the necessary hardware and software to
quickly begin prototype construction.
4.2.1TMS320C6711 Interface
4.2.1.1Example Program
This section is a step-by-step description of how to use one of the example
programs available. The goal of the program is to display the digitized analog
input of the ADS1605 on the PC, as shown in Figure 4−7.
The hardware is set-up as follows:
- TMS320C6711 DSK
- 5−6K Interface card
- ADS1605 EVM
Given this configuration, the hardware is assembled as shown in Figure 2.1.
The example program uses the driver files created with the Data Converter
Plug-in of Code Composer Studio, which can be downloaded from the TI’s
website at http://www.ti.com/sc/
dcplug−in . For the example programs
available with the ADS1605 EVM, the plug-in is not needed, as all the files are
provided.
The program itself performs the following steps:
- Initialization of global variables by calling the function dc_configure() with
the settings of the ADS1605. These settings are stored in the Ads1605_1
data structure (defined in the file t1605_fn.h) which contains the
information about the physical address of the converter, the interrupt in
use and it’s polarity and other settings used by the driver . If the initialization
fails for any reason, an error message appears in the stdout window of
Code Composer Studio.
- Enabling of the interrupts of the DSP.
- Reading a block of data from the ADS1605, by calling the dc_rblock()
function (residing the file t1605_ob.c) with the settings of the ADS1605,
the address of the memory block were the date should be written to and
the block size. Once the transfer is complete, the semaphore
Ads1605_1.xferInProgress is reset and a new transfer is initiated.

Page 25
In order to get the expected result, the following steps need to be performed.
- Make sure that the jumpers on the 5−6K interface card are set according
to the following Table 4−1 and Figure 4−1.

Make sure that all jumpers on the ADS1605/1606 EVM are set to the
-
factory defaults, as described in the chapters 1 and 2 of this User’s Guide
Additionally, set the jumper W11 to position 2−3 to configure the interrupt
for rising edges. As described in Chapter 2 paragraph 2.1.5.
- Apply power to the DSP starter kit and also to the EVM, as described in
Chapter 3.
- Apply an analog signal on either J6 or pin 4 of J1. For example, apply a
10-kHz sine wave with 1-V
- Start Code Composer Studio (CCS).
- In Code Composer Studio, open the project for your DSP hardware
