1 ADS8861EVM-PDK Overview

The ADS8861EVM is an evaluation module built to the TI modular EVM system specifications. The EVM by itself does not have a microprocessor and cannot run software. Thus, the EVM is available as part of the ADS8861EVM-PDK kit that combines the ADS8861EVM as a daughter board with the DSP-based MMB0 motherboard using ADCPro™ software as a graphical user interface (GUI).

ADCPro software collects, records, and analyzes data from ADC evaluation boards. ADCPro runs different plug-in programs to easily expand testing and data collection capabilities. In combination with the ADS8861EVM plug-in program, ADCPro offers a comprehensive evaluation environment for the ADS8861. For more details on ADCPro, see the ADCPro Analog-to-Digital Converter Evaluation Software User's Guide (SBAU128), available for download from www.ti.com.

EVM Analog Interface

2 EVM Analog Interface

The ADS8861EVM is designed for easy interfacing to multiple analog sources. SMA connectors allow the EVM to have input signals connected through coaxial cables. In addition, the Samtec™ connector provides a convenient 10-pin, dual-row, header and socket combination at J1. Consult Samtec at

www.samtec.com or call 1-800-SAMTEC-9 for a variety of mating connector options. All analog inputs are

buffered by the THS4521 high-speed, fully-differential amplifier in order to properly drive the ADS8861 ADC inputs.

Use appropriate caution when handling these pins. Table 1 summarizes the pinout for the analog interface J1.

2.1 Differential Input Signal Configuration

Although the ADS8861 can only convert unipolar differential signals, bipolar differential signals can be applied at the EVM inputs because the EVM inputs are conditioned by the THS4521 fully-differential amplifier. This EVM sets the THS4521 output common-mode voltage to 2.25 V, corresponding to V Thus, a bipolar differential signal with a common-mode voltage of 0 V can be applied at the EVM inputs A0(–) and A0(+). Then, the THS4521 shifts the common-mode voltage to 2.25 V. Even though the input common-mode voltage can be corrected, the input signals must limit the differential range from –4.3 V to

4.3 V to avoid saturating the amplifier output because the THS4521 is powered by a 5-V supply. Figure 1 shows an input signal with a 0-V common-mode voltage and an 8.6-V differential voltage, where the common-mode voltage is changed from 0 V to 2.25 V.

2.2 Single-Ended Signal Configuration

The ADS8861 can only convert single-ended signals between 0 V and V single-ended signal to a differential signal, thus allowing a larger input voltage range for the EVM input A0(+). The single-ended signal range can be 0 V to 8.6 V or –4.3 V to 4.3 V to avoid saturating the amplifier output. The EVM A0(–) input should be grounded for single-ended signals, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Single-Ended Signal Example

2.3 Voltage Reference

The reference voltage should be below 5 V because the EVM is powered by a 5-V analog supply. This EVM uses a 4.5 V value created by the onboard REF5045. This value is then filtered by an RC filter with a 160-Hz cutoff frequency to minimize noise contribution. Finally, the filtered reference value is buffered by the THS4281 that functions as the driver for the ADC reference input pin. To meet performance specifications, a 10-μF capacitor with a small ESR is also present at the ADC reference input pin. This large capacitive load reduces the THS4281 effective bandwidth to 2 MHz, making the THS4281 total noise contribution approximately 22 μ complement the THS4281 by minimizing offset and drift.

3.1 Serial Interface (SPI)

The ADS8861 ADC uses SPI serial communication in mode 1 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 1) with high-speed clocks greater than 30 MHz or uses mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) for slower clocks. Because the serial clock (SCLK) frequency can be as fast as 80 MHz, the ADS8861EVM offers 47-Ω resistors between the SPI signals and J2 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 I2C Bus for Onboard EEPROM

The ADS8861EVM has an I2C bus that records the board name and assembly date to communicate with the onboard EEPROM. This bus is not used in any form by the ADS8861 converter.

4.1 Analog Power Options

The ADS8861EVM board is designed to function with a 5-V analog power supply connected to J3.3. The ADS8861 is limited to 3.6 V as an analog supply. Therefore, the board regulates down the 5-V analog supply with an onboard 3.3-V LDO (TPS78833).

4.2 Digital Power Options

The ADS8861EVM connects the digital power supply of the ADS8861 to 3.3 VD (J3.10) with a 0-Ω resistor. This 3.3-V supply matches the 3.3-V logic level of the MMB0 motherboard.

EVM Power-Supply Inputs

Table 4. J3: Power-Supply Interface Header

4.3 Analog and Digital Grounds

The EVM only has one ground plane for analog and digital supplies; thus, pins J3.5 and J3.6 are tied together to this ground plane. Therefore, both supply grounds should be connected to pins J3.5–6 in order to share the same ground.

EVM Digital Configuration

5 EVM Digital Configuration

The EVM offers two jumpers (JP2 and JP3) to configure the EVM in either 3-wire or 4-wire SPI mode. By default, the EVM jumper settings are 3-wire. JP1 only establishes the pin that carries the chip-select signal from the J2 header.

5.1 SPI 3-Wire Mode (JP2:2–3 and JP3:OPEN)

The chip-select signal is used to bring the ADS8861 digital output out of 3-state and initialize conversions. The rising edge of the chip-select signal starts a conversion, then after the conversion time the falling edge of chip-select brings the digital output out of 3-state. Figure 4 shows this configuration.

www.ti.com

Figure 4. Serial 3-Wire Configuration

5.2 SPI 4-Wire Mode (JP2:1–2 and JP3:CLOSED)

The chip-select signal is used to bring the ADS8861 digital output out of 3-state. However, conversion is initialized from J3:17 as an independent signal. The rising edge of J3:17 (CONVST) starts a conversion, then after the conversion time the falling edge of the chip-select brings the digital output out of 3-state.

7.3 Using the ADS8861EVM Plug-in

The ADS8861EVM allows the user to evaluate the ADS8861 ADC. Figure 10 shows the device configuration tab of the ADS8861EVM plug-in that is used to change acquisition parameters such as sample rate and voltage reference.

PDK Kit Operation

Figure 10. ADS8861EVM Plug-In: Device Configuration Tab

The device configuration tab contains the following controls:

• Data rate: By default, data rate is 1 MSPS. This control shows the data rate or sampling frequency used by the ADC to acquire data. With an SCLK frequency of 80 MHz, data rate can be set from

19.536 kSPS to 1 MSPS. With an SCLK frequency of 10 MHz, data rate can be set from 4 kSPS to

344.827 kSPS.

• SCLK: By default, SCLK is 80 MHz. SCLK sets the clock frequency used by the SPI interface to capture data. SCLK should be between 70 MHz to 80 MHz for 1 MSPS. For slow sampling rates, use 10 MHz. Do not use SCLK frequencies between 30 MHz and 50 MHz.

• Reference: 4.5 V is the default reference value, which matches the onboard reference of the EVM. The value of this control should always match the reference used by the ADC to read accurate voltages.

• Device selection: The ADS8861 is selected by default.

• About: This control shows the motherboard name, plug-in version, firmware version, assembly date, and board revision information. Note that the device name displayed is ADS8881 instead of ADS8861 because the main software is based on the ADS8881 device.

• Collection bar: This feature shows the percentage of data collected during an acquisition session.
