1.0. Introduction

The LMP91050 Design Kit (consisting of the LMP91050 Evaluation Board, the SPIO-4 Digital Controller Board, the Sensor AFE software, and this user’s guide) is designed to ease evaluation and design-in of Texas Instrument’s LMP91050 Configurable AFE for Nondispersive In frared (NDIR).
Data capturing and evaluations are simplified by connecting the SPIO-4 Digital Controller Board (SPIO-4 board) to a PC via USB and running the Sensor AFE software. The data capture board will generate the SPI signals to communicate to and capture data from the LMP91050. The user will also have the option to evaluate the LMP91050 without using the SPIO-4 board or the Sensor AFE software.
The on board data converter will digitize the LMP91050’s analog output, and the software will display these results in time domain and histogram. The software also allows customers to write to and read from registers, to configure the device’s gain, output offset, and common mode voltage, and most importantly, to configure and learn about the LMP91050.
This document describes the connection between the boards and PC, and provides a quick start for voltage measurements. This document also describes how to evaluate the LMP91050 with and without the SPIO-4 board and provides the schematic, board layout, and BOM.

2. Connect SPIO-4 board to a PC via USB.
3. Use a multimeter to measure LMP91050SDEVAL’s +5V test point; it should be
approximately 5V. If it is not, check your power supplies and jumpers. Measure test point VREF_ADC; it should be approximately 4.1V. If it’s not, check your jumpers and U5.

4.0. Powering the LMP91050SDEVAL

There are two ways in which VDD can be sourced: external supply or SPIO-4 power.
If using an external power supply to source VDD, do the following:
1. Connect an external power supply to banan a jack s VDD-EXT and GND.
2. Jumper pins 2 and 3 of JP1 to connect the external power to VDD_DUT.
If using the SPIO-4 power to source VDD, then do the following:
1. Jumper pins 1 and 2 of JP1 to connect +3.3V SPIO-4 power to VDD_DUT.
The schematic for the LMP91050SDEVAL can be seen in Figure 10.

5.0. Evaluating the LMP91050 without the SPIO-4 Board.

The SPIO-4 digital controller board is used to generate the SPI signals to communicate to the LMP91050. Without the SPIO-4 board, the Sensor AFE software for the LMP91050 cannot be used to capture and analyze data from the LMP91050SDEVAL.
If the SPIO-4 board is not available but LMP91050 evaluation is desirable, then connect your own SPI signals to J1 of the LMP91050SDEVAL as seen below. Reference the LMP91050 datasheet for appropriate SPI timing diagrams. Source LMP91050 VDD with an external power supply per previous section.
Figure 9 - LMP91050SDEVAL’s J1 for SPI Signals
Refer to the LMP91050 datasheet for more information on the LMP91050’s SPI protocol.

FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEM ONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSES ONL Y and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency interference. Operat i on of this equipment in other environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures may be required to correct this interference.
EVM Warnings and Restrictions
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 3.3V to 5V and the output voltage range of 0V to 5V. 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 +30°C. The EVM is designed to
operate properly with certain components above +85°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.
