EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 1.8 VDC to 5 VDC and the
output voltage range of 0 VDC and 5 VDC.
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.

Digital Interface

The Modular MSOP8 EVM board requires 5 V dc for the analog section. This
includes the voltage reference (U2), the reference buffer (U4), and optionally,
the ADC installed on the EVM (via JMP1). Supply voltages of 1.8 V to 5 V dc
for the digital section are also required. When used in combination with one
of the DAP Interface boards, J3 provides connection to the common power bus
described in document SLAU104. Table 4-1 shows the pin out of J3.
When power is supplied to J3, JMP3 allows for one of four different dc voltages
to be applied to the digital sections of the ADC. See the schematic and PWB
silkscreen for details.
The device installed on the modular MSOP8 EVM has several options in
regards to its power source. Refer to the schematic for the following
discussion.
JMP1 and JMP3 allow the user to select the power supply used by the ADC.
When JMP1 is in the default factory position (Shunt on pins 1-2), power to the
ADC comes from J3.3 or TP5. Single gate digital buffers (U3, U5, and U6) are
installed on the ADC’s digital input/output lines to allow operation with low
voltage controllers, such as the MSP430. The supply voltage to these buffers
is determined by JMP3 or the voltage applied to TP7.
4.2Stand Alone Operation
When used as a stand alone EVM, the analog power can be applied to TP5,
referenced to TP6. Digital power can be applied to TP7 referenced to TP4.
While filters are provided for all power supply inputs, optimal performance of
the EVM requires a clean, well-regulated power source.
Caution
The ADC’s that are compatible with this EVM have a variety of
power supply requirements. Check the appropriate data sheets
and verify all power supplies are within the safe operating limits of
the ADC before applying power to the EVM.
4.3Reference Voltage
The modular MSOP8 can be configured to use the onboard reference/buffer
circuits (U2 and U4) or an external reference applied to J1.20. Jumpers JMP5
and JMP6 control the reference source. In the factory default position (shunt
on JMP5 pins 1-2), a 2.5 V reference is supplied by U2. Moving the shunt at
JMP5 to positions 2 - 3 allows an external reference applied to J1.20 to be
used.
Caution
The ADC’s that are compatible with this EVM have a variety of
reference requirements. Check the appropriate data sheets and
verify external reference sources are within the safe operating
limits of the ADC before applying power to the EVM.
JMP6 controls the actual application of the reference source to the ADC. Note
that JMP6 is not installed on EVM boards for ADS7818, ADS7834, and
ADS7835 devices. In the factory default position (shunt on pins 1 - 2), the
reference source is the on board reference/buffer circuit. Moving the shunt on
JMP6 to pins 2-3 allows the voltage applied to the ADC (+Vadc) to be used
as the reference source.

Chapter 5
EVM Operation
The following section provides information in the analog input, digital control,
and general operating conditions of the Modular MSOP8 EVM.
The analog input source can be applied directly to J1 (top or bottom side) or
through optional amplifier and signal conditioning modules. The analog input
range is dependent on the configuration of the EVM and the ADC installed at
location U1. Consult the datasheet for the device to determine the maximum
analog input range.
5.2Digital Control
The digital control signals can be applied directly to J2 (top or bottom side).
The modular MSOP8 EVM can also be connected directly to a DSP or a micro
controller interface board, such as the HPA449. See the product folder for the
EVM or the installed device for a current list of compatible interface and/or
accessory boards.
5.3Chip Select (Shut Down)
Jumper JMP2 is provided to allow the selection of the signals applied to the
chip select (/CS) or shutdown (SHDN) pin of the ADC installed on the EVM.
The factory default condition for the EVM is to place a shunt jumper between
pins 1 - 2 of JMP2. This allows the Frame Sync (FS) signal from DSP host
systems to be used as a chip select for the ADC. This signal originates from
J2.7. When JMP2 is moved to pins 2-3, the /CS (SHDN) signal is applied via
J2.1.
5.4Digital I/O Buffers
Single gate buffers U3, U5 and U6 are provided to ensure the safe operation
of the modular MSOP8 EVM with low voltage host controllers. The digital I/O
voltage applied to these buffers via JMP3 should be set in accordance with the
operating voltage of the host controller.
5.5Default Jumper Locations
Table 5-1 provides a list of jumpers found on the EVM and their factory default
conditions.
