For use with a computer, the ADS8638EVM-PDK is also available. This kit combines the ADS8638 board

with the DSP-based MMB0 motherboard, and includes ADCPro software for evaluation.

The MMB0 motherboard allows the ADS8638EVM to be connected to the computer via an available USB

port. This manual shows how to use the MMB0 as part of the ADS8638EVMPDK, but does not provide

technical details about the MMB0 itself.

ADCPro is a program for collecting, recording, and analyzing data from ADC evaluation boards. It is based

on a number of plug-in programs, so it can be expanded easily with new test and data collection plug-ins.

The ADS8638EVM-PDK is controlled by a plug-in running in ADCPro. For more information about

ADCPro, see the ADCPro™Analog-to-Digital Converter Evalutation Software User's Guide (literature

number SBAU128), available for download from the TI web site.

This manual covers the operation of both the ADS8638EVM and the ADS8638EVM-PDK. Throughout this

document, the abbreviation EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with the

ADS8638EVM. For clarity of reading, the rest of this manual will refer only to the ADS8638EVM or

ADS8638EVM-PDK, but operation of the EVM and kit for the ADS8614, ADS8618, and ADS8634 is

identical, unless otherwise noted.

1.2 Introduction

The ADS8638 is a 12-bit, eight-channel, 1-MHz SAR ADC with a serial peripheral interface ( SPI™). The

ADC uses a capacitor-based switching method to create an adjustable input voltage range option.

Additionally, the device features two preset alarms with hysteresis per channel. During normal operation,

the ADS8638 dissipates a mere 22.5 mW at 5-V AVDD and ±15-V high voltage supplies.

The ADS8638EVM is an evaluation module built to the TI Modular EVM System specification. It can be

connected to any modular EVM system interface card.

The ADS8638EVM is available as a stand-alone printed circuit board (PCB) or as part of the

ADS8638EVM-PDK, which includes an MMB0 motherboard and software. As a stand-alone PCB, the

ADS8638EVM is useful for evaluating designs and firmware.

Note that the ADS8638EVM has no microprocessor and cannot run software. To connect it to a computer,

some type of interface is required.

2 Analog Interface

For maximum flexibility, the ADS8638EVM is designed for easy interfacing to multiple analog sources.

Samtec part numbers SSW-110-22-F-D-VS-K and TSM-110-01-T-DV-P provide a convenient 10-pin, dual

row header/socket combination at J1. This header/socket provides access to the analog input pins of the

ADC. Consult Samtec at www.samtec.com or call 1-800-SAMTEC-9 for a variety of mating connector

options. Table 1 shows the pinout of the analog input connector, J1.

J1.1-19 (odd) GND Analog ground connections (except J1.15)

J1.15 VREFOUT Buffered reference output

J1.18 NC —

J1.20 Ext VREF External reference voltage input

The eight ADC analog inputs (four inputs for ADS8x34 devices) are available at the J1 header. All of these

inputs, with the exception of one, are routed directly from the J1 header to the ADC. The AIN2/AIN0

channel includes an OPA140 to help drive one of the analog input channels to show the proper way to

drive the ADC. The op amp is in unity gain, and includes a RC low-pass filter component before reaching

the ADC.

An external reference can be applied to the ADC via an external source using pin J1.20. This signal is

routed directly to JP2 where it can be jumped in to the VREFP line.

An OPA379 is located on the EVM to buffer the reference signal and output it on J1.15.

EVM Operation

www.ti.com

4.1 Power Options

JP3 is in place for current measurement in order to regulate the power consumption of the ADS8638.

When current measurement is not taking place, jumpers must be applied across many of the jumpers to

properly power the ADC. Table 4 lists the power option details for JP3.

Table 4. JP3 Configuration: Power Options

Row Name Function

1-2 ADC HVDD Supply current measurement point for high

voltage positive rail. Must be connected for

operation.

3-4 ADC HVEE Supply current measurement point for high

voltage negative rail. Must be connected for

operation.

5-6 ADC +5 VA Supply current measurement point for

+5-VA voltage rail. Must be connected for

operation.

7-8 GND Ground points for EVM board

9-10 ADC +3.3 VD Supply current measurement point for 3.3-V

digital supply rail. Must be connected for

ADC use with DVDD = 3.3 V. Do not

connect if +5-VD jumper is installed.

11-12 ADC +1.8 VD Supply current measurement point for 1.8V

digital supply rail. Must be connected for

ADC use with DVDD = 1.8 V. Do not

connect if +3.3-VD jumper is installed.

The ADS8638EVM has the option to either set +1.8 VD or +3.3 VD as the ADS8638 DVDD supply. Install

a jumper across pins 9-10 to set DVDD = 3.3 V, or install a jumper across pins 11-12 to set DVDD =

1.8 V.

CAUTION

Do not install both jumpers. Doing so may cause damage to the board or ADC

device itself.

4.2 Reference Voltages

The ADS8638EVM can be configured to use the internal reference voltage found within the chip, an

onboard REF5025 reference source, or use the option to input an external reference source. Jumper JP2

is used to route the reference signal to the ADC. When placed in the 1-2 position, the onboard REF5025

is used as the reference signal. When placed in the 2-3 position, an outside external reference can be

applied to J1.20 on the analog header to feed the ADC reference. If the ADC internal reference is

enabled, the shunt on jumper JP2 must be either in the 2-3 position or left disconnected. This

configuration ensures that the REF5025 source is not driving the ADS8638 reference pin when the pin is

configured as an output.

5 EVM Operation

This section provides information on the analog input, digital control, and general operating conditions of

the ADS8638EVM.

5.1 Analog Input
