The ADS794xEVM-PDK is available for use with a computer. This kit combines the ADS794xEVM board

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

The MMB0 motherboard allows the ADS794xEVM to be connected to the computer via an available USB

port. This manual shows how to use the MMB0 as part of the ADS794xEVM-PDK, 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 ADS794xEVM-PDK is controlled by a plug-in running in ADCPro. For more information about

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

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

This manual covers the operation of both the ADS794xEVM and the ADS794xEVM-PDK. Throughout this

document, the abbreviation EVM and the term evaluation module are synonymous with the ADS794xEVM.

Operation of the EVM and kit for both the ADS7946 and the ADS7945 devices is identical, unless

otherwise noted.

1.2 Introduction

The ADS794xEVM is an evaluation module built to the TI Modular EVM System specifications. It can be

connected to any modular EVM system interface card.

The ADS794xEVM is available as a stand-alone printed circuit board (PCB) or as part of the

ADS794xEVM-PDK, which includes an MMB0 motherboard and software. As a stand-alone PCB, the

ADS794xEVM is useful for prototyping designs and firmware because it offers circuitry that meets the

product data sheet specifications of either the ADS7946 or ADS7945 devices.

The ADS7945 and ADS7946 are 14-bit, 2-MSPS ADCs with fully differential and pseudo-differential

unipolar inputs, respectively. These devices operate at a 2-MSPS sample rate with a 16-clock SPI data

frame that features both outstanding dc and excellent dynamic performance. These devices also include a

two-channel input multiplexer and a low-power SAR ADC with an inherent sample-and-hold (S/H) input

stage. During normal operation at 2 MSPS, the ADS794x dissipates a mere 11.6 mW.

Note that the ADS794xEVM has no microprocessor and cannot run software. Therefore, some type of

interface is required to connect the ADS794xEVM to a computer. In the ADS794xEVM-PDK kit, the MMB0

motherboard serves as the interface between the computer and the ADS794xEVM board.

2 Analog Interface

The ADS794xEVM is designed for easy interfacing to multiple analog sources. SMA connectors allow the

EVM to have input signals connected via coaxial cables. In addition, the Samtec connector provides a

convenient 10-pin, dual-row, header/socket combination at P2. This header/socket provides access to the

analog input pins of the ADS794x. Consult Samtec at http://www.samtec.com or call 1-800-SAMTEC-9 for

a variety of mating connector options. All analog inputs are buffered by OPA836 high-speed operational

amplifiers in order to properly drive the ADS794x ADC inputs.

Use appropriate caution when handling these pins. Table 2 summarizes the pinout for analog interface P2.

2.1 ADS794xEVM Analog Inputs with ADS7945 Installed

Each channel of the ADS7945 uses two OPA836 operational amplifiers to drive the fully differential inputs.

The input signals can be applied to either the SMA or P2 header connectors. These operational amplifiers

offset the input signal to use an inverting configuration with a single supply. The EVM Operation section

explains in detail how this offset is used to allow bipolar signals for the ADS7945 with jumper J6.

Figure 1 illustrates the ADS794xEVM analog inputs with the ADS7945 installed.

2.2 ADS794xEVM Analog Inputs with ADS7946 Installed

Each channel of the ADS7946 uses one OPA836 to drive a single-ended input voltage. The input signals

can be applied to either the SMA or P2 header connectors. These operational amplifiers offset the input

signal to use an inverting configuration with a single supply. The EVM Operation section explains in detail

how this offset is used to allow bipolar signals for the ADS7946 with jumper J6.

Figure 2 shows the ADS794xEVM analog inputs with the ADS7946 installed.

2.3 External Reference Input

Pin P2.20 is an analog input for an external reference voltage when J2 is in position 2-3. The source that

provides this external reference should have a voltage between 2.5 V and the analog power-supply

voltage.

3 Digital Interface

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

row, header/socket combination at P1. This header/socket provides access to the digital control pins of the

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

connector options.

3.1 Serial Interface (SPI)

The ADS794x ADC uses SPI serial communication in mode 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0). Because the serial

clock (SCLK) frequency can be as fast as 40 MHz, the ADS794xEVM offers 47-Ωresistors between the

SPI signals and P1 to aid with signal integrity. Typically, in high-speed SPI communication, fast signal

edges can cause overshoot; these 47-Ωresistors slow down the signal edges in order to minimize signal

overshoot.

3.2 ADS794x Channel Select as SDI (MISO)

The ADS794x ADC offers direct control over the internal multiplexer using pin 11. The ADS794xEVM uses

a flip-flop (see U9 in the attached schematic) to convert this pin into a typical SPI SDI (MOSI) pin. This

architecture takes advantage of the SPI full-duplex data transmission sequence to control channel

selection at the same time conversion data are acquired. The digital word 0x000 can be used to select

channel 0, and the word 0xFFFF can be used to select channel 1.

3.3 I2C Bus for Onboard EEPROM

The ADS794xEVM has an I2C bus to communicate with the onboard EEPROM that records the board

name and assembly date. It is not used in any form by the ADS794x converter.

4.1 Analog Power Options

The ADS794xEVM board is designed to work with a 5-V analog power supply connected to P3.3.

4.2 Digital Power Options

The ADS794xEVM uses a jumper in J3 to connect the digital power supply to either +3.3 VD (P3.10) or +5

VD (P3.9). J3 in position 1-2 connects the digital power supply to +5 VD; position 2-3 connects the digital

power supply to +3.3 VD. Without a jumper in J3, the digital power supply can be connected to +1.8

VD(P3.7) with a jumper wire to pin J3.2. The jumper in J3 must always be in position 2-3 (+3.3 VD) while

using the MMB0 with the EVM.

4.3 Reference Voltages

The ADS794xEVM uses a jumper in J2 to select between the internal (REF5040) and external voltage

reference sources. J2 in position 1-2 selects the internal reference; position 2-3 selects the external

reference. The selected reference is cleaned with a RC filter and buffered with a OPA350 operational

amplifier.

CAUTION

Digital supply and reference voltage must be at or below the analog supply

voltage at all times.

ADS794xEVM and ADS794xEVM-PDK

5 EVM Operation

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

the ADS794xEVM without the MMB0 motherboard. Software operation is presented in Section 7.

5.1 Analog Input

The ADS794xEVM offers three different analog input modes, selectable with jumper J6 and the type of

input signal. Note that the ADS794x converter by itself only allows dc-coupled unipolar signals. The two

additional input modes are available because OPA836 operational amplifiers drive the analog inputs. It is

preferable for external signal drivers or filters to have low output impedance to reduce gain errors.

Mode 1: DC-Coupled Unipolar Inputs (J6 Closed)

DC-coupled unipolar signals are typically produced by single-supply signal drivers. To allow dc-coupled

unipolar signals, J6 should be closed. This mode allows an input signal range from 0 V to VREF for all EVM

analog inputs. In this mode, the voltage read at the ADC is equal to (VREF – VIN).

Mode 2: DC-Coupled Bipolar Inputs (J6 Open)

DC-coupled bipolar signals are typically produced by dual-supply signal drivers. To allow dc-coupled

bipolar signals, J6 should be open. This mode allows an input signal range from –VREF/2 to +VREF/2 for all

EVM analog inputs. In this mode, the voltage read at the ADC is equal to (VREF/2 – VIN).

Mode 3: AC-Coupled Inputs (J6 Closed)

AC-coupled signals are typically produced by high-pass filters. To allow ac-coupled bipolar signals, J6

should be closed. This mode allows an input signal range from –VREF/2 to +VREF/2 for all EVM analog

inputs. In this mode, the voltage read at the ADC is equal to (VREF/2 – VIN).

5.2 Digital Control

The digital control signals can be applied directly to the P1 header (top or bottom side). The modular

ADS794xEVM can also be connected directly to a DSP or microcontroller interface board, such as the 5-

6K Interface or HPA-MCU Interface boards available from Texas Instruments, or the MMB0 if purchased

as part of the ADS794xEVM-PDK. For a list of compatible interface and/or accessory boards for the EVM

or the ADS794x, see the relevant product folder on the TI web site.

5.3 Default Jumper Settings

Figure 3 shows the jumper locations on the EVM board and the respective factory default conditions for

each.

Figure 3. ADS794xEVM Default Jumper Locations

There are four jumpers on the ADS794xEVM board. These jumpers are used to set the CS signal entry

pin (J1), select the digital logic level (J3), select the reference (J2), and to establish the input signal range

type (J6). The default parameters are:

• The CS signal entry pin is P1.7 (J1: 2-3).

• The logic level is 3.3 V (J3: 2-3).

• The onboard 4.096 V is selected as the reference voltage (J1: 1-2).

• Analog input range is 0 V to VREF (4.096 V) with dc-coupled signals (J6: closed)
