The screw terminals along the bottom edge of the Interface Board give access to the common power bus.Three-port terminals J1 and J2 provide analog power. Two-port terminals J6, J8, J9, and J11 provide thedigital voltages. Two jumpers, W2 and W3, located on the Interface Board give the user the option ofusing DSK +5 V and +3.3 V for the digital power. Analog power must be supplied from an external source.Table 1 shows the typical external power connections.

boards, amplifiers, etc.J6 +5 (5.5 V Max) Digital Voltage—power to digital logic - ADCs, DACs, etc.J8 +VD (undefined) Digital Voltage—Reserved for future useJ9 +1.8 V (2.3 V Max) Digital Voltage—core logic voltage for Codecs etc.J11 +3. 3 V (3.7 V Max) Digital Voltage—power to digital logic – ADCs, DACs, etc.
The signal conditioning sites provide a 20-pin analog I/O header and a 6-pin header for the analog powersupply connections.
The analog I/O connectors, J3 and J4, provide up to eight single-ended or four differential channelsto/from the data converter. External reference voltages can also be applied to the data converter throughthe analog I/O connector. Because the reference requirements vary by converter type, no restrictions areplaced on the input voltage levels. Be sure to check the documentation for the EVM before applying anyinput signals. Single- and dual-channel converters leave the unused pins open. Table 2 shows thestandard analog connector pinout. See Section 3.3 for details on applying differential signals.

The 20-pin headers located beside JP1 and JP2 provide stability for the signal conditioning boards—nosignals are routed to or from these connectors. These connectors are labeled Analog 1 and Analog 2 inthe assembly drawing found in Section 7 .
