MSOP-8EVM Features:•Full-featured evaluation board for a variety of single-channel, 8-pin, micro-SOP, 14- to 16-bit, serialoutput, ADCs•Onboard reference and buffer circuits•High-speed serial interface•Modular design for use with a variety of DSP and microcontroller interface boards
For use with a computer, the MSOP-8EVM-PDK is available. This kit combines the MSOP-8EVM boardwith the DSP-based MMB0 motherboard, and includes ADCPro software for evaluation.
The MMB0 motherboard allows the MSOP-8EVM to be connected to the computer via an available USBport. This manual shows how to use the MMB0 as part of the MSOP-8EVM-PDK, but does not providetechnical details on the MMB0 itself.
ADCPro is a program for collecting, recording, and analyzing data from ADC evaluation boards. It is basedon a number of plug-in programs, so it can be expanded easily with new test and data collection plug-ins.The MSOP-8EVM-PDK is controlled by a plug-in that is executed in ADCPro.
This manual covers the operation of both the MSOP-8EVM and the MSOP-8EVM-PDK. It does notdescribe the MMB0 motherboard in detail. Throughout this document, the abbreviation EVM and the termevaluation module are synonymous with the MSOP-8EVM.
The modular MSOP-8 evaluation module is an updated version of the popular Burr-Brown DEM-MSOP-8evaluation board. The EVM is designed so that a single printed wiring board (PWB) supports a variety oftest configurations for high-speed 14- and 16-bit serial ADCs.
The modular EVM form factor allows for direct evaluation of the ADC performance and operatingcharacteristics. This EVM is compatible with the 5-6K Interface Board (SLAU104 ), also available fromTexas Instruments.

4 Power Supplies
4.1 ADC Power
www.ti.com Power Supplies
The modular MSOP-8EVM board requires +5V dc for the analog section. This power source supplies thevoltage reference (U2), the reference buffer (U4), and optionally, the ADC installed on the EVM (viaJMP1). Supply voltages of +1.8V to +5V dc for the digital section are also required. When used incombination with one of the DAP Interface boards, J3 provides connection to the common power busdescribed in the 5-6 K Interface Board User's Guide, (SLAU104 ). Table 4 shows the pinout for J3.
Table 4. J3 Pinout
Pin Number Signal Pin Number Signal
1 Unused 6 AGND2 Unused 7 +1.8VD3 +5VA 8 +VD14 Unused 9 +3.3VD5 DGND 10 +5VD
When power is supplied to J3, JMP3 allows for one of four different dc voltages to be applied to the digitalsections of the ADC. Review the schematic (located at the end of this document) and PWB silkscreen(see Figure 3 ) for further details.
The device installed on the modular MSOP-8EVM has several options with regard to its power source.Refer to the schematic shown at the end of this document for details about the following information.
JMP1 and JMP3 allow the user to select the power supply used by the ADC. When JMP1 is in the defaultfactory 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 digital input/output lines to allow operation with low-voltagecontrollers, such as the MSP430. The supply voltage to these buffers is determined by JMP3 or thevoltage applied to TP7.

4.2 Standalone Operation
4.3 Reference Voltage
Power Supplies www.ti.com
When used as a standalone EVM, the analog power can be applied to TP5 and referenced to TP6. Digitalpower 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 ADCs that are compatible with this EVM have a variety of power-supplyrequirements. Check the appropriate data sheet and verify that all powersupplies are within the safe operating limits of the ADC before applying powerto the EVM.
The modular MSOP-8 can be configured to use the onboard reference/buffer circuits (U2 and U4) or anexternal reference applied to J1.20. Jumpers JMP5 and JMP6 control the reference source. In the factorydefault position (shunt on JMP5 pins 1-2), a 2.5V reference is supplied by U2. Moving the shunt at JMP5to positions 2-3 allows an external reference applied to J1.20 to be used.
CAUTION
The ADCs that are compatible with this EVM have a variety of referencerequirements. Check the appropriate data sheet and verify that the externalreference sources are within the safe operating limits of the ADC beforeapplying power to the EVM.
JMP6 controls the actual application of the reference source to the ADC. In the factory default position(shunt on pins 1-2), the reference source is the onboard reference/buffer circuit. Moving the shunt to JMP6to pins 2-3 allows the voltage applied to the ADC (+V

) to be used as the reference source.

5.5 Default Jumper Locations
www.ti.com EVM Operation
This section provides information on the analog input, digital control, and general operating conditions ofthe MSOP-8EVM.
The analog input source can be applied directly to J1 (top or bottom side) or through optional amplifier andsignal conditioning modules. The analog input range depends on the configuration of the EVM and theADC installed at location U1. Consult the specific device data sheet to determine the maximum analoginput range.
The digital control signals can be applied directly to J2 (top or bottom side). The modular MSOP-8EVMcan also be connected directly to a DSP or microcontroller interface board. Visit the product folder for theMSOP-8EVM or the installed device for a current list of compatible interfaces and/or recommendedaccessory boards.
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 has a shuntjumper placed between pins 1-2 of JMP2. This configuration allows the Frame Sync (FS) signal from aDSP host system to be used as a chip select for the ADC. This signal originates from J2.7. When JMP2 ismoved to pins 2-3, the CS (SHDN) signal is applied via J2.1.
Single gate buffers U3, U5, and U6 are provided to ensure the safe operation of the modular MSOP-8EVMwith low-voltage host controllers. The digital I/O voltage applied to these buffers via JMP3 should be set inaccordance with the operating voltage of the host controller.
Table 5 lists the jumpers found on the EVM and the respective factory default condition of each.
Table 5. Jumper DescriptionsJumper Shunt Position Jumper Description
JMP1 Pins 1-2 Controls ADC supply voltage (default is +5V analog source)
JMP2 Pins 1-2 Controls ADC CS (SHDN) pin (default is FS from DSP host)
JMP3 Pins 5-6 Controls digital I/O voltage (default is +3.3V digital source)
JMP4 CLOSED Ties analog and digital grounds together
JMP5 Pins 1-2 Controls external reference source (default is +2.5V from U2)

6.1 Installing the ADCPro Software
MSOP-8EVM-PDK Kit Operation www.ti.com
This section provides information on using the MSOP-8EVM-PDK, including setup, program installation,and program usage.
To prepare to evaluate the MSOP-8EVM with the MSOP-8EVM-PDK, complete the following steps:Step 1. Install the ADCPro software (if not already installed).Step 2. Install the MSOP-8EVM-PDK EVM plug-in software.Step 3. Set up the MSOP-8EVM-PDK.Step 4. Connect a proper power supply or use the included ac adapter.Step 5. Run the ADCPro software.Step 6. Complete the Microsoft Windows
®
USB driver installation process.
Each step is described in the subsequent sections of this document.
Do not connect the MSOP-8EVM-PDK before installing the software. Failure to observe this proceduremay cause Windows to not recognize the MSOP-8EVM-PDK.
The latest software is available from Texas Instruments' website at http://www.ti.com/ . The CD-ROMshipped with the MSOP-8EVM may not contain the latest software, but the ADCPro installer will check forupdates when run, if connected to the Internet, and then give you the option of downloading and installingthe latest version. Refer to the ADCPro User's Guide for instructions on installing and using ADCPro.
To install the MSOP-8EVM-PDK plug-in, run the file: adsXXXXevm-pdk-plugin-1.0.0.exe for the installeddevice ( 1.0.0 is the version number, and increments with software version releases; you may have adifferent version on your CD). Double-click the file to run it; then follow the instructions shown. You canalso use the ADCPro Update Check feature to check for newer versions of the MSOP-8EVM-PDK plug-in,once you have installed one version of it.
The software should now be installed, but the USB drivers may not yet have been loaded by the PCoperating system. This step completes when the ADCPro software is executed; see the section titledRunning the Software and Completing Driver Installation .
