2.6 Digital Interface

As noted in Section 1, the EVM interfaces with the PHI and communicates with the computer over the USB. There are two devices on the EVM with which the PHI communicates: the ADS1285 ADC (over SPI) and the EEPROM (over I2C). The EEPROM comes pre-programmed with the information required to configure and initialize the ADS1285EVM-PDK GUI. When the hardware is initialized, the EEPROM is no longer used.
