2.1.3 Connector Definitions

Table 3-6 shows the power connector definitions of the AFE20408EVM.

Table 2-2 Power Connector Definitions
DesignatorDefinition
J1USB connector
J3

AFE20408 VCCA supply (3V to 11V)

J4AFE20408 VSSA supply (−11V to −3V)
J5AFE20408 VDD supply (3V to 5.5V)
J7VNEG supply (−10 V to −33 V)
J8AFE20408 VIO supply (1.65V to 3.6V)
J10AFE20408 Ground
J11AFE20408 VCCB supply (3V to 11V)
J12AFE20408 VSSB supply (−11V to −3V)

When powering the EVM, follow these guidelines:

  • Choose between onboard power or external power for VIO and VDD using the J13 jumper. Do not short this jumper and use external power at the same time.
  • The VNEG supply can be used in place of the VSSA and VSSB supplies. Do not short the J29 jumper and use external supplies for VSSA and VSSB at the same time.
  • The VSSA voltage must always be less than (more negative) or equal to the VSSB voltage.
  • To operate the group A DACs in the positive range, apply a positive voltage to VCCA and ground VSSA. To operate the group A DACs in the negative range, apply a negative voltage to VSSA and ground VCCA.
  • To operate the group B DACs in the positive range, apply a positive voltage to VCCB and ground VSSB. To operate the group B DACs in the negative range, apply a negative voltage to VSSB and ground VCCB.
  • To operate in the mixed voltage range, the group B DACs must be positive and the group A DACs must be negative. Apply a positive voltage to VCCB and ground VSSB for the group B DACs, and apply a negative voltage to VSSA and ground VCCA for the group A DACs.
