2.1 ADS9308V8IEVM Quick Start Guide

The following instructions are a step-by-step guide for connecting the ADS9308V8IEVM to the computer and evaluating the performance of the ADS9308V8I.

  1. Review the default jumper settings in Figure 2-1 and the power guidelines in Section 2.4.1.

  2. IMPORTANT: Please set the J5 jumper on the TSWDC155EVM to the +1.8V option.

  3. Physically connect J1 of the TSWDC155EVM to J22 of the ADS9308V8IEVM. This component is the digital communications and power signal connection in default configuration.
  4. Set jumper JP1 to the FMC_PWR position so the TSWDC155EVM provides power. Otherwise, set JP1 to EXT_PWR and connect an external 5.2V to 5.5V supply on screw terminal connection J7.
  5. Bypass any external USB hub and connect the USB on the TSWDC155EVM directly to the computer.

  1. Install the GUI as described in Section 3.1.
  2. Install the necessary USB drivers as described in Section 3.1.1.
  3. Launch the GUI.
  4. For ADS9308V8IEVM and GUI, press the Board Startup and Initialize Device buttons, in order, on the Configuration tab to power up and configure the EVM, (see Section 3.2.1 for details).
  5. Connect a 40mVPP, differential sine wave signal from a function generator to any current sense channel (CH1 - CH8 on EVM) through the J1 header or connect a 9VPP, differential sine wave signal to any voltage sense channel (CH9 - CH16 on EVM) through the J2 header.
  6. Select the number of samples to be at least 32k points, and choose the Hanning window type for best frequency domain results.
  7. Press the Start Capture button to collect and analyze the data displayed on the appropriate channel; see Section 3.2 for more details.
