5.6 Analog Sensor Connections

The SNSR-DUAL-ADC-EVM can be configured to use many different analog sensors. The following subsections show how to connect different combinations of sensors to the EVM. Additionally, each subsection includes a table of important ADC register settings for that configuration as well as each register's preloaded value. These tables use PURPLE cells to indicate ADC settings that are fixed by the hardware, and YELLOW cells to indicate ADC settings that the user must select based on the system requirements.

Table 5-3 shows the SNSR-DUAL-ADC-EVM header pin connection to the respective ADC pin.
