DAT A ACQUISIT ION BOARD
Figure 25 shows the AD7840 in a data acquisition circuit. T he
corresponding printed circuit board (PCB) layout and silkscreen
are shown in Figures 26 to 28. T he board layout has three inter-
face ports: one serial and two parallel. One of the parallel ports
is directly compatible with the ADSP-2100 evaluation board
expansion connector.
Some systems will require the addition of a re-construction filter
on the output of the AD7840 to complete the data acquisition
system. T here is a component grid provided near the analog
output on the PCB which may be used for such a filter or any
other output conditioning circuitry. T o facilitate this option,
there is a shorting plug (labeled LK 1 on the PCB) on the analog
output track. If this shorting plug is used, the analog output
connects to the output of the AD7840; otherwise this shorting
plug can be omitted and a wire link used to connect the analog
output to the PCB component grid.
T he board also contains a simple sample-and-hold circuit which
can be used on the output of the AD7840 to extend the very
good performance of the AD7840 over a wider frequency range.
A second wire link (labelled LK 2 on the PCB) connects V
OUT
(SK T 1) to either the output of this sample-and-hold circuit or
directly to the output of the AD7840.
INT E RFACE CONNE CT IONS
T here are two parallel connectors, labeled SK T 4 and SK T 6,
and one serial connector, labeled SK T 5. A shorting plug option
(LK 8 in Figure 25) on the AD7840
CS
/SERIAL input config-
ures the DAC for the appropriate interface (see Pin Function
Description).
SK T 6 is a 96-contact (3-row) Eurocard connector which is di-
rectly compatible with the ADSP-2100 Evaluation Board Proto-
type Expansion Connector. T he expansion connector on the
ADSP-2100 has eight decoded chip enable outputs labeled
ECE1
to
ECE8
.
ECE6
is used to drive the AD7840
CS
input
on the data acquisition board. T o avoid selecting on-board
sockets at the same time, LK 6 on the ADSP-2100 board must
be removed. T he AD7840 and ADSP-2100 data lines are
aligned for left justified data transfer.
SK T 4 is a 26-way (2-row) IDC connector. T his connector con-
tains the same signal contacts as SK T 6 and in addition contains
decoded R/
W
and
STRB
inputs which are necessary for
T MS32020 interfacing. T his decoded
WR
can be selected via
LK 4. T he pinout for this connector is shown in Figure 29.
SK T 5 is a nine-way D-type connector which is meant for serial
interfacing only. T he evaluation board has the facility to invert
SYNC
line via LK 7. T his is necessary for serial interfacing be-
tween the AD7840 and DSP processors such as the DSP56000.
T he SK T 5 pinout is shown in Figure 30.
SK T 1, SK T 2 and SK T 3 are three BNC connectors which pro-
vide connections for the analog output, the
LDAC
input and an
external reference input. T he use of an external reference is op-
tional; the shorting plug (LK 3) connects the REF IN pin to ei-
ther this external reference or to the AD7840’s own internal
reference.
Wire links LK 5 and LK 6 connect the D11 and D10 inputs to
the data lines for parallel operation. In the serial mode, these
links allow the user to select the required format and justifica-
tion for serial data (see T able I).
POWE R SUPPLY CONNE CT IONS
T he PCB requires two analog power supplies and one 5 V digi-
tal supply. Connections to the analog supplies are made directly
to the PCB as shown on the silkscreen in Figure 26. T he con-
nections are labelled V+ and V– and the range for both of these
supplies is 12 V to 15 V. Connection to the 5 V digital supply is
made through any of the connectors (SK T 4 to SK T 6). T he
–5 V analog supply required by the AD7840 is generated from
a voltage regulator on the V– power supply input (IC5 in
Figure 25).
SHORT ING PLUG OPT IONS
T here are eight shorting plug options which must be set before
using the board. T hese are outlined below:
LK 1
Connects the analog output to SK T 1. T he analog
output may also be connected to a component grid
for signal conditioning.
LK 2
Selects either the AD7840 V
OUT
or the sample-and-
hold output.
LK 3
Selects either the internal or external reference.
LK 4
Selects the decoded R/
W
and
STRB
inputs for
T MS32020 interfacing.
LK 5
Configures the D11/FORMAT input.
LK 6
Configures the D10/JUST IFY input.
LK 7
Selects either the inverted or noninverted
SYNC
.
LK 8
Selects either parallel or serial interfacing.
