Set-up Procedures

After following the instructions in the Software Procedures section, set up the evaluation and SDP-K1 board as detailed in this section.

Warning: The evaluation software and drivers must be installed before connecting the EVAL-AD4130-8WARDZ evaluation board and EVAL-SDP-CK1Z board to the USB port of the PC to ensure the PC correctly recognizes the evaluation system.

Connect the EVAL-AD4130-8WARDZ to the controller board

There are four primary signals: CS, SCLK, MOSI/DIN, and MISO/DOUT (all are inputs, except for MISO/DOUT, which is an output).

Serial communication options

Arduino connection using the SDP-K1
PMOD connector
Standalone mode
- Removing the links LK17, 18, 19, 20 and using the pins from these links can then be used to fly-wire the signals to an alternative digital capture setup

Selecting the reference source:

Software

Example shows setting reference for Channel 0, for channel n, go to register CONFIG[n]

Board should be correctly connected to ACE
Open AD4130-8 memory map
Search for the CONFIG[0] register
Set the REF_SEL_N[0] to the desired reference source or the Data(hex) to the relevant bits
1. Dedicated reference pins REFIN1 +/- (Hex value 00, Binary Value 00).
2. From GPIO0/1 REFIN2 +/- (Hex value 01, Binary Value 01).
