EVAL-CN0363-PMDZ User Guide
The EVAL-CN0363-PMDZ is a dual channel colorimeter featuring a modulated light source transmitter, programmable gain transimpedance amplifiers on each channel, and a very low noise, 24-bit sigma delta ADC. The output of the ADC connects via a standard PMOD connector to a FPGA. The FPGA takes the sampled data from the ADC and implements a synchronous detection algorithm. By using modulated light and digital synchronous detection, rather than a constant (dc) source, the system strongly rejects any noise sources at frequencies other than the modulation frequency, providing excellent accuracy.
The dual channel circuit measures the ratio of light absorbed by the liquids in the sample and reference containers at three different wavelengths. This forms the basis of many chemical analysis and environmental monitoring instruments used to measure concentrations and characterize materials through absorption spectroscopy.
Further details of the circuit can be found in the circuit note CN0363

Warning
All the products described on this page include ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000V readily accumulate on the human body or test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the boards feature ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. This includes removing static charge on external equipment, cables, or antennas before connecting to the device.
