The amplifiers and reference can be configured with jumpers. The amplifier jumpers (JP00–JP05) determine if the amplifier is used or if an external signal is directly connected to the ADC input. JP06 is used to select either the internal or external reference option. Make sure that the GUI configuration for the device reference matches the setting of JP06. The GUI software starts up in the internal reference mode, so make sure the JP06 is in the INT position. Table 6-1 lists the various jumper settings for the ADS8555EVM.
JUMPER | SETTING | DEFAULT | FUNCTION |
---|---|---|---|
JP00–JP05 | AMP/BYPS | AMP | These eight jumpers determine if the amplifier is used to buffer the inputs signals or if the amplifier is bypassed. Choosing AMP connects the amplifier between each SMA connector (JP00–JP05) and the ADC input. The default amplifier configuration is noninverting (gain = 1 V/V). The amplifier gain configuration can be adjusted by soldering and desoldering different resistors. Choosing the bypass configuration (BYPS) connects the SMA connectors directly to the ADC input. |
JP06 | INT/EXT | INT | This jumper selects either the internal or external mode on the voltage reference. Using the internal mode disconnects the external reference. Using the external mode connects the external REF5025 2.5-V reference to the ADC reference input. Make sure that the GUI settings for the voltage reference match the setting on this jumper. |
