ADS1258 QFN Socket

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1258

Dear TI!

I am looking for QFN Socket adapter for prototyping ADS1258. Could you offer me a good one that can I use to connect jumper wires? 

Thank you in advance and any suggestion welcome,

  • Hi Daniel,

    Are you looking for a protoboard? (Here is a link to a socket, but I don't think that is what you need).

    There is the ADS1258EVM that has headers to connect to most of the ADS1258 pins. Other than the EVM, I don't know of any other resources offered by TI.

    You could search for boards like this one: http://www.aprilog.com/images/48QFN20-D6-SMT-S.jpg

    The ADS1258 is a 48-pin QFN with 0.5mm pitch. Here is the mechanical data: http://www-s.ti.com/sc/psheets/mpqf140c/mpqf140c.pdf

  • Dear Chris,

    You are very helpful. Thank you for your answer.  Actually my problem is a little bit more complicated. If you don't mind let me write it down here, and if its required I'm gonna start a new thread for that.

    What I would like to achieve a solution that can be found in the ADS1258 datasheet page 45. / Figure 68 Bridge Input Single Supply Operation. 

    I have already tested the ADS1258EVM and work very well also the SPI communication thanks to your support. Now I would like make the next step and make a prototype board as Figure 68 shows without amplification. 

    I have already had a QFN socket and also the ADS1258 that fits into. At first I would like to establish the SPI communication and later I will focus on the precision ADC.

    Somehow I can not communicate with the device.(When I start this post I supposed that the problem could be the socked, but it seems it is OK.)

    My code works well with the ADS1258EVM but fails with my hardware.

    Created a table where you can see the PIN and connections. These pins are connected directly to my MCU via jumper wires.

    I have common ground for Analog and Digital signals.

  • OK, I got it. I forgot the pin the XTAL and PLLCAP inputs. :) 

    Thank you!

  • Hi Daniel,

    Good find!

    Let me know if you have any other questions.
