ADS1282EVM-PDK: Input Range issue

Part Number: ADS1282EVM-PDK

. I was wondering if you could help us figure why we can’t get our data values to output proper values. Anytime we use a voltage input greater than 0.8V into the J6 header the data monitor hits its maximum data limit. I am familiar with the max and min input range for this ADC referencing this:

 

And have concluded that our input voltage range should been from -4.3V ~ 3.75V (using the specs specified below) with a typical value of around +/- 0.625. But as you can in our data table below, we don’t get near that range (current input range -0.8 ~ 0.8).

 

Here are the current values we are getting from the data monitor:

 

*Currently using unipolar configuration

*AVSS = 5.199V

* DGND = 0V

* AVDD = 5.190V

*DVDD = 3.300V

*All J7 jumpers are on

  • Hello Steve,

    If using unipolar mode, then AVDD=5V and AVSS=0V.  AVSS cannot be set to 5V as shown above; not sure if this is a typo or the voltage that has been applied to the EVM board.

    Also, with a reference voltage of 1.2V, the maximum full scale input will be +/-0.6V when using a PGA gain of 1.  Since the data max is 3fffffff and c0000000, I assume the SINC filter output is being used.  In this case, you should get 3fffffff with an input differential voltage of +0.6V and c0000000 with an input differential of -0.6V.

    The absolute range is the common mode input range of the ADC referred to ground.  This is not the maximum differential input voltage, which is lower.  The maximum voltage on the AINP and AINN pins with respect to ground (AVDD=5V and AVSS=0V) will then be +0.7V to +3.75V.  The difference between these two inputs is the full scale input range of +/-0.6V.  A typical common mode voltage would be +2.5V.  For positive full scale input voltage of +0.6V, AINP=2.8V, AINN=2.2V.  For negative full scale input voltage of -0.6V, AINP=2.2V and AINN=2.8V.  In all cases, all voltages applied to the input pins are positive voltages with respect to ground when using unipolar supply configuration.
