ADS8881 change sampling frequency

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS8881, ADCPRO

Hi all,

When I test ADS8881 with ADS888XEVM, it seems I cannot change the sampling frequency on the chip. The chip sampling frequency is fixed at 44100 SPS even though I type in 1MHz in ADCPro.

Does anyone find this problem before? Is my setup wrong?

Here are two test setup. No window function is used.

Thanks

  • Hi Fan,

    You are using what is called “Triple Generator”, which is included in ADCpro as a generic EVM signal emulator, but it is not the ADS8881 software.

    As it is specified in page 9 of the ADS8881EVM user guide, before using the ADS8881EVM with ADCpro, you need to install the ADS8881 software found at the product folder:
    www.ti.com/tool/ads8881evm-pdk

    Then, if the EVM is properly powered up and configured, you should be able to change sampling rate as shown below:
