ADS1278EVM-PDK: ADS1278EVM-PDK Current Consumption

Part Number: ADS1278EVM-PDK

Hi, 

i need to know current consumption by ADS1278EVM module, which is required for power budget.

  • Hi Phanindra,

    I noticed the other day that you asked for a 3-D CAD model of the ADS1278EVM-PDK and now you have this question about its power consumption.  Can I ask what you are working on here?  What power budget are you concerned with?

  • Hi Tom,

    Currently we are designing data acquisition system which collects data from pressure transducers and gives output in 4-20mA  loop current format, we contacted TI India for the suggestions on ADC.

    they suggested us ADS1278EVM, as we using evaluation board Directly in our system, currently we are in Process of Evaluating it in terms of its performance, Feasibility with our mechanical Enclosure.

    i am trying to choose LDO to power up this EVM, so i didn't get power consumption details by this EVM from the manual provided. 

  • Hi Phanindra,

    Thank you for the detail.  Is this a 'one of a kind' system then, like a test bench or do you plan to build multiple systems?  I ask because using our EVM in a production environment is prohibited, please review the ADS1278EVM-PDK Users Guide, page 23 section 1 and subsections 1.1 - 1.2.

  • Hi Tom,

    this will not go for production, we  are working on  Proof of Concept (POC) for our Design.

  • Good to know!

    When using the on-board +/-10V supplies, you need a 5V source with ~900mA capability.
