Overview

The Digilent PmodAD5 is an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that utilizes a fourth order Σ-Δ modulator, a

programmable gain array, and on-chip digital filtering including a variety of sinc filters and zero latency features.

1 Functional Description

The PmodAD5 utilizes Analog Devices AD7193 to provide 4 differential or 8 pseudo differential analog inputs. With

24-bit resolution and rms noise as low as 11 nV, highly accurate voltage measurements can be taken.

2 Interfacing with the Pmod

The PmodAD5 communicates with the host board via the SPI protocol. By driving the Chip Select line low, users can

transfer information to and from the device with the most significant bit (MSB) first.

The default setting of the AD7193 upon power-up is that a single analog-to-digital conversion is made comparing

the voltage difference between pins A1 (+) and A2 (-) on header J2. The input voltage that is allowed with the

default settings is ±19.53 mV with respect to the on-board reference voltage of 2.5V. Users are able to receive the

The PmodAD5.

Users can then write to the communications register to indicate that they want to read the data and then clock in the 24 bits of data from the data register and finally pull the chip select line back to a high voltage state.
