The analog board has several configuration jumpers. The
most important of these jumpers are the analog input selection jumpers (JMP1, JMP15, and JMP21-24). Direct connection allows both the positive and negative input of the
part to be provided by external sources (see Figure 1). To
connect directly to the inputs (J3 and J4), set the jumpers as
shown in Table I.

CONNECTING THE HARDWARE
The ADS1250 demonstration system contains two printed
circuit boards. The first board is the computer interface
board (A2702), which handles data buffering and parallel
port communication. The second is the analog board (PR277)
which contains the ADS1250 and all the support circuitry.
The computer interface board buffers the data from the
ADS1250 chip so that the data can be transferred to the
computer for analysis. The data link between the interface
board and the computer is comparatively slow, so the data is
first stored in buffer memory on the interface board and then
transferred to the computer. The Intel-compatible computer
connects to the interface board via the 25-pin cable. The
female end of the cable connects to J1 on the interface board.
The male end of the cable connects to the female parallel
port connector on the back of the computer.
The analog board connects to the interface board via a 36conductor ribbon cable. The cable is designed to lay flat in
between the boards. Do not twist the ribbon cable when
connecting the two boards (the connectors are not polarized). It does not matter which direction the ribbon cable
exits the connector.
Both boards must now be connected to a +5V DC supply
(the same unit can supply both boards). Connector P3 on the
interface board is the DC power input. Connector J1 on the
analog board is the other DC power input. Connector J5 on
the analog board is the DC power for the ±15V supply.
NOTE: Parallel ports are female 25-pin connectors, serial
ports are male 25-pin connectors. Do not connect to a serial
port.
Do not “daisy-chain” the interface board with any other
device. The demonstration board was designed to work on a
dedicated parallel port.

The analog input can also be shorted directly to demonstrate
rms noise. To short the analog input, set the jumpers for
direct connection. Disconnect any sources at J3 and J4, and
connect jumper JMP17.
If the user wants to provide an arbitrary common-mode
signal, single-ended connection allows the input to be converted from two single-ended sources to a differential input
for the chip. J4 is the input for the signal, and J3 is the input
for the common-mode voltage (see Figure 3). The conversion circuitry is connected by the jumper settings in
Table III.

NOTE: Remember to remove the shorting jumper after the
test.
If an external reference is to be used, connect the reference
voltage to J2. To select the external reference voltage, set
JMP11 to position 2-3. To return to the internal voltage, set
JMP11 to position 1-2.

There are several jumper locations on the board that do not
have header pins installed. These jumpers were included in
case the user wished to directly connect a logic analyzer or
apply external digital signals. For logic analyzers, a wire
may be soldered into one of the open pin holes. For external
digital signals, cut the copper trace on the board in between
the jumpers. Refer to Figure 15 for connections of the
jumpers.

INSTALLING A PART IN THE SOCKET
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The Robinson Nugent low profile socket on the analog
board has an ADS1250 installed as part of the kit. If the user
wants to change the part, use caution to properly orient the
part in the socket.
To install the software, first close all applications running on
the computer. If you do not close all applications, the install
may fail because a Windows system file could be in use.
Insert Disk 1 into the floppy disk drive. Click on the Start
button. Select RUN... and type A:setup in the dialog box
(assuming that A: is the drive that the disk is in). The setup
installation program will prompt for the installation directory (the default is recommended). The installation program
will prompt when the other disks in the set are needed.
The latching cover can be removed by using a small screwdriver or pair of tweezers to dislodge the mounting clips at
either end of the lead cover (remember to turn the power off
before attempting). The new part is placed with pin 1
(nearest the small dimple in the package) oriented to the
label “PIN 1” on the silkscreen (see Figure 4). There should
be no space between the part and pin 1 in the socket.
The setup program installs or updates all the necessary
Windows system DLLs and OCX controls. The actual program files are stored in C:\program files\demo1250. Setup
will also create an icon in the Start menu for the Demo1250
program.
If it is necessary to remove the Demo1250 software, open
the control panel and click on Add/Remove Programs. The
Demo1250 software will be listed as an option for uninstall.
COLLECTING DATA FOR THE FIRST TIME

TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the red LED on the analog board is not lit, then +5V is
not being applied to the board.
• If either of the green LEDs on the interface board is not lit,
the Xilinx chips are not loaded properly. This may occur
if power is not applied or the socketed chips (U1, U2, U5
and U6) are not making a good connection.
• The Xilinx chips will fail to load (no green LEDs) if the
rise time of the +5V DC power supply is less than 25ms.
• There should not be a twist in the cable between the PC
interface board and the analog board.
• The cable for the parallel port does not require any type of
adapter to connect to the PC. The connector on the PC will
be a 25-pin female connector.
FIGURE 5. ADS1250 Demonstration Software Screen.
• If the supply wires are accidentally connected backwards,
correct the problem and then wait approximately 20 seconds before applying power. The supply lines have
resettable fuses which must cool down before they will
reset.
The next step is to set the program for the correct parallel
port. Click on the menu titled “Settings” and an options
dialog box will appear. Click on the tab labeled “Computer”.
Press the button labeled “Run Autodetect” and the program
will display the parallel ports detected on the computer.

Set the combo box for the port address of the parallel port the
interface board is connected to. Click on “OK” (see
Figure 6).
SETTING HARDWARE OPTIONS FOR THE ADS1250
FIGURE 6. Parallel-Port Detection Screen.
FIGURE 8. Hardware Configuration Screen.
The option dialog will disappear and the empty graph will
display again. To retrieve data from the board, click on the
menu icon that looks like a camera (or press CTRL-D). If
everything is working correctly, the status bar at the bottom
of the window will count up and a time domain graph of the
collected data will appear on the screen, as shown in
Figure 7.
The “Hardware” tab of the options dialog box will allow
changes to the following parameters:
Clicking on the menu option “Settings” will open up the
options dialog box shown in Figure 8.
Gain Range: Click on the radio button for the gain setting
that is to be used.
Output Format: This option controls the display of the data
on the time domain graph. Unchanged integer is the data
directly from the chip. Full-Scale Normalized to 1 adjusts
the data so that full-scale range is ±1 (the data from the chip
is scaled). Voltage adjusts the data so that the display is in
volts (assuming a 4.1V reference).
Chip Select: By default, chip select is only active when
communication with the chip occurs. Setting this option
forces chip select to be active all the time.
Serial Clock: It is only necessary to pulse the data clock
when data is being shifted out of the chip. Setting this option
forces the data clock to be on all the time.
Serial Synchronization: Communication with the chip is
normally synchronized to the rising edge of the main clock.
Setting this option forces the data to synchronize with the
falling edge of the clock.
Read-Back Delay: This option adds a delay time between
chip select asserted low and serial clock pulses. The number
displayed represents the number of clock cycles.
FIGURE 7. Data Retrieval Screen.
Serial Frequency: This option reduces the clock frequency
of the serial clock. The default clock frequency is fs/2, where
fs is the main clock frequency.
To adjust the number of samples retrieved from the board,
move the slider at the bottom of the window or insert the
desired number into the numerical display. For detailed
software instructions, read the section titled “Exploring
Retrieved Data.”
Oscillator Frequency: This adjusts software delays and the
FFT plot, if the user replaces the oscillator on the interface
board with another frequency. The oscillator frequency is
not changed by this option; it is simply used to display
information in the proper format.
If the graph did not display or if a flat line is displayed,
recheck all the cable connections for data and power to the
two demo boards.

EXPLORING RETRIEVED DATA
In order to activate any of the changes, the button “OK” or
“Apply” must be pressed after the changes are made. If the
button “Cancel” is pressed or the window is closed, no
changes will be made.
Retrieving Data
There are two methods for data retrieval: single capture and
continuous read. For single capture, press the toolbar button
that looks like a camera, or type CTRL-D. This will trigger
a single read cycle.
NOTE: The ADS1250 does not support “Chip select always
low” and “Serial clock always on” at the same time.
Continuous read mode will trigger a new read cycle 0.5
seconds after the previous cycle is done. To activate continuous read, press the toolbar button that looks like a stopwatch,
or type CRTL-R. To deactivate continuous read, simply
repeat the command.
SETTING FFT OPTIONS FOR THE ADS1250
Clicking on the menu option “Settings” and selecting the
“FFT” tab will open up the options dialog box shown in
Figure 9.
At the bottom of the main window is a scroll bar and text
box. This is the control for the number of samples collected.
Slide the bar or input a new number in the box to change the
number of samples. The maximum number of samples that
can be collected is 32,768.
Viewing Data
Data can be viewed on screen four different ways: as a time
domain plot, a Fast Fourier Transform, a hexadecimal table,
or as a histogram. To select the different views, choose from
among the four buttons on the toolbar or select from the
View menu.
FIGURE 10. Toolbar.
FIGURE 9. FFT Configuration Screen.
Graph Options
The “FFT” tab of the options dialog box will allow changes
to the following parameters:
All the selections for changing the display of the graphs are
accessed by right-clicking on the graph itself. This will
display a small pop-up list of options as shown in
Figure 11.
FFT Window: This group of radio buttons allows selection
of different windows for the FFT data. For evaluations of a
low noise part like the ADS1250, sophisticated windows
like Continuous 5th Derivative and Blackman-Harris are
recommended.
Calculations: The calculations for the SNR, THD, SFDR,
and SINAD are based on the number of FFT bins shown. If
a different resolution is required, the number of bins used
can be changed here.
Display: For further insight into the FFT calculations, the
checkboxes in this section will display markers on the FFT
plot which define the bin boundaries used.
In order to activate any of the changes, the button “OK” or
“Apply” must be pressed after the changes are made. If the
button “Cancel” is pressed or the window is closed, no
changes will be made.

Viewing Style selects color or black and white display. Font
Size changes the size of the titles and labels on the graph.
Numeric Precision changes the number of significant digits
after the decimal point. Plotting Method allows the selection
of different plot types (e.g., line, bar, point, etc.). Data
Shadows displays a dark background behind the data in
some plotting methods. Grid Lines controls the display of
the X and Y axis grid lines. Grid In Front is used to force the
display of the grid. Include Data Labels will display the X
and Y coordinates of every point on the graph. Mark Data
Points will place a marker at each data point for easy
viewing.
The export dialog allows the user to choose between a
Windows MetaFile (for embedding into another application), a bitmap (a exact replica of what is displayed on the
screen), and text. The user can also export to the clipboard,
a file, or the printer.
Saving Data
Aside from exporting data from the graphs, it is possible to
save the collected data directly to a text file. Choosing Save
from the File menu will save data to a comma-delimited text
file that is compatible with Microsoft Excel (.csv).
The data which is saved depends on the active plot. If the
time domain plot is visible, the time domain points will be
saved to the disk. If the FFT plot is visible, then the
individual points of the FFT will be saved.
The time domain data is saved in a single column as shown
in Figure 13. The FFT data is also saved in a single column
as shown in Figure 14.
To have the graph fill the entire screen, select the Maximize
option. This option is useful as a print preview of the graph.
To add annotation to the graph, such as custom titles, select
the Customization Dialog option. This will open a dialog
screen which will allow edits of titles and labels.
Zooming
To zoom in on any section of the time domain graph, simply
left-click and drag over the area of interest. A shaded box
will appear when dragging over the area. To undo the zoom,
right-click to display the pop-up menu and choose the option
for Undo Zoom.
The FFT graph will only zoom on the X axis.
Printing
Printing may be started by pressing the printer icon, or by
selecting Print from the File menu. A small dialog box will
appear and allow printer selection and setup. Page setup may
also be accessed through the File menu.
The print function only prints the current graph. The hexadecimal table will not print.
Exporting Data
To export data to other applications, right-click on the
current graph and choose the option for export dialog shown
in Figure 12.
