EVAL-AD7634 - External serial clock

Hello,

I recently acquired an EVAL-AD7634 board and wish to operate it as stand-alone (serial slave mode), with a TI DSP TMS320F28335 as serial master. I would like to know if it's possible to provide the serial clock from the DSP to the ADC through the pin SCLK (connector P3 pin C7) . In page 3 of the related datasheet states that in this mode, SCLK (slave serial clock) = MCLK, which is a fixed clock frequency of 40MHz provided by oscillator U12.

Thanks in advance.

  • I have one more question: When using the external CNVST (SMB connector J3) , there is a 50 Ohm resistor (two 100Ohm resistors in parallel - R28 and R30) as a pull-down to this input, and a 1MOhm (R36) as a pull-up.

    Is there a reason for this pull-down? Considering that CNVST is a LOW-ACTIVE input, I believe that this impedance would sink too much power (3.3^2/50 = 217mW) while the ADC waits for the Start-Of-Conversion low-pulse.

    When using the internal CNVST, this pull-down doesn't exist (see jumper JP22). Instead, there is only an 49.9Ohm serial resistor (R68).
