Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX11131 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested PCB
that evaluates the 16-channel, 12-bit, SPI-compatible,
3Msps ADC. All digital signals are generated using the
on-board FPGA (U2).
Power Supply
A +5V power supply is required to power up the EV kit.
Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the
VIN test point and the negative terminal to the nearest
GND test point.
User-Supplied Digital Supply (OVDD)
The digital supply is configurable using jumper JU2.
When the shunt is in the 1-2 position on jumper JU2, the
on-board +3.3V is used. To use a user-supplied OVDD,
move the shunt to the 2-3 position on JU2 and apply
+1.5V to +3.6V at the EXT_OVDD test point.
On-Board Input Buffers
On-board input buffers (U8, U9, U16, and U17) are
provided on the EV kit. To power the on-board buffers,
connect the +5V, GND, and -5V terminals of the power
supply to the OP+, GND, and OP- test points, respectively.
Analog Input 0
To use the on-board input buffer, move the shunt on
jumper JU17 to the 1-4 position and remove the shunts on
jumpers JU25 and JU26.
The user can connect the input signal to the AIN0-_SMA
(or the AIN0- test point) and connect the DC offset to the
AIN0+ test point. If the input signal is AC-coupling, the
DC offset can be accomplished by simply connecting to
the 1-2 position on jumper JU21.
The input signal can connect to AIN0+_SMA if it has
V(REF+)/2 DC offset and is connecting to the 2-3 posi-
tion on JU21.
Jumper JU17 allows other options for the AIN0 input of
the ADC. When a shunt is placed in the 1-2 position on
JU17, the analog input can also be generated by the
resistor ladder. When a shunt is placed in the 1-3 position
on JU17, the analog input signal can be applied at the
header H1-2 pin.
Move the shunt on jumer JU17 to the 1-5 position and
connect the measuring signal directly to the AIN0 input
of the ADC. Then connect the measuring signal to the
AIN0+_SMA or AIN0+ test point. The buffer still needs
to be powered up to prevent loading on the input signal.
Analog Input 1
To use the on-board input buffer, move the shunt on
jumper JU18 to the 1-4 position and remove the shunts on
jumpers JU27 and JU28.
The user can connect the input signal to the AIN1-_SMA
(or the AIN1- test point) and connect the DC offset to the
AIN1+ test point. If the input signal is AC-coupling, the
DC offset can be accomplished by simply connecting to
the 1-2 position on jumper JU22.
The input signal can connect to AIN1+_SMA if it has
V(REF+)/2 DC offset and is connecting to the 2-3 posi-
tion on JU22.
Jumper JU18 allows other options for the AIN1 input of
the ADC. When a shunt is placed in the 1-2 position on
JU18, the analog input can also be generated by the
resistor ladder. When a shunt is placed in the 1-3 position
on JU18, the analog input signal can be applied at the
header H1-4 pin.
Move the shunt on JU18 to the 1-5 position and con-
nect the measuring signal directly to the AIN1 input
of the ADC. Then connect the measuring signal to the
AIN1+_SMA or AIN1+ test point. The buffer still needs
to be powered up to prevent loading on the input signal.
Analog Input 2
To use the on-board input buffer, move the shunt on
jumper JU19 to the 1-4 position and remove the shunts
on jumpers JU29 and JU30.
The user can connect the input signal to the AIN2-_SMA
(or the AIN2- test point) and connect the DC offset to the
AIN2+ test point. If the input signal is AC-coupling, the
DC offset can be accomplished by simply connecting to
the 1-2 position on JU23.
The input signal can connect to AIN2+_SMA if it has
V(REF+)/2 DC offset and is connecting to the 2-3 posi-
tion on JU23.
Jumper JU19 allows other options for the AIN2 input of
the ADC. When a shunt is placed in the 1-2 position on
JU19, the analog input can also be generated by the
resistor ladder. When a shunt is placed in the 1-3 position
on JU19, the analog input signal can be applied at the
header H1-6 pin.
Move the shunt on JU19 to the 1-5 position and
connect the measuring signal directly to the AIN2 input
of the ADC. Then connect the measuring signal to the
AIN2+_SMA or AIN2+ test point. The buffer still needs
to be powered up to prevent loading on the input signal.

Analog Input 3
To use the on-board input buffer, move the shunt on
jumper JU20 to the 1-4 position and remove the shunts on
jumpers JU31 and JU32.
The user can connect the input signal to the AIN3-_SMA
(or the AIN3- test point) and connect the DC offset to the
AIN3+ test point. If the input signal is AC-coupling, the
DC offset can be accomplished by simply connecting to
the 1-2 position on jumper JU24.
The input signal can connect to AIN3+_SMA if it has
V(REF+)/2 DC offset and is connecting to the 2-3 posi-
tion on JU24.
Jumper JU20 allows other options for the AIN3 input of
the ADC. When a shunt is placed in the 1-2 position on
jumper JU20, the analog input can also be generated
by the resistor ladder. When a shunt is placed in the 1-3
position on JU20, the analog input signal can be applied
at the header H1-8 pin.
Move the shunt on JU20 to the 1-5 position and con-
nect the measuring signal directly to the AIN3 input
of the ADC. Then connect the measuring signal to the
AIN3+_SMA or AIN3+ test point. The buffer still needs
to be powered up to prevent loading on the input signal.
Analog Inputs 4–15
Analog inputs 4–15 have only two jumper options:
connection to the H1 header or to the resistor ladder.
See Table 1 for jumpers JU4–JU13, JU15, and JU16
settings. When using the resistor ladder option, a refer-
ence voltage must be applied at the REF+ pin of the IC.
Crosstalk on Analog Inputs
When an AC signal is applied at the analog inputs
0–3, the EV kit sees some crosstalk across the other
channels (4–15) that are connected to the resistor
ladder. The impedance on the resistor ladder is too high to
discharge the input capacitors of the channels and
causes crosstalk on the channels.
Use resistor ladder is for functional evaluation only. The
input source impedance must not be more than 10I to
guarantee the performance or avoid crosstalk.
Coherent Sampling
Setup Using 10MHz EXT CLK
The EV kit provides a 10MHz clock to let the user perform
coherent sampling by synchronizing the input source
with this clock. Coherent sampling is required to get
the best performance out of the part. The relationship
between fin, fs, Ncycles, and Msamples is given as follows:
cycles
in
s samples
N
f=
fM
where:
fin = Input frequency
fs = Sampling frequency
Ncycles = Number of cycles in the sampled set
Msamples = Total number of samples
In this case, set fin as 499.9694kHz for 32,768 samples
to get 5461 cycles at 3Msps. Figure 5 shows the FFT of
the signal.
Conversion Start (CNVST)
When analog input 14 is not used, remove the shunt
from jumper JU15 and apply an active-low signal to the
CNVST test point to start the conversion.
Negative Reference Voltage (REF-)
When analog input 15 is not used, remove the shunt from
jumper JU16 and apply -0.3V to +1V to the REF- test point.
Positive Reference Voltage (REF+)
There are three options for the positive reference voltage.
When the shunt is in the 1-2 position on jumper JU3, the
user must apply an external reference voltage from +1V
to VDD + 50mV at the EXT_REF+ test point. The EV kit
also features two on-board references (2.5V and 2.048V)
when JU3 is in the 1-3 and 1-4 position.
User-Supplied Supply (VDD)
The IC can be powered using the on-board supply or a
user-supplied VDD. When the shunt is in the 1-2 position
on jumper JU1, the on-board +3.3V is used. To use a
user-supplied VDD, move the shunt to the 2-3 position
on JU1 and apply +2.35V to +3.6V at the EXT_VDD test
point.
User-Supplied Digital Supply (OVDD)
The digital supply can use the on-board supply or a
user-supplied OVDD. When the shunt is in the 1-2
position on jumper JU2, the on-board +3.3V is used.
To use a user-supplied OVDD, move the shunt to the
2-3 position on JU2 and apply +1.5V to +3.6V at the
EXT_OVDD test point.
