Getting started with the STEVAL-AKI002V1 evaluation board for the ADC1283
analog-to-digital converter

Introduction

The STEVAL-AKI002V1 evaluation board allows evaluating the conversion performance of the ADC1283 eight-channel analogto-digital converter, which is designed for 50 ksps to 200 ksps conversion.
The board can accept external signals to measure and evaluate the ADC1283 conversion performance, based on its successive approximation register (SAR) with an internal track-and-hold cell.
A reference voltage is also present on the board that can be connected to one of the channels through a jumper.
The board can be supplied in standalone mode. It can also be connected to a NUCLEO-L476RG development board hosting an STM32 microcontroller, which enables further signal processing and PC communication.
To monitor the STEVAL-AKI002V1 performance, when connected to the NUCLEO- L476RG, you can use the STSW-AKI GUI.

Getting started

1.1 Features

  • Six direct inputs with RC filters (301 ohms/10 nF)
  • One input switchable between a direct input and a reference voltage, given by a TS3431 buffered by a TSX711
  • One input with a rail-to-rail amplifier (TSV772 with a gain equals to -1)
  • SPI communication with Aardvark compatible pinout

1.2 Main components
1.2.1 ADC1283
The ADC1283 is a low-power, eight-channel CMOS 12-bit analog-to-digital converter for conversion from 50 ksps
to 200 ksps, tested at 200 ksps (3.2 MHz clock frequency).
The architecture is based on a successive-approximation register with an internal track-and-hold cell.
The ADC1283 features eight single-ended multiplexed inputs. The output serial data is straight binary and is SPI compatible.
1.2.2 TS3431
The TS3431 is an adjustable shunt voltage reference with guaranteed temperature stability over the entire operating temperature range (- 40°C to + 125°C).
The output voltage can be set to any value between 1.24 and 24 V through an external resistor bridge.
Available in a SOT23-3 surface mount package, it can be used in application designs where space saving is critical.
1.2.3 TSX711
The TSX711 operational amplifier offers high precision functioning with low input offset voltage down to a maximum of 200 µV at 25°C. In addition, thanks to its rail-to-rail input and output functionality, it can be used on a full range input and output without limitations.
Thus, the TSX711 has the big advantage of offering a large span of supply voltages, ranging from 2.7 to 16 V.
The low input bias current performance makes the device extremely suited when used for signal conditioning in sensor interface applications.
The high ESD tolerance (4 kV HBM) and wide temperature range make the device suitable also for the automotive market segment.
1.2.4 TSV7722
The TSV7722 is a 22 MHz-bandwidth unity-gain-stable amplifier. The input offset voltage of 200 µV max. (50 µV typical) at room temperature, optimized for common-mode close to ground, makes the device ideal for low-side current measurements.
The TSV7722 can operate from 1.8 to 5.5 V single supply, on a load of 47 pF, allowing an easy usage as A/D converter input buffer.
The device offers rail-to-rail output, excellent speed/power consumption ratio, and 22 MHz gain bandwidth product, while consuming just 1.7 mA at 5 V.
It also features an ultra-low input bias current that enables the connection to photodiodes and other sensors where the current is the key value to be measured.
These features make the TSV7722 ideal for high-accuracy, high-bandwidth sensor interfaces.

How to use the board

To use the board, follow the procedure below.
Step 1. Connect the power generators to AVCC and DVCC connectors.
The allowed voltages for AVCC and DVCC are 2.7 to 5.5 V.

Communication with the ADC1283

Option A: use the STSW-AKI GUI
The STEVAL-AKI002V1 can be used with the STSW-AKI GUI. To use it. It is necessary to use a nucleo-64 L476RG.
The STSW-AKI runs on an STM32 Nucleo-64 development board. It communicates with the ADC1283 of the STEVAL-AKI002V1 through the SPI protocol at 125 ksps.
The STSW-AKI allows the user to monitor each channel and plot data on a graph. It is also a tool to save values measured by the ADC1283 in a .csv file.
For more information on the STSW-AKI GUI, go to the relevant ST web page.

Board section 1 Option B: use the STEVAL-AKI002V1 directly with your test solution
The STEVAL-AKI002V1 can be plugged directly to your solution.
The SPI communication to access to the ADC1283 registers giving access to the measured values of each channel is shown in the next tables.

VREF measurement and inverter amplifier

A) 1.8 V reference voltage on channel 6
The STEVAL-AKI002V1 includes a reference voltage based on a TS3431 and buffered by a TSX711.
This reference voltage can be measured on the channel IN6 by selecting “REF” on the J07 jumper.
The reference voltage varies slightly according to the voltage supply. It is still stable around 1.8 V. Hence, it is possible to use it to control the voltage supply applied on the ADC1283 and calibrate it.

-voltageB) Inverter amplifier with a gain of -1 on IN7
On the IN7 input, a TSV772 is used in the inverter function with a gain of -1.
This gives the opportunity to test the functionality of the TSV772 and measure negative values through the ADC1283.
This inverter is directly connected to IN7. The negative value between -AVCC and GND must be applied on IN7.
