SBAU435 February 2024 ADS127L18
Figure 3-9 shows the digital connections between the ADS127L18EVM and the PHI. The ADS127L18 ADC uses SPI serial communication in mode 1 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 1) to configure the internal registers and a Frame-Sync Data Port for conversion data. Because the serial clock (SCLK) frequency and data clock (DCLK) frequency can be as fast as 32.768MHz, the ADS127L18EVM offers 10Ω resistors between the digital signals to aid with signal integrity. Typically, in high-speed SPI and Frame-Sync communication, fast signal edges can cause overshoot; these 10Ω resistors slow down the signal edges to minimize signal overshoot. Headers J3, J4, and J5 provides test points to measure the digital signals or to connect the ADS127L18EVM to an FPGA development board.
