SBAU126E may 2007 – june 2023 ADS1158 , ADS1258
As noted in Section 1, the EVM interfaces with the PHI and communicates with the host over USB. Figure 4-1 shows how the PHI communicates with two devices on the EVM: the ADS1258 using the serial peripheral interface (SPI) and the EEPROM using the inter-integrated circuit (I2C) interface. The EEPROM comes preprogrammed with the information required to configure and initialize the ADS1258EVM. When the hardware is initialized, no further communication with the EEPROM is necessary and this device can be ignored by the user.
The ADS1258 communicates with the PHI using an SPI interface in mode 00 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0). Header J6 in Figure 4-1 provides test points for all digital signals to and from the PHI controller. The test points can be connected to a logic analyzer for convenient visualization of the digital signals. These test points can also be used to communicate with the ADS1258EVM using an external controller.
