Interfacing the MAX195 ADC to the TMS320C3X Evaluation Module
Abstract
Application note for interfacing the MAX195 and MAX194 analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) to the TMS320C3X evaluation module. Example demo code is given. The demo software configures the TMS320C30 so that FSR1 and DR1 are inputs and CLKR1 and XF1 are outputs.To read the MAX194/MAX195, the software briefly drives the XF1 output low. The demo software polls the serial receiver until a complete frame has been received. Because this is just an interface demo, the software simply writes the received data word to the EVM host data port.
Overview
The MAX195 16-bit ADC can be interfaced to Texas Instruments' TMS320C30 DSP by means of its serial interface. The interface uses four wires plus ground. This application note explains how to interface the MAX194/MAX195 Evaluation Kit to the TMS320C3X Evaluation Module.
The example program was assembled using the TMS320C3X/4X COFF Assembler Version 4.50 and the TMS320C3X/4F COFF Linker Version 4.50 (copyright 1987 through 1992 by Texas Instruments Incorporated).
Interfacing the MAX194/MAX195 EVKIT to the TMS320C3X EVM
Maxim's MAX194/MAX195 Evaluation Kit can be interfaced to Texas Instruments' TMS320C3X Evaluation Module as follows:
- Set the MAX194/MAX195 EVKIT jumpers according to Table 1.
- Solder a 2-x-5-pin berg strip into MAX194/MAX195 EVKIT area J3. The PC board is already wired as shown in Table 2.
- Connect a +5V power supply to the MAX194/MAX195 EVKIT.
- Connect a 10-pin ribbon cable between the TMS320C3X EVM and the MAX194/MAX195 EVKIT.
- Run the demo software.

How It Works
The demo software (see the program-code listing that follows) configures the TMS320C30 so that FSR1 and DR1 are inputs and CLKR1 and XF1 are outputs. The software uses the XF1 output to initiate a conversion. The XF1 pulse drives the MAX194/MAX195 conversion start input. The CLKR1 output provides the conversion clock to the MAX194/MAX195. Data output from the MAX194/MAX195 is received on the DR1 input. The FSR1 Frame Start signal is driven by the MAX194/MAX195 EOC (End of Conversion) signal, which marks the beginning of the serial frame.
To read the MAX194/MAX195, the software briefly drives the XF1 output low. The demo software polls the serial receiver until a complete frame has been received. Because this is just an interface demo, the software simply writes the received data word to the EVM host data port.
