B.4.3 Analog Features (RCM4000 only)

The Prototyping Board has typical support circuitry installed to complement the ADS7870 A/D converter on the RCM4000 module (the A/D converter is not available on the RCM4010 module).

B.4.3.1 A/D Converter Inputs

Figure B-6shows a pair of A/D converter input circuits. The resistors form an approx. 9:1 attenuator, and the capacitor filters noise pulses from the A/D converter input. The 10 kΩ inline jumpers allow other configurations (see Table B-6) and provide digital isolation.

Figure B-6. A/D Converter Inputs

 

The A/D converter chip can make either single-ended or differential measurements depending on the value of the opmode parameter in the software function call. Adjacent A/D converter inputs are paired to make differential measurements. The default setup on the Prototyping Board is to measure only positive voltages for the ranges listed in Table B-3.
