Name Mnemonic Description
J6 USB interface Plug the USB cable directly from the PC into this connector. It is a type USB Mini-B socket.
J13-1 Power
Power can be supplied to the board by either the USB cable or the power connector, J13. If L5 is in Position B,
power is supplied via the USB cable. If L5 is in Position A, power is supplied from the J13-1 connector.
J13-2 AGND An external ground can be connected via the J13-2 connector.
J7-2 EXT_VREF
Connector J7-2 can be used to apply a signal to the VREF input on the AD7843/AD7873. L6 must be in
Position A for this connector to be linked to the AD7843/AD7873. If L6 is in Position B, 3.3 V is applied to
the VREF input.
J2 AUX The J2 connector can be used to apply a signal to the AUX input on the AD7843/AD7873.
J5 EXT_BAT
Connector J5 can be used to apply a signal to the VBAT input on the AD7843/AD7873. L7 must be in Position B
for this connector to be linked to the AD7843/AD7873.
J3 Touch screen
The touch screen included with the demonstration kit can be connected directly into the AD7843/AD7873
demonstration board using this connector. Connect as follows: X− to J3-1, Y+ to J3-2, X+ to J3-3, and Y− to J3-4.
J1 Touch screen
This connector can be used to connect a touch screen to the AD7843/AD7873. Connect as follows:
X− to J1-1, Y+ to J1-2, X+ to J1-3, and Y− to J1-4.
LINK FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
Table 2.
Name Mnemonic
Default
Position Description
L1 X+ A
This jumper selects the X+ input on the AD7843/AD7873. If the jumper is in Position A, the X+ input
comes from the J1-3 or J3-3 touch screen connectors.
L2 Y+ A
This jumper selects the Y+ input on the AD7843/AD7873. If the jumper is in Position A, the Y+ input
comes from the J1-2 or J3-2 touch screen connectors.
L3 X− A
This jumper selects the X− input on the AD7843/AD7873. If the jumper is in Position A, the X− input
comes from the J1-1 or J3-1 touch screen connectors.
L4 Y− A
This jumper selects the Y− input on the AD7843/AD7873. If the jumper is in Position A, the Y− input
comes from the J1-4 or J3-4 touch screen connectors.
L5 Input power B
This jumper selects the input power for the evaluation board. If the jumper is in Position A, power
for the board must be supplied through the J13-1connector. If the link is in Position B, the USB
connection supplies the power for the board.
L6 REF input A
This jumper selects the input signal to the reference input on the AD7843/AD7873. If the jumper is
in Position A, REF is connected to Pin 2 of the J7 (J7-2) connector. An input voltage can then be
connected to J7-1. If the link is in Position B, REF is connected to 3.3 V.
L7 BAT input A
This jumper selects the input signal to the VBAT input on the AD7843/AD7873. If the jumper is in
Position B, VBAT is connected to the J5 connector. An input voltage can then be connected to J5. If
the link is in Position A, VBAT is connected to a variable resistor, R9. The user can vary R9 to change
the input voltage on the V
BAT
pin. The maximum resistance of R9 is 10 kΩ.

PENIRQ
This LED indicates when lit (green) that the
PENIRQ
interrupt is active on the AD7843/AD7873.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
RUNNING THE SOFTWARE
The AD7843/AD7873 evaluation software configures the part
in master mode; therefore, unless the screen is touched, no
measurements are taken.
Before running the software, ensure that the evaluation board is
plugged into the USB port of the host PC. Run the software from
the AD7843/73 Evaluation Software directory. When the software
starts, the AD7873 Communication Demo dialog box appears,
as shown in Figure 2.
The user can change the register settings, plot, and save data from
the AD7843/AD7873 and plot the X and Y positions using the
evaluation software.
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
If the software downloads properly, a Download Ok message
appears in the lower left corner of the AD7873 Communication
Demo dialog box. If this message does not appear, the software
has not initialized properly. If this happens, exit the software and
restart it. If an error persists, exit the software, disconnect the USB
connector from the board, reconnect the USB connector to the
board, and reinstall the evaluation software.
Install the software before the evaluation board is plugged into
the host PC. The evaluation software is installed by running the
AD7843/73EvaluationSoftwareInstall.exe program, found on
the CD within the evaluation board kit. The user must agree to
Analog Devices, Inc., licensing agreement before the software
can be installed. The software installs and saves into the
AD7843/73 Evaluation Software directory.

EVALUATION DEMONSTRATION
The evaluation demonstration allows the user to set up the
AD7843/AD7873 control register according to requirements.
The demonstration also displays the X and Y coordinates
SINGLE CONVERSION BLOCK
The Single Conversion Block tab allows user to read and
modify the values of the Control Register bits. By using the
software, the user can program the main features of the
AD7843/ AD7873. When any of the programmable features
change, the control register bit display section is updated
automatically.
Control Register
Users can write to the control register by clicking on the
corresponding bit boxes. The programmable features in the
control register are the following: the power management bits
(PD1, PD0 (LSB)), the single or differential mode (SER/DFR),
the ADC mode (8 bits or 12 bits, Mode), the ADC Channel
Start Address (A2, A1, A0), and the Initiate start (MSB) bit.
The user can read specific conversion results by supplying the
channel address in the control register bits (A2, A1, A0). To
read more than one channel, insert the number of channels you
want read into the Number of Channels box. Click Get Data to
see the results of the ADC conversion on the right side of the
screen.
The user can modify the SPI Clock frequency: setting from
10 kHz to 600 kHz by using the slider shown in Figure 3.
