4.1 External Power Connections and Test Points

The screw terminal block J1 is used to connect the external high voltage supplies. These supplies are not provided in the evaluation module kit and the expectation is that a low-noise lab supply is used to provide this power (for example, Keysight™ E3632A). The high-voltage supplies have transient voltage suppressor diodes to help protect the ADC from transients. These supplies are typically connected to ±15 V. For details on operation, see the ADS8555 data sheet. Figure 4-1 also shows how each supply has a light-emitting diode (LED) monitor for quick verification that power is applied.
