HOW DOES IT WORK?

AD-SWIO 3 Click is based on the AD74115H, a single-channel, software-configurable input and output with HART mode, and ADP1034, a 3-channel isolated micropower management unit with seven digital isolators and programmable power control both from Analog Devices. The AD74115H has a single-channel input and output, which can be configured as voltage input, current input, voltage output, current output, digital input, digital output, 2/3/4-wire RTD measurement, or thermocouple measurement input. It features a 16-bit, Σ-Δ analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a 14-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), with a high accuracy 2.5V on-chip reference that can be used both for ADC and DAC.

You can connect the desired load to terminals labeled I/OP and I/ON for analog output, analog input, and digital input functions. To apply a stimulus to the two auxiliary high-voltage sense pins, use I/O EXT1 and I/O EXT2 terminals. The resistance measurements can be made between those four terminals, depending on the number of wires RTD. For instance, take 2-wire resistance measurements between the I/OP and I/ON terminals. The integrated HART modem can transmit and receive signals to and from the I/OP terminal. For more info, check the datasheet. Four LEDs (GPIOA, GPIOB, GPIOC, GPIOD) can be configured in several ways to represent digital input, digital output, external or internal conditions, and more. An onboard thermistor is connected to the AD74115H, which can measure the board's temperature.

The ADP1034 provides power and isolation to the AD74115H. A flyback regulator supply voltage of 24V can be applied over the VINP terminal. You can control the flyback regulator slew rate over the SLEW jumper between the slowest and normal as default. You can also choose the highest by leaving the SLEW pin open. The ZA9644-AED, a flyback transformer from Coilcraft, is used for flyback regulator operation.

AD-SWIO 3 Click uses a standard 4-wire SPI serial interface of the AD74115H through the isolation that provides the ADP1034 to communicate with the host MCU. You can reset the AD74115H over the RST pin. When a new sequence of ADC conversion is ready to be read, the RDY will be asserted. Also, the alert ALR pin will be asserted when the alert condition is met. All those lines pass through an isolation barrier of the ADP1034 on its way to the host MCU.

This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
