The ISO ADC 2 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board that represents a completely isolated 12-bit, 300 kSPS data acquisition system. This board features the AD7091R, a successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Analog Devices. It uses the 3-wire SPI serial interface for data communication, achieving up to 1 MSPS throughput rate. This Click Board™ also features the ADU 4-Channel Isolator with DC-DC Converter M5401, isolated DC-DC converter used to isolate the logic signals, power, and feedback paths in the DC-DC converter resulting in total isolation solution. Many features such as high throughput rate with ultralow power consumption, wide input bandwidth, accuracy, and speed make it an ideal choice for a wide variety of industrial measurements, data acquisition systems, monitoring functions, and many more.
The ISO ADC 2 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click Board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
How Does The ISO ADC 2 Click Board™ Work?
The ISO ADC 2 Click Board™ is based on the AD7091R, a 12-bit successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with an isolated DC-DC converter, from Analog Devices. This Click board™ allows single-supply operation and consists of three Analog Devices active components: AD8616 a level shifting circuit, AD7091R an ADC stage and ADuM5401 an output isolation stage. The AD8616 is chosen for this application because of its low offset voltage, low bias current, and low noise. The output of the OpAmp is 0.1 V to 2.4 V which matches the input range of the ADC (0 V to 2.5 V) with a 100 mV safety margin to maintain linearity. A single-pole RC filter (R2/C9) follows the OpAmp output stage to reduce the out-of-band noise.

The next part of the circuit is the AD7091R, ADC that is chosen because of its ultralow power which is significantly lower than any competitive A/D converter. It features a power-down option, implemented across the serial interface to save power between conversions, described in the Modes of Operation section in the datasheet. After a successful conversion, the ADC sends the data to the MCU that goes through galvanic isolation provided by the ADuM5401 quad-channel digital isolator with an integrated DC-DC converter. The isolator has a secondary side controller architecture with isolated pulse-width modulation (PWM) feedback, and it works on the principle that is common to most switching power supplies.
The ISO ADC 2 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the 3-wire SPI serial interface that operates at clock rates up to 50 MHz used for accessing data from the result register and controlling the modes of operation of the device. The CONVST signal of the AD7091R routed to the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ is used to initiate the conversion process, data acquisition, and to select the mode of operation. This ADC requires the user to initiate a software reset upon Power-Up, and it should be noted that failure to apply the correct software reset command may result in a device malfunction.
The ISO ADC 2 Click Board™ uses the SPI communication interface with both 3.3V and 5V. The onboard SMD jumper labelled as VCC SEL allows voltage selection for interfacing with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs. More information about the AD7091R's functionality, electrical specifications, and typical performance can be found in the attached datasheet. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy to use functions and a usage example that may be used as a reference for the development.

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The ISO ADC 2 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
