ADC Block Functional Diagram

  • Single Inputs - Four single inputs are available. The reference voltage for each is produced internal to the ADC.

  • Differential Pairs - Use two inputs to create a differential pair. Useful for eliminating noise in some sensors.

  • I2C Address Select - Apply solder to (only) one of the four jumpers to select the address.

  • Expansion Header - The 70-pin Expansion header breaks out the functionality of the Intel Edison. This header also passes signals and power throughout the stack. These function much like an Arduino Shield.
