===Power Details===

The ADC is powered by the +5V power island, regulated by an off-board power supply, and decoupled near the ADC. It also requires a precise (±1%) 2.5V reference to which it compares voltages when converting from analog to digital. Since the +5V power source is not used for comparison, it is flexible and may vary by ±0.25V without affecting ADC precision.

===Setting the Measuring Range===

===Setting the Measuring Range===

The measuring range is set programmatically by the FPGA over the SPI bus. The way the ADC is connected on the digital board requires that its measuring range be set to 5V, so the RANGE bit should be set to 1 by the FPGA (see Analog Devices documentation).

| This channel monitors the output of a resistor divider connected to channel 31 of the DAC. The divider consists of three resistors of 200K, 200K, and 10.2K (in order). The ADC reads out the voltage level between the second 200K and then 10.2K resistor. These resistors were selected so that at 200V, the readout voltage will be 4.878V. Since the divider should be linear, the expected voltage at 20V is 0.4878V. Three resistors were used rather than two to avoid exceeding the resistors' power ratings when the DAC is set to its maximum voltage. Note that since this divider will consume up to 484uA of current at 200V, this DAC channel should not be used for anything that might require more than ~200uA of current. The channel is routed to the backplane nonetheless.
