ADS5407EVM

User's Guide SLAU450 – July 2012 ADS540x and ADS54T0x Evaluation Module (EVM) This user's guide describes the operation of the Texas Instruments ADS540x or ADS54T0x evaluation module (EVM). The EVM provides a platform for evaluating the ADS540x or ADS54T0x, a two-channel, 12-bit ADC operating at sampling rates of up to 800 MSPS with the digital data output on two 12-bit LVDS parallel busses on a Samtec connector. This EVM is ideally suited for mating with the TSW1400 or TSW1405 Capture Card for performing a data capture into a capture buffer, uploading the sample data to a PC, performing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and reporting on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), and other performance metrics. 1 2 3 Contents Introduction .................................................................................................................. 2 1.1 EVM Block Diagram ............................................................................................... 2 1.2 EVM Power Supply ................................................................................................ 3 1.3 EVM Jumpers and Switches ...................................................................................... 4 1.4 EVM Solder Options ............................................................................................... 5 Software Control ............................................................................................................ 7 2.1 Installation Instructions ............................................................................................ 7 2.2 Software Operation ................................................................................................ 7 Basic Test Procedure ....................................................................................................... 9 3.1 Test Block Diagram ................................................................................................ 9 3.2 Test Set-up Connection ........................................................................................... 9 3.3 ADS540x Software Quick Start Guide ......................................................................... 10 List of Figures 1 Simplified EVM Block Diagram ............................................................................................ 2 2 Simplified EVM Power Supply ............................................................................................. 3 3 EVM Jumpers and Switches............................................................................................... 4 4 EVM Solder Options ........................................................................................................ 5 5 Control Option ............................................................................................................... 8 6 Test Setup Block Diagram ................................................................................................. 9 7 Trigger Option Dialog Window ........................................................................................... 11 8 TSW1405 FFT Result ..................................................................................................... 11 List of Tables ...................................................................................................... 1 Square Post Jumpers 2 Surface Mount Jumpers .................................................................................................... 6 SLAU450 – July 2012 Submit Documentation Feedback ADS540x and ADS54T0x Evaluation Module (EVM) Copyright © 2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated 6 1 Introduction www.ti.com 1 Introduction 1.1 EVM Block Diagram Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram of the default configuration of the EVM. Each analog input is supplied to the EVM through a single-ended SMA connection, then transformer coupled to turn the singleended signal into a balanced differential signal, and then input to the ADS540x. A dual transformer input circuit is used for better phase and amplitude balance of the input signal than would typically be produced by a single transformer input circuit. SPI Port USB J4 Analog Inputs J11 J5 ADS5402 LVDS DDR CLK, DATA J1 Clock J2 Sync (not Installed) J9 Trigger 5V J7 Power Supply Circuits Figure 1. Simplified EVM Block Diagram The clock input is supplied by way of a single-ended signal to an SMA connector and transformer coupled to produce a differential clock signal for the ADS540x. Power to the EVM is supplied using a single 5-V connection by way of banana jacks. All necessary voltages for the ADS540x are derived from the 5-V input connection. For the ADS54T0x EVM, a trigger signal may be input to the trigger SMA connector to trigger the burst of high resolution sample data from the ADC. This trigger signal may be sourced by the TSW1400 Capture Card. 2 ADS540x and ADS54T0x Evaluation Module (EVM) Copyright © 2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated SLAU450 – July 2012 Submit Documentation Feedback Introduction www.ti.com 1.2 EVM Power Supply Figure 2 illustrates the power supply options available on the EVM. Jumpers are used to choose the power supply options, with the default jumper positions indicated by the darker portion of the jumper that represents the presence of the jumper. The EVM requires a 5-V input supply, input directly to the banana jack, J7. From the 5-V supply rail, linear low dropout (LDO) regulators are used to generate the 1.8 V for the analog and digital supplies for the ADS540x, the 3.3 V for the 3.3-V analog supply of the ADS540x, and the 3.3-V supply needed for an LVDS buffer to buffer the optional trigger signal into the ADS540x.

Many of the jumper selections that involve DC inputs or static control signals are by way of push-on square post jumpers. Figure 3 illustrates the position of the jumpers relative to the more recognizable features of the EVM such as the banana jacks or SMA inputs. Jumper selections that involve high-speed switching signals are implemented by way of surface mount 0-Ω jumper resistors, and these are represented in Figure 4. In both figures, default positions of the jumpers as the EVM is normally shipped are indicated. Note that some of the jumpers are, by default, left open circuit. The surface-mount jumper resistors require soldering to change from default to any other desired configuration. The functions of the connectors, LEDs and pushbutton switches are described by their labels in Figure 2. The presence of the 5-V supply voltages to the EVM is indicated by LED D1 lighting.

EVM Jumpers and Switches There are two pushbutton switches on the EVM. Pushbutton switch SW1 is used to assert a reset signal to the ADS540x. The ADS540x requires a reset before it is configured for use, but it is not necessary to use SW1. The ADS540x SPI GUI may be used to toggle the reset register bit in the ADS540x register map. The trigger signal to the ADS54T0x may be sourced by the SMA connector J9, the Samtec connector J11, or the pushbutton SW2 depending on the position of the surface mount jumper SJP1. 4 ADS540x and ADS54T0x Evaluation Module (EVM) Copyright © 2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated SLAU450 – July 2012 Submit Documentation Feedback Introduction www.ti.com 1.4 EVM Solder Options Figure 4. EVM Solder Options Table 1 lists the jumper options of the EVM by category, the default position of the jumper, and a description of what the jumper does in the possible positions that the jumper might be set. Three pin jumpers have an indication of pin 1 position both in Figure 2 and in the silkscreen on the top of the EVM itself. A jumper installed between pins 1 and 2 is designated by 1-2 while a jumper installed between pins 2 and 3 is designated by 2-3. For more detailed information on the function of each jumper position, consult the ADS540x datasheet.

( Position 2-3 connects Enable to Gnd) USB Port Power JP5 1-2 IO Supply Selection (1-2 power from USB port) (2-3 power from EVM) Surface mount 0-Ω resistor jumpers are described in Table 2. The four SPI lines to the ADC (SCLK, SEN, SDATA, SDO) are, by default, driven by the USB port on the EVM under the control of the ADS540x SPI GUI software. Alternatively, drive the SPI signals into the ADC by a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) located on the capture card that connects to the Samtec connector, in which case four surface mount resistors must be removed from their default positions and soldered in the alternate positions. The ADS540x outputs a common mode voltage that may be used to bias the common mode level of the analog signal. Since the ADS540x has a buffered analog input and the input signal is internally biased to VCM if the signal is AC coupled, the VCM pin is, by default, unconnected. Install a 0-Ω jumper resistor to connect the VCM to the analog input termination network. Table 2.

As seen in this figure, the evaluation setup involves a clock from a high-quality signal generator and a sine wave for the analog input from a high-quality signal generator. High-order, narrow-bandpass filters are usually required on clock and input frequency for removing phase noise and harmonic content from the input sine waves. If the two signal generators are not synchronized by an external reference signal to make the clock and input frequency coherent, then the resulting FFT first needs to have a windowing function such as Hanning or Blackman-Harris applied to the data.

This section covers the initial use of the SPI GUI necessary for most evaluations of the ADS540x. • Press the Reset USB Port button if the USB connection has been disrupted since the last use, or if an error message pops up warning that the USB connection is not valid. • Select the Reset position of the reset switch with the mouse. This switch is self-clearing. • From this point, select digital functions such as test pattern modes, if desired. All commonly used register bits listed in the register map of the ADS540x data sheet have a switch on the front panel of the SPI GUI for easy configuration of the ADS540x. • In most applications, use the SPI GUI to enable the HP Mode 1. • In most applications, use the SPI GUI to enable the Offset Correction for channel A and Channel B. • For the ADS54T0x, use the SPI GUI to set burst length to something large enough that the TSW1400 capture will capture all 12-bit resolution data. • Other GUI switches for Bias, Sync, or LP Mode should be left alone, in most cases. Note that any greyed-out front panel switches are unavailable for use because they have a dependency upon other switch settings. These functions must first be enabled by selection of a different switch, as indicated in the ADS540x datasheet. TSW140x Quick Start Operation Reference the High Speed Data Converter Pro User’s Guide for more detailed explanations of the TSW1400 or TSW1405 set-up and operation. This document assumes the High Speed Data Converter Pro software is installed and functioning properly. Single tone FFT test • Select the ADS5402 as the TI ADC Device Selection. If this device does not appear in the device selection, then the initialization file ADS5402.ini is missing from the ADC Files folder where the High Speed Data Converter Pro User Interface is installed. Close the GUI, copy the ADS5402.ini file into the ADC Files folder and relaunch the GUI. • Select Single Tone FFT Test • Select the number of sample points (and resulting number of FFT bins) to use. • Enter the ADC sampling rate. • Enter the input frequency desired. If the clock and input frequency signal generators are synchronized, then make sure the checkbox for coherent frequency is checked and set the input frequency signal generator to the input frequency displayed. • Press the Capture button. • Observe an FFT result similar to that of Figure 8. • For the ADS54T0x, the TSW1400 may be used to source the trigger to the ADS54T0x EVM by using the Trigger menu in the High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI as shown in Figure 7. 10 ADS540x and ADS54T0x Evaluation Module (EVM) Copyright © 2012, Texas Instruments Incorporated SLAU450 – July 2012 Submit Documentation Feedback Basic Test Procedure www.ti.com Figure 7.

All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment. TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily performed. TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards. TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of any TI components in safety-critical applications. In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms. No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use. Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
