knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”

WHAT IS THE PIPELINE ADC UTILITY SOFTWARE?
The Pipeline ADC Utility software is the graphical user interface (GUI) used to
communicate with and to configure the operating parameters of the device. The
software communicates with the part through the data capture card via a USB cable,
allowing the user to program the internal ADC registers. When the user interacts with
the software (for example, by updating the registers), the user’s commands are passed
to the MCP37D10-200 device via the data capture card. Once the commands are
executed by the evaluation board, the software receives the requested data from the
data capture card. The software will then analyze the data, perform a FFT or other
analysis, and display the results. Refer to Figure 1-1 for a diagram of the system setup.
Figure 1-4 shows a screen shot of the graphical interface.

To power-up and run the evaluation kit, the following are required:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Pipeline ADC Utility Software
MCP37X10-200 12-Bit Single-Channel Evaluation Board (ADM00735)
MCP37XXX High-Speed Pipeline ADC Data Capture Card (ADM00506)
Two 5V Power Supplies
A USB-A to USB Mini-B Cable

2.2.2
Power Input Connection
This evaluation kit comes with two switching power supplies (Mean Well:
GS06U-1P1J): one for each of the boards. These power supplies are able to provide a
5V, 1A maximum output. They can be connected to an AC wall outlet rated between
90V AC and 264V AC, at a frequency of 47 Hz to 63 Hz. The other end of the power
supply is a 2.1 mm barrel plug that connects to both the evaluation board and the data
capture card (see Figure 2-1). If the user chooses to connect a different external power
supply, a minimum output of 750 mA is required.
2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
DS50002511A-page 15
MCP37X10-200 12-Bit Single-Channel Evaluation Kit User’s Guide
The evaluation board’s power supplies can also be supplied by external voltages
directly to the power domains. This can be done by disabling the desired regulator
using the dip switch SW2 - Regulator Enable on the silkscreen. Then, a DC voltage can
be driven directly into the appropriate pin of header J16. Note that the even pins of the
J16 header are GND.
The power domains on the evaluation board may be merged, if needed. Specifically,
the 1.2VA and 1.2VD power domains may be merged by populating a ferrite bead on
FB10. Similarly, the 1.8VA and 1.8VD power domains may be merged by populating a
ferrite bead on FB11. In both cases, the digital regulators should be disabled using the
appropriate switches.
WARNING
Avoid connecting a power supply with a voltage greater than 5V. Doing so can damage
the voltage regulators, requiring them to be replaced.
2.2.3
Evaluation Kit Set-Up
1. Connect the evaluation board and the data capture card as shown in Figure 2-1.
2. Power up both boards using the supplied 5V Power Supplies.
3. Ensure that a clock input is connected or that a crystal oscillator is installed
correctly. Follow instructions in section Section 2.2.4.1 “Optimizing the Clock
Connection”.
1:
Note: If this is done correctly, the CAL DONE LED will be ON. Otherwise,
the user should check the clock input or crystal oscillator for issues.
4. Connect the data capture card to a computer using the provided USB cable.
5. Press the Reset button on both boards.
6. Run the Pipeline ADC Utility Software.
For help with troubleshooting the boards and operating the GUI, please refer to the
software’s supporting documentation.
WARNING
Avoid applying an input signal while the board is powered off. This may damage the input
baluns! If a high second harmonic is seen, it is likely that these baluns need to be replaced.

2.2.4
Input/Output Optimization
2.2.4.1
OPTIMIZING THE CLOCK CONNECTION
The evaluation board does not come with a clock source for the device. The user must
provide a clock source in order to run this evaluation board. The user has the following
options:
• Using Microchip’s 200 MHz Clock Source Evaluation Boards:
- Microchip’s ADM00725 or ADM00791 evaluation boards may be connected to
the external clock SMA input (See Figure 2-1). These boards were developed
as an optimized clock source for Microchip’s High-Speed ADCs. For more
information, refer to the board web page.
• Using a signal generator:
- A clean and low-jitter clock signal can be connected to the external clock SMA
input. For the signal generation, Rohde & Schwarz® SMA100A or Agilent
Technologies HP8644B signal generators can be used. To ensure that a clean
and low-jitter clock signal is provided, the user should interpose a band-pass
filter to reduce the harmonics coming from the signal source. A 200 MHz
band-pass filter, such as KC4T-200M-10P-50-3A from TTE® Inc., is
recommended. A high-jitter or unfiltered clock source will reduce achievable
SNR at higher input frequencies.
• Using a Crystal Oscillator on the board:
- An unpopulated footprint is available on the board where the user can place a
crystal oscillator. For a single-ended clock, refer to the instructions in Example
1. For a differential clock, refer to the instructions in Example 2. The user may
also choose to place another type of clock as well. Note that the component
values given below are for example only and may vary depending on the
exact clock source used.
Example 1
A clock oscillator with a single-ended output may be populated on Y2. The use of a
Microchip oscillator is recommended, such as the MXT573ABC200M000 for a 200
MHz clock. In this case, proceed to make the following modifications:
1. Remove R36
2. Populate R89 with a 499 resistor
3. Populate C106 with a 15 pF capacitor.
Example 2
A clock oscillator with a differential LVPECL output may be populated on Y2. The use
of a Microchip oscillator is recommended, such as the MXT575ABA200M000 for a 200
MHz clock. In this case, proceed to make the following modifications:
1. Remove R36 and R136
2. Populate R89 and R90 with a 210 resistor
3. Populate C105 and C106 with a 22 pF capacitor.
2.2.4.2
OPTIMIZING THE ANALOG INPUT CONNECTION
The best way to evaluate the MCP37X10-200 device is to use a clean analog input
signal with as little noise as possible. The signal can be provided using a signal
generator, such as Rohde & Schwarz SMA100A or Agilent Technologies HP8644B,
and can be used along with a bandpass filter. The filter will help with filtering the
harmonic tones of the fundamental, as well as with reducing the phase noise of the
source. Two such filters that can be used are:
DS50002511A-page 18
2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
• KC4T-70M-15P-50-69A, TTE Inc.’s 70 MHz filter
• KC4T-20M-15P-50-69A, TTE Inc.’s 20 MHz filter
Note:
2.2.4.3
If one of the analog inputs appears to not work properly, exhibiting issues
such as a high 2nd harmonic or substantially lower fundamental power, it is
likely that the baluns on that input network are damaged. Replacing them
should resolve these issues.
OUTPUT DATA CONFIGURATION
The MCP37X10-200 device is able to provide both LVDS and CMOS outputs. However,
this evaluation kit is designed for LVDS outputs only. The user can modify various other
output data properties using the GUI, with the exception of the LVDS/CMOS output
mode.
