EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
SETTING UP THE EVALUATION BOARD
Figure 27 shows the evaluation board schematic. The board
consists of the ADC, U1, with a reference, U6 (ADR435), and
ADC drivers, U12 and U14 (ADA4841-1). The 8-lead board
also has a level shifter, U16 (ADG3304).

The evaluation board requires power from a wall adapter. The
on-board power supply design is designed to operate from 9 V.
Table 3. Table of Jumpers Specific to Different ADCs
The evaluation board is a flexible design that enables the user to
adjust compensation components in addition to operating from
an adjustable bench top power supply.

Each supply is decoupled where it enters the board and again at
each device. A single ground plane is used on this board to
minimize the effect of high frequency noise interference.
In addition to this, there is also the ability to power the board
from a bench top power supply. The screw terminals, J2 and J3, are
provided for this function. When bench power is used, the wall
wart and on-board power supply are no longer required. Solder
links also must be changed: SL1 = B, SL2 = B, SL7 = B, SL4 = B,
and SL3 = B.
REFERENCE
An external 5 V reference (U6, ADR435) is used to supply the
ADCs directly.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The evaluation board uses the SPORT interface from the ADSPBF527 DSP.
A number of AND gates are used to clock and gate the SPORT
transfer to the ADC device. See U9, U10, and U11. The 8-lead
board also has a level shifter, U16 (ADG3304), which interfaces
the ADC logic levels (5 V) to the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z (3.3 V).
SOLDER LINKS
There is one three solder link option on the board. It is configured
depending on which generic of the ADC is on the specific
evaluation board as described in Table 3.

ANALOG INPUTS
The analog inputs to the evaluation board are SMA connectors,
J6 and J10. These inputs are buffered with dedicated amplifier
circuitry (U12 and U14), as shown in Figure 27. The circuit allows
different configurations, input range scaling, filtering, addition of a
dc component, and use of different op amp and supplies. The
analog input amplifiers are set as unity-gain buffers at the factory.
The amplifier positive rail is driven from 7.5 V (from U13,
ADP7102). The negative amplifier rail is driven from –VS
(generated by U3, ADP2301).
The default configuration sets both U12 and U14 at midscale,
generated from a buffered reference voltage divider (VCM).
The evaluation board is factory configured for providing either
a single-ended path or a fully differential path as shown in Table 3.
For dynamic performance, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) test
can be done by applying a very low distortion ac source.
For low frequency testing, the audio precision source can be used
directly because the outputs on these are isolated. Set the outputs
for balanced and floating ground. Different sources can be used;
however, most are single-ended sources that use a fixed output
resistance.
Because the evaluation board uses the amplifiers in unity-gain,
the noninverting input has a common-mode input with a series
590 Ω resistor, and it needs to be taken into account when directly
connecting a source (voltage divider).

When hardware is connected to the USB port, the software
automatically detects which generic is connected and displays
it here. Without hardware, the software can be operated in
standalone mode for data analysis, and the device information
notes the device number pulled from the saved data file.
Sampling Frequency: The default sampling frequency
matches the maximum sample rate of the ADC connected
to the board. The user can adjust the sampling frequency;
however, there are limitations around the sample frequency
related to the SCLK frequency applied. The sample frequency
must be an integer divider of the SCLK frequency. In addition,
where unusable sample frequencies are input, the software
automatically adjusts the sample frequency accordingly.
Units can be entered, such as 10k for 10,000 Hz. Because
the maximum sample frequency possible is device dependent,
with some of the ADCs capable of operating up to 250 kSPS,
while others can go to 1.3 MSPS, the software matches the
particular ADC ability. If the user enters a value larger than
the ability of the existing device, the software indicates this
and reverts to the maximum sample frequency.
sCLK Frequency: The default SCLK frequency is set to
60 MHz, which is the maximum allowable from the SDP.
The SCLK is applied to the ADC SCK pin. The SDP board
limits the SCLK frequency; nominal values for correct
operation are 60 MHz, 30 MHz, and 20 MHz. Where the
user adjusts the SCLK/sample rate to values that are not
supported by the SDP clock or the ADC sample rate, the
software overrides by adjusting values accordingly and
identify this to the user (see Figure 21). The SCLK frequency
is rounded down.

AC TESTING—HISTOGRAM
The ac testing histogram tests the ADC for the code distribution
for the ac input, computes the mean and standard deviation, or
transition noise, of the converter, and displays the results. Raw data
is captured and passed to the PC for statistical computations. To
perform a histogram test, select Histogram and click Start Stream.
Note that an ac histogram needs a quality signal source applied
to the input J6/J10 connectors. Figure 23 shows the histogram
for a 1 kHz sine wave applied to the ADC input.
Figure 23 shows the histogram results for the signal applied. It
also illustrates the different measured values for the data captured
(see Number 1 within Figure 23).

and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR). The data can also
be displayed in the time domain. To perform an ac test, apply
a sinusoidal signal to the evaluation board at the SMA inputs,
J6/J10. Low distortion, better than 100 dB, is required to allow
true evaluation of the device. One possibility is to filter the input
signal from the ac source. A band-pass filter can be used, and
its center frequency must match the test frequency of interest.
Furthermore, if using a low frequency band-pass filter when
the full-scale input range is more than a few V p-p, use the onboard amplifiers to amplify the signal, thus preventing the filter
from distorting the input signal.
DC TESTING—HISTOGRAM
More commonly, the histogram is used for dc testing where the
user tests the ADC for the code distribution for dc input, computes
the mean and standard deviation, or transition noise, of the
converter, and displays the results. Raw data is captured and
passed to the PC for statistical computations. To perform a
histogram test, select Histogram and click Start Stream. Note
that a histogram test can be performed without an external
source because the evaluation board has a buffered VREF/2
source at the ADC input. To test other dc values, apply a source
to the J6/J10 inputs. It may be required to filter the signal to
make the dc source noise compatible with that of the ADC.
Figure 24 displays the histogram of the captured data that includes
the following:
AC TESTING—FFT CAPTURE
This tests the traditional ac characteristics of the converter and
displays an FFT of the result. As in the histogram test, raw data
is captured and passed to the PC where the FFT is performed
displaying signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), signal-to-noise-anddistortion ratio (SINAD), total harmonic distortion (THD),

TROUBLESHOOTING
SOFTWARE
HARDWARE
To troubleshoot the software, take the following steps:
To troubleshoot the hardware, take the following steps:
1.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Always install the software prior to connecting the hardware
to the PC.
Always allow the install to fully complete (the software is a
2-part install, the ADC software and the SDP drivers). This
may require a restart.
When the user first plugs in the SDP board via the USB cable
provided, allow the new Found Hardware Wizard to run.
This may take a little time but allow this to happen prior to
starting the software.
Where the board does not appear to be functioning, ensure
that the ADC evaluation board is connected to the SDP board
and that the board is being recognized in the Device
Manager, as shown in Figure 13.
If connected to a slower USB port where the SDP cannot read
as quickly as it needs to, a timeout error may result. In this
case, it is advised not to read continuously, or alternatively,
to lower the number of samples taken.

If the software does not read any data back, do the
following:
a. Check that the power is applied within the power
ranges described in the Power Supplies section.
b. Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage present at the
positive terminal of C3 (it should be 7.5 V) and C14
(it should be −2.5 V) and measure the voltage at the
positive terminal of C11 (it should be 5 V). The SDP
board, LED1, should be lit.
c. Launch the software and read the data. If nothing
happens, exit the software.
d. Power down the board and relaunch the software.
e. If no data is read back, confirm that the ADC evaluation
board is connected to the SDP board and that the board
is being recognized in the Device Manager, as shown
in Figure 13.
When the user is working with the software in standalone/
offline mode (no hardware connected) and later chooses to
connect hardware, they must close and relaunch the software.
