1.0 Introduction
The
ADC121S625EVAL/RoHS
Design
Kit
(consisting of the ADC121S625B Evaluation
Board and this User's Guide) is designed to ease
evaluation and design-in of the National
Semiconductor ADC121S625 12-bit Analog-toDigital Converter, which can operate at speeds up
to 200 kSPS.
The evaluation board can be used in either of two
modes. In the Stand-Alone or Manual mode,
suitable test equipment, such as a logic analyzer,
can be used with the board to evaluate the
ADC121S625’s performance.
In the Computer or Automatic mode, data capture
and evaluation is simplified by connecting this
board to National Semiconductor's Data Capture
Board (order number WAVEVSN BRD 4.0) with a
ribbon cable (order number WV4ADCIFCABLE),
which is connected to a personal computer
through a USB port and running WaveVision4
software. The WaveVision4 program can be
downloaded
from
the
web
at
http://www.national.com/adc.
The WaveVision4 software operates under
Microsoft Windows. The signal at the Analog Input
is digitized, captured, and displayed on a PC
monitor in the time and frequency domain.
The software will perform an FFT on the captured
data upon command. This FFT plot shows
dynamic performance in the form of SNR, SINAD,
THD, SFDR and ENOB. A histogram of the
captured data is also available.
The differential signal at analog inputs J2 or J3 is
digitized by U1, the ADC121S625.
The ADC121S625 uses an external oscillator that
is provided on this board by Y2 or J6.
2.0 Board Assembly
The ADC121S625B evaluation board comes fully
assembled and ready for use. Refer to the Bill of
Materials for a description of components, to
Figure 1 for major component placement and to

4.1 The Signal Input
The input signal to be digitized should be applied
across pins 1 & 3 of J2 or J3.
For input signals centered around ground, J2
should be utilized. Pin 2 of J2 is ground. Resistor
R4 is a terminating resistor for the input source.
Since all sources do not have the same output
impedance, R4 is not stuffed. However, it is
recommended that it is stuffed by the end user
with the appropriate value that matches the
source.
The DC biasing for inputs applied to J2 is supplied
through JP2. Short pins 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 of JP2 to
properly bias the input to VREF.
If it is desired to digitize a differential DC voltage
or a dynamic signal that is already properly biased
for the ADC121S625, apply the signal to be
digitized across pins 1 & 3 of J3. Pin 2 of J3 is
ground. When applying the input at J3, all shorts
on JP2 need to be removed.
Dynamic input signals should be applied through
a bandpass filter to eliminate the noise and
harmonics commonly associated with signal
sources. To accurately evaluate the performance
of the ADC121S625, the source must be better
than 90dB THD
4.2 ADC Reference Circuitry
This evaluation board includes the option of
selecting a fixed 2.5V shunt voltage reference or
VA as the reference voltage. Select the 2.5V
5
The crystal-based oscillator provided on the
evaluation board is selected by shorting pins 1 & 2
of JP5. It is best to remove any external signal
generator from J6 when using this oscillator to
reduce any unnecessary noise.
This board will also accept a clock signal from an
external source by connecting that source to BNC
J6 and shorting pins 2 & 3 of JP5. The input
applied at J6 is 50 ohm terminated by R14. The
external clock signal must meet TTL input
requirements. It is best to remove the oscillator at
Y2 when using an external clock source to reduce
any unnecessary noise.
Regardless of the clock source selected by JP5,
the clock signal is designed to be routed off the
ADC121S625B evaluation board to National’s
WV4 board. This assumes a “computer mode”
operation of the evaluation board. For applications
utilizing the evaluation board in manual mode,
short pins 4 & 10 of J4 with a short jumper wire to
provide the clock signal to the ADC121S625.
4.4 Digital Data Output
The serial data output from this board may be
monitored at J1 or J4.
4.5 Power Supply Connections
When operating in “computer mode” with the WV4
Board, voltage 5P0V for VA and 3P3V for U3
must be supplied to the ADC121S625B evaluation
board. For best performance from the
ADC121S625, the 5P0V voltage for VA should be
supplied by a separate power supply to J5. The
3P3V voltage may be pulled off the WV4 Board
with a jumper wire at TP10 (WV4) and applied to
TP5.
When operating in “manual mode”, only voltage
5P0V needs to be applied to J5.
The 5P0V voltage needs to be set between +4.5V
and +5.5V and a shorting jumper must be placed
across pins 1 & 2 of JP3.
