1.0 Introduction
The ADC121S705EB/RoHS Design Kit (consisting
of the ADC121S705 Evaluation Board and this
User's Guide) is designed to ease evaluation and
design-in of the National Semiconductor
ADC121S705 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter,
which can operate at speeds up to 1 MSPS.
is digitized, captured, and displayed on a PC
monitor in the time and frequency domain.
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
ADC121S705’s performance.
The differential signal at analog inputs J2 (accoupled) or J3 (dc-coupled) is digitized by U1, the
ADC121S705.
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 4.1) which
is connected to a personal computer through a
USB port and is running WaveVision4 software.
The WaveVision4 program can be downloaded
from the web at http://www.national.com/adc.
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 ADC121S705 uses an oscillator that is
provided on this board by Y2 or is supplied at J6.
2.0 Board Assembly
The ADC121S705 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
Figure 2 for the Evaluation Board schematic.

3.0 Quick Start
The ADC121S705 evaluation board may be used
in the Stand-Alone mode to capture data with a
logic analyzer or third party equipment, or it may
be used in the Computer Mode with a
WaveVision4.1 Data Capture (WV) Board. In both
cases, the data may be analyzed with the
WaveVision4 software.
3.1 Stand Alone Mode
Refer to Figure 1 for locations of test points and
major components.
1. Remove the jumper from JP5 and the
oscillator Y2 from its socket. The SPI interface
signals (CSB and SCLK) will be driven directly
at J4 (step 10). DOUT will also be monitored
at J4. Frequently a Logic Analyzer with a built
in pattern generator is used to drive CSB and
SCLK while monitoring DOUT. It is necessary
to remove Y2 because the presence of a
second clock source could add noise to the
conversion process.
2. Connect a clean analog (non-switching) +5V
power source to Power Connector J5.
3. Short pins 1 & 2 of JP3 and turn on the power
supply.
4. Dynamic differential signal sources centered
around ground (ac-coupled) should be
connected across pins 1 & 3 of J2. Pin 2 of J2
is ground. If the source has a 50 ohm output
impedance, install a 51 ohm resistor at R4.
Otherwise, the signal level will be twice as
large as expected. To accurately evaluate the
performance of the ADC121S705, the source
must be better than 90dB THD.
5. Short pins 1 & 2 and pins 3 & 4 of JP2 to bias
the input of the ADC121S705 at VREF. It is
necessary to bias the inputs when driving the
ADC from J2.
6. Differential DC sources or dynamic differential
signal sources centered at a DC bias point
should be connected across pins 1 & 3 of J3.
Pin 2 of J3 is ground. Refer to the datasheet
for acceptable common mode input voltages.
7. Remove the shorts across pins 1 & 2 and pins
3 & 4 of JP2 when driving the ADC input from
J3. An external bias voltage for the
ADC121S705 is not required under this
circumstance.
8. Select the 2.5V shunt voltage reference as
VREF by shorting pins 2 & 3 of JP1. This
accomplishes two things at the same time. It
provides a reference voltage of 2.5V for the
4
ADC121S705 and it biases the input stage at
2.5V (sets the input’s common mode voltage).
9. If it is desirable to provide an external
reference voltage, the jumper must be
removed from JP1 and pin 2 may be driven
directly. Refer to the datasheet for acceptable
common mode voltages ranges for specific
reference voltages. Ideally the ADC121S705
is biased at half of the supply voltage, VA.
10. Apply the signals to control the SPI interface
at J4.
3.2 Computer Mode
Refer to Figure 1 for locations of test points and
major components.
1. Run the WaveVision4 program. Version 4.3 or
higher is required to interface the
WaveVision4.1 Data Capture (WV) board with
the ADC121S705 evaluation board. While the
program is loading, continue below.
2. Connect an analog +5V power source to
power connector J1 on the WV board and turn
on the power.
3. Connect a USB cable between the WV Board
and the PC running the WaveVision4
program.
4. Connect J1 of the ADC121S705 board to J7
of the WV board.
5. Connect a separate, clean analog (nonswitching) +5V power source to Power
Connector J5 of the .
6. Short pins 1 & 2 of JP3 and turn on the power
supply. See Section 4.5 for detailed Power
Supply Information.
7. Install an appropriate crystal oscillator into
socket Y2 and short pins 1 & 2 of JP5 (See
Table 1). Alternatively, connect a signal
generator with CMOS logic levels to BNC
connector J6 and short pins 2 & 3 of JP5.
8. Perform steps 4 & 5 or 6 & 7 of section 3.1 to
drive the analog inputs.
9. Perform step 8 or 9 of section 3.1 to select the
reference voltage.
10. Refer to section 5.0 on Software Operation
and Settings.

Table 1 Jumper Functions
4.1 Analog Input Signal
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 ADC121S705, 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.
If VA is selected as the reference voltage, the
input signal must be applied at J3 and thus
requires
proper
dc-biasing.
Under
this
circumstance, JP2 is no longer capable of
providing a proper dc-bias voltage for the input to
the ADC121S705 since it is directly connected to
VA through R2 and R3. If the input signal is not
properly biased, the side of R2 and R3 that
connects to VREF would need to be lifted and
driven with a voltage of VA / 2. This allows the
maximum voltage swing at +IN and –IN.
5
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 ADC121S705, the source must be better
than -90dBc 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
reference as VREF by shorting pins 2 & 3 of JP1
or select VA as VREF by shorting pins 1 & 2 of
JP1. If it is desirable to provide an external
reference voltage, the jumper must be removed
from JP1 and pin 2 may be driven directly.
If it is desirable to change the LM4040DIM3-2.5 to
an LM4040 with a different voltage, carefully
change it and adjust the value of R1 to limit the
current through the LM4040.
4.3 SPI Interface
4.3.1 ADC Clock (SCLK)
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 51 ohm terminated by R14. The
external clock signal must meet CMOS input
requirements. If the external source is an acsource that is centered around ground, the short
across C15 can be cut and C15 should be
populated with a 0.1uF capacitor. It is also
necessary to populate R15 and R16 with 5.1k
ohm resistors. To reduce any unnecessary noise,
it is best to remove the oscillator at Y2 when using
an external clock source.
Regardless of the clock source selected by JP5,
the clock signal is designed to be routed off the
ADC121S705 evaluation board to the WV board.
This assumes a “computer mode” operation of the
evaluation board. For applications utilizing the
evaluation board in manual mode, the clock is
applied directly at J4.
4.3.2 Digital Data Output (DOUT)
The DOUT pin from this board may be monitored
at J1 or J4. In “computer mode” DOUT is
monitored by the WV board. In “manual mode”
DOUT should be monitored directly at J4. The
http://www.national.com
signal level for DOUT is CMOS compatible. See
the ADC121S705 datasheet for logic output
levels.
4.3.3 Chip Select Bar (CSB)
The CSB pin may be monitored at J1 or J4. In
“computer mode” CSB is provided by the WV
board. In “manual mode” CSB should be driven
directly at J4. The signal level for CSB needs to
be CMOS compatible. See the ADC121S705
datasheet for logic threshold limits.
4.4 Power Supply Connections
In “computer and manual mode”, the remote 5P0V
voltage needs to be set between +4.5V and
+5.5V.
When operating in “computer mode”, the supply
voltage for VA can be applied remotely at J5 or is
supplied directly by the WV board through J1. The
remote 5P0V voltage is selected by shorting pins
1 & 2 on JP3. While the 5P0V from the WV board
is selected by shorting pins 2 & 3 on JP3. For best
performance from the ADC121S705, a remote
supply voltage should be applied to J5. The 3P3V
voltage is always obtained through J1 from the
WV board/
5. After the steps outlined in Section 3.2 are
completed, click on ‘Acquire’ then ‘Samples’
from the Main Menu (you can also press the
F1 shortcut key). If a dialog box opens, select
‘Discard’ or press the Escape key to start
collecting new, updated samples.
A plot of the selected number of samples will be
displayed. Make sure there is no clipping of data
samples. The samples may be further analyzed
by clicking on the magnifying glass icon, then
clicking and dragging across a specific area of the
plot for better data inspection. See the
WaveVision4 Board User's Guide for details.
To view an FFT of the data captured, click on the
‘FFT’ tab. This plot may be zoomed in on like the
data plot. A display of dynamic performance
parameters in the form of SINAD, SNR, THD,
SFDR and ENOB will be displayed at the top right
hand corner of the FFT plot.
Acquired data may be saved to a file. Plots may
also be exported as graphics. See the Data
Capture Board User's Guide for details.
When operating in “manual mode”, only voltage
5P0V needs to be applied to J5 and pins 1 & 2 on
JP3 need to be shorted.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are
sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TI’s standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI 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 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. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
