The ADC12C170 Evaluation Board comes in two
versions:
3.1 Evaluation Board Jumper Positions
1.0 Introduction
1. ADC12C170HFEB (high frequency version)
for input frequencies greater than 150 MHz.
Please refer to Figure 1 for the exact jumper locations.
The ADC12C170XXEB jumpers should be configured
as follows:
2. ADC12C170LFEB (low frequency version) for
input frequencies less than 150 MHz.
1. J1 on the reverse of the board should be shorted.
2. MODE and INV jumpers on the front of the board
should be shorted. See Section 4.4 for more
detailed information regarding the function of the
MODE and INV jumpers.
3. The PD jumper places the ADC12C170 into either
powerdown or sleep mode. Table 1 below shows
how to select between the power state.
The digital data from the ADC12C170 can be captured
with a suitable instrument, such as a logic analyzer,
connected
through
the
FutureBus
connector
(schematic reference designator FB) on the
ADC12C170XXEB (where XX = HF or LF) or with
National Semiconductor’s WaveVision 4.0 Digital
Interface Board and associated WaveVision software
package, which allows fast and easy data acquisition
and analysis. The WaveVision hardware connects to a
host PC via a USB cable and is fully configured and
controlled by the latest WaveVision software. The

ADC12C170 evaluation board can be found in Section
5.0 (Schematic) and Section 7.0 (Bill of Materials),
respectively, of this user’s guide.
3.0 Quick Start
The ADC12C170XXEB (where XX = HF or LF) enables
easy set up for evaluating the performance of the
ADC12C170.

N
Table 2. CLK_SEL/DF Selection Table
3.2 Connecting Power and Signal Sources
1. To power the ADC12C170XXEB, connect a 5.0V
power supply capable of supplying up to 600mA to
the green power connector labeled “+5V” which is
located along the bottom edge of the
ADC12C170XXEB.
2. Use the FutureBus connector (FB) to connect the
ADC12C170XXEB to the instrument being used to
capture the data from the evaluation board. If the
WaveVision 4.0 Digital Interface Board is being
used for data capture, a 5.0V supply capable of
supplying up to 400mA is needed. See the
WaveVision 4 User’s Guide for details on installing
-3-
www.national.com
ADC12C170 Evaluation Board User’s Guide
and operating the WaveVision 4.0 hardware and
software system.
3. Connect the clock and signal inputs to the
CLK_IN_SE and AIN_XX (where XX = HF or LF)
SMA connectors, respectively.
4.0 Functional Description
4.1 Clock Input
The clock used to sample the analog input should be
applied to the CLK_IN_SE SMA connector (if using the
single-ended clock mode).
To achieve the best noise performance (best SNR), a
low jitter clock source with total additive jitter less than
150 fs should be used. A low jitter crystal oscillator is
recommended, but a sinusoidal signal generator with
low phase noise, such as the HP8644B, can also be
used with a slight degradation in the noise
performance.
The noise performance of the
ADC12C170 can be improved further by making the
edge transitions of the clock signal entering the ADC
clock input (pin 11, CLK+) very sharp.
The
ADC12C170XXEB is assembled with a high speed
buffer gate (NC7WV125K8X, schematic reference
designator U2) in the clock input path to provide a
sharp clock edge to the clock inputs and improve the
noise performance of the ADC.
Placing a bandpass filter between the clock source and
the CLK_IN_SE SMA connector will further improve the
noise performance of the ADC by filtering out the
broadband noise of the clock source. All results in the
ADC12C170 datasheet are obtained with a tunable
bandpass filter made by Trilithic, Inc. (Indianapolis, IN)
in the clock signal path.
4.2 Analog Input
To obtain the best distortion results (best SFDR), the
analog input network on the evaluation board must be
optimized for the signal frequency being applied.
For analog input frequencies up to approximately 150
MHz, the circuit in Figure 2 is recommended. This is
the configuration of the assembled ADC12C170LFEB
as it is delivered from the factory. Frequencies above
150 MHz, the circuit in Figure 3 is recommended. This
is
the
configuration
of
the
assembled
ADC12C170HFEB as it is delivered from the factory.
A low noise signal generator such as the HP8644B is
recommended to drive the signal input of the
ADC12C170XXEB. A low pass filter must be used to
sufficiently suppress the harmonic distortion produced
by the signal generator and to allow accurate
measurement
of
the
ADC12C170
distortion
performance. In some cases, a second low pass filter
may be necessary. Alternatively, a bandpass filter can
be used to filter the distortion products of the signal
generator. The bandpass filter will further improve the
noise performance of the ADC by filtering the
broadband noise of the signal generator. Data shown
in the ADC12C170 datasheet was taken with a tunable
bandpass filter made by Trilithic (Indianapolis, IN) in the
analog signal path.

4.3 ADC Reference and Input Common Mode
The internal 1.0V reference on the ADC12C170 is used
to acquire all of the results in the ADC12C170
datasheet. It is recommended to use the internal
reference on the ADC12C170. However, if an external
reference is required, the ADC12C170 is capable of
accepting an external reference voltage between 0.9V
and 1.1V (1.0V recommended).
If an external
reference is to be used, the ADC12C170XXEB
includes a REF test point which can be used to apply
the external reference to the ADC.
It is recommended to use the voltage at the VRM pin
(pin 45) of the ADC12C170 to provide the 1.5V
common mode voltage required for the differential
analog inputs VIN+ and VIN-. The ADC12C170XXEB is
factory-assembled with VRM connected to the
transformer center-tap through a 49.9Ω resistor to
provide the necessary common mode voltage to the
differential analog input. If an external common mode
voltage is to be used, the ADC12C170XXEB includes a
VCM test point which can be used to apply the external
common mode voltage to the ADC.
from 1.8V CMOS to 3.3V CMOS, which is compatible
with the WaveVision 4.0 Digital Interface Board and
other data capture instruments which the user may
choose.
The ADC12C170XXEB has been designed to give the
user the flexibility to choose between passing the data
from the ADC to the capture instrument either with or
without latching the data in the PLD. Tables 3 and 4
show how to configure the PLD device through the
MODE and INV jumpers on the evaluation board to
enable the latching capability. The ADC12C170XXEB
is factory assembled with both the MODE and INV
jumpers 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.
