4.3 Connecting Power and Signal Sources
1. With the WaveVision software running, power-up
the WaveVision 5.1 board.
2. Connect the ADC16V130 reference board to the
WaveVision 5.1 board through the FutureBus
connector as shown in Figure 2. The ADC16V130
evaluation board should not be powered up, as the
WaveVision hardware does not support hotswapping of boards.
3. Connect a 5.0V power supply capable of supplying
up to 500mA to the green power connector which is
located along the bottom edge of the ADC16V130
board. This is shown in Figure 2. Ensure that the
polarity of the wires going to the green power
connector match the “+5V” and “GND” labels in
Figure 2 above. Turn on the 5V supply.
4. Connect the signal source through the “INPUT”
SMA connector and the clock source through the
“CLK_DIFF” SMA connector as shown in Figure 1a
and Figure 2. Recommended signal generators
are the HP8644B (HP/Agilent) or the SMA100A
(Rohde & Schwarz). A bandpass filter between the
signal generator outputs and the ADC16V130EB
SMA connectors is required to measure the true
performance of the ADC16V130.
A 3 dB
attenuator is also recommended between the
Analog Input SMA connector and bandpass filter.
See Figure 2.
5. Set the analog input source and clock source
frequencies and amplitudes to the desired values.
The analog input signal generator amplitude will
need to be adjusted during evaluation to obtain the
desired signal amplitude at the ADC input.
6. In the WaveVision software, click the Reset
Hardware button to get the WaveVision software to
load the appropriate firmware to allow data capture
from the ADC16V130. The ADC16V130EB may
also be detected automatically by the software.
7. Capture the data and display the FFT of the
captured data with the WaveVision software.
5.0 Functional Description
5.1 Clock Input
The ADC16V130 can accept either a single-ended or a
differential clock input. The ADC16V130 evaluation
board has a single ended clock input but converters the
clock to a differential signal using a flux transformer
(Mini-Circuits ADT1-1WT+) to provide a differential
clock to the ADC16V130.
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 SMA100A from Rohde &
Schwarz or the HP8644B (discontinued) from Agilent /
Hewlett Packard, can also be used with a slight

degradation in the noise performance. The clock
signal generator amplitude is typically set to +16.0 dBm
to produce the highest possible slew rate. When using
a low phase noise clock source, the SNR is primarily
degraded by the broadband noise of the signal
generator. Placing a bandpass filter between the clock
source and the clock input 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 ADC16V130 datasheet are obtained with a
tunable bandpass filter made by Trilithic, Inc. in the
clock signal path.

5.2 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.
The ADC16V130 evaluation board is delivered from the
factory with the analog input network optimized for
analog input frequencies less than 160 MHz. The
component values on the board as assembled are
shown in Figure 4 below.
The 22pF differential
capacitor and 10pF capacitors to ground act as a low
pass filter with a corner frequency of approximately 160
MHz. To allow input signals greater than 160 MHz to
pass through un-attenuated, the circuit in Figure 4 can
be modified by reducing the size of the capacitors at
the input of the ADC16V130.
A low noise signal generator such as the HP8644B is
recommended to drive the signal input of the
ADC16V130 evaluation board. The output of the signal
generator must be filtered to suppress the harmonic
distortion produced by the signal generator and to allow
accurate measurement of the ADC16V130 distortion
performance. A low pass or a bandpass filter is
recommended to filter the analog input signal. In some
cases, a second low pass filter may be necessary. The
bandpass filter on the analog input will further improve
the noise performance of the ADC by filtering the
broadband noise of the signal generator. Data shown
in the ADC16V130 datasheet was taken with a tunable
bandpass filter made by Trilithic in the analog signal
path.

resistor and the center tap of the second cascaded
transformer (MA/COM MABACT0040) to provide the
necessary common mode voltage to the differential
analog input.
5.4 Board Outputs
The digitized 16-bit output word from the ADC16V130
evaluation board is presented in parallel LVDS format.
The digital output from the ADC16V130 evaluation
board consists of 36 lines which are arranged into 18
LVDS pairs. These 18 pairs of lines carry the 16-bit
output data (16 pairs), the Data Clock Out signal
(OUTCLK+/-) which should be used to capture the
output data (1 pair) and the Data Over-Range bit
(OR+/-) which indicates that the digital output has
exceeded the maximum signal that can be digitized (1
pair).
The 16-bit digital output word is available on the
FutureBus connector at pins A5/B5 (MSB +/-) through
A12/B12 and A14/B14 through A21/B21 (LSB +/-) of
the FutureBus connector. The DRDY signal which
should be used to capture the digital data is also in
LVDS format and it is available at pins A13/B13
(OUTCLK +/-) on the FutureBus connector. The rising
edge of the OUTCLK signal should be used to capture
the digital data from the ADC16V130. The over-range
bit (OR) is not available on the FutureBus connector,
but it can be measured on the evaluation board across
resistor R32 on the top side of the board.
Please see the Evaluation Board schematic in Section
6.0 and the ADC16V130 datasheet for further details.
5.5 Power requirements
Power to the ADC16V130 evaluation board is supplied
through the green power connector labeled “+5V”
which is located along the left edge of the board.
Voltage and current requirements are:
• +5V capable of providing up to 500mA (ADC16V130
evaluation board only)
