Quick Start Guide
The EVM test procedure to obtain a valid data capture from the ADC32RFxx-EVM using the
TSW14J56EVM capture card is provided in this section. This is the starting point for all evaluations.
2.1
Introduction
The ADC32RFxx-EVM includes the ADC32RF4x or ADC32RF8x analog-to-digital converter with
JESD204B interface, and the LMK04828 clock chip to generate the device clock and SYSREF to the
ADC. Also included on the EVM is the optional LMX2582 or LMX2592 clock synthesizer device. Jumpers
and solder options on the EVM allow selection of the ADC sample clock from the LMX2582, the
LMK04828, or from a transformer-coupled external SMA input. The default assembly option is the
transformer-coupled external clocking option as set by jumper JP3. The EVM has an FMC connector
suitable for connection to readily-available FPGA development boards or to the TSW14J56 capture card.
The FPGA on the capture card also requires a device clock and SYSREF signal and the LMK04828 clock
device also supplies these signals to the FMC connector for that purpose.
This document conveys all information needed to bring up the ADC32RFxx-EVM and TSW14J56 capture
card, and get a valid data capture with good FFT results.
The JESD204B interface requires a number of important parameters to be decided in advance of setting
up the data link, such as; number of lanes, number of converters, number of samples per frame, and a
value K number of frames per multi-frame, among other parameters. Both sides of a JESD204B link must
be set up with the same values for all these parameters, or else the FPGA that receives the data will not
be able to establish a synchronized link. Getting these parameters inconsistent between ADC and
FPGA is perhaps the biggest single reason for an EVM setup to not function as expected. The GUI
installers that come with the ADC32RF4xx and the TSW14J56 come with configuration files that are
meant to enable quick initial setup of a number of basic configurations. TI strongly suggests setting up
the EVM and capture card with a configuration described in this document and getting a working setup
before modifying the configuration to be closer to what the end-application requires. In this way the user
can know that the hardware is functioning, and that there is a working configuration that they can go back
to in the event of difficulty developing their own configuration.
The HSDC Pro GUI that comes with the TSW14J56 requires initialization files for both the decimation and
mixer logic (DDC) and the non-decimated full-rate mode called LMF82820 or 5-sample mode. (LMF82820
mode means that there are 8 lanes in use for 2 channels of ADC, with 8 octets of information on each
lane per frame, for 20 samples of data per frame per channel. That is equivalent to 5 samples per lane per
frame, hence the mode being called 5 sample mode. 5 samples per lane times 8 lanes is 40 samples, or
20 samples per channel. This mode is sometimes called bypass mode because the decimation and mixer
logic is bypassed in favor of full rate output).
Please note that the configuration files for setting up the LMK04828 clocking device are different for the
DDC case than they are for the non-decimation (5-sample) case. The different modes of operation of the
ADC affect the data rates on the JESD204B interface, and thus affect the clocking needed for the FPGA.
The configuration files are not interchangeable. For example, the LMK_ADC32RF45_bypass_2457
Msps.cfg file and LMK_ADC32RF45_2457 Msps.cfg file both set the sample clock for the ADC at 2.4576
GHz, but the SYSREF and the device clock to the FPGA is different for the two files.
This document introduces the software that must be installed on a PC, and presents a basic setup for the
Bypass and DDC modes available in the ADC32RF45, both modes being clocked by an externally
supplied clock. The LMK04828 clock chip supplies SYSREF to the ADC and clock and SYSREF to the
TSW14J56. ADC32RF8x can be configured in DDC mode by following the same steps as that for
ADC32RF45. ADC32RF44 only supports a maximum clock rate of 2.6 Gsps and an example configuration
with internally generated clock (on-board LMX2582) is shown. The last section covers the steps to supply
an internally-generated sample clock to the ADC, by either the LMK04828 or LMX2582.

Fs = 2 GHz, 8x Decimation Example, External Clocking
This example captures 8x decimated data from channel A of the ADC32RF82 EVM sampling at 2 GHz
with a 1860-MHz RF input source. The ADC requires the device clock and SYSREF signals to be
present before the ADC can be properly configured so the LMK (and optional LMX, if used) setup
must have been done before configuring the ADC.
1. Open the ADC32RFxx EVM GUI.
2. Verify that the green USB Status indicator is lit. If it is not lit, click the Reconnect? button and check
the USB Status indicator again. If it is still not lit then verify the EVM is connected to the computer
through USB. Whenever the USB link is disturbed, the GUI must obtain a new handle to address the
proper USB port, and the Reconnect? button does that.

Quick-Start Procedure for Bypass LMFS 42810 Mode in ADC32RF42 With Internal Clocking
Quick-Start Procedure for Bypass LMFS 42810 Mode in ADC32RF42 With Internal
Clocking
This section lists the steps to configure ADC32RF42 in 12-bit bypass mode. The steps are the same as
those listed in Section 3 with a lower clock rate. The ADC32RF42 is internally 2-way interleaved instead of
4-way interleaved as with the ADC32RF45, so many aspects of the operation of the EVM are halved. The
maximum sample rate is 1536 MSPS, half of what the ADC32RF45 would support. The number of lanes
used to transmit the data is halved when in bypass mode, so the LMFS 82820 lane configuration used by
the ADC32RF45 becomes LMFS 42810 with the ADC32RF42. It is important to note that many of the
decimation modes while using the DDC functions are not halved, and the number of lanes and the LMFS
formats are the same as with the 4-way interleaved device. What is halved is the amount of effective
decimation after setting the decimation factor. For example, to get a decimation factor of 8 with the
ADC32RF42 the SPI register field would be set with the value that would previously have been used to
get a decimation factor of 16 with the ADC32RF45. This may lead to confusion when using the SPI GUI
with the ADC32RF42 and seeing a decimation factor or 16 being reported by the GUI when it is really
decimation by 8 when the ADC32RF42 is being used. The configuration files supplied with the GUI for the
ADC32RF42 already take this difference in decimation factor into account.
7.1
TSW14J56
Follow the steps listed in Section 3.1.
7.2
ADC32RF42 EVM
Follow the steps listed in Section 3.2, with the exception of steps 5 and 6. Instead of supplying an external
clock as was done in steps 5 and 6, the clocking is supplied from the onboard LMX2582 frequency
synthesizer.
Fs = 1.536 GHz, LMFS 42810 Example
This example captures data from channel A of the ADC32RF42 EVM sampling at 1.536 GHz with a 900MHz input source. The ADC requires the device clock and SYSREF signals to be present before the ADC
can be properly configured. Use the following steps to configure into this mode:
1. Open the ADC32RFxx EVM GUI.
2. Verify that the green USB Status indicator is lit. If it is not lit, click the Reconnect? button and check
the USB Status indicator again. If it is still not lit then verify the EVM is connected to the computer
through USB. Whenever the USB link is disturbed, the GUI must obtain a new handle to address the
proper USB port, and the Reconnect? button does that. When the GUI is first launched or the
Reconnect? button is used, the GUI will query the EVM for the type of EVM and the GUI displays the
EVM type. In this case, ADC32RF42 should be displayed.
3. On the PLL1 tab of the LMK04828 tab, press the RESET button.
4. On the ADC32RF42-EVM, press SW1 (ADC RESET) to provide a hardware reset to the ADC.
5. Click on the Quick Setup tab.
6. Select the Nyquist Zone for the input. It is the 2nd Nyquist in this example setup (Fs = 1.536 M, Fin =

ADC32RFxx Internally Generated Clocking
8.1
ADC32RF45 EVM LMX2582 (or LMX2592) Clocking
Set up the TSW14J56 and ADC32RF45 the same way as it was set up for external clocking, but with the
following modifications for internal clocking. Section 6 has already demonstrated the use of the LMX2582
for generating the clocking internal to the EVM, but this section covers more completely the use of either
the LMX2582 or LMK04828 for clocking the ADC.
1. Verify the clocking selection jumper JP3 is set to the INT position to select the clock to the ADC to be
generated on the EVM, either by the LMX2582 or the LMK04828. The default configuration for the
EVM is for the LMX2582 to be the clock source to the ADC while in internal clock mode. (To select the
LMK04828 as the ADC clock source, there are two AC coupling caps to unsolder and resolder in a
different position.) There need not be any input to the J5 external clock SMA. If the LMK04828 is to be
synchronized to the time base of the signal generator used for the analog input, then connect the 10MHz sync signal from the signal generator to the LMK04828 reference input J7.
2. All but one step to configure the device in this mode are the same as previously described in
Section 3.2. The only step different is the choice of Clock Source to ADC. That step is to be selected
as shown in Figure 34. The rest of the steps in Section 3.2 must be followed.

ADC32RF45 EVM LMK04828 Clocking
Set up the TSW14J56 and ADC32RF45 as before, with the following exceptions for internally generated
clocking:
1. Verify the clocking selection jumper JP3 is set to the INT position to select the clock to the ADC to be
generated on the EVM, either by the LMX2582 or the LMK04828. The default configuration for the
EVM is for the LMX2582 to be the clock source to the ADC while in internal clock mode. Unsolder the
two AC coupling caps from positions C409 and C410 and solder them into positions C431 and C432.
This disconnects the ADC device clock from the LMX2582 outputs and instead connects the
LMK04828 device clock output to be the clock source to the ADC. There need not be any input to the
J5 external clock SMA. If the LMK04828 is to be synchronized to the timebase of the signal generator
used for the analog input, then connect the 10-MHz sync signal from the signal generator to the
LMK04828 reference input J7. The LMK04828 is still used to supply SYSREF to the ADC and Clock
and SYSREF to the TSW14J56.
2. All but one step to configure the device in this mode are the same as previously described in
Section 3.2. The only step different is the choice of Clock Source to ADC. That step is to be selected
as shown in Figure 35. The rest of the steps in Section 3.2 must be followed.
