1 Introduction
The ADC3664EVM is an evaluation board used to evaluate the ADC3664 analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from
Texas Instruments. The ADC3664EVM is a dual-channel, 14-bit ADC that can operate up to 125 Mega-samples
per second (MSPS). The ADC3664 uses a serial LVDS (SLVDS) interface to output the digital data. The SLVDS
interface supports output rates to ~1 Gbps. The ADC3664 can be operated in 'oversampling + decimating' mode
using the internal decimation filter in order to improve the dynamic range and relax external anti-aliasing filter.
The ADC3664EVM is equipped with the following features:
•
•
•
•
•
Transformer and FDA coupled analog inputs
Transformer coupled or single-ended clock inputs
INA226 current shunt monitors for evaluating power consumption
Power over mini-USB
FMC connector
By default, the EVM is configured to receive external inputs for the sampling clock and analog input via ACcoupled, transformer (balun) inputs. These transformers perform single-ended to differential conversion, and
provide a low noise/distortion passive input.
To exercise the full performance capabilities of this high performance SAR ADC, it is recommended to evaluate
the ADC in the default configuration, and then evaluate in other configurations (like utilizing the FDA input), as
required.
2 Equipment
This hardware setup procedure is written with the intent to use external clocking (sample clock and DCLKIN) and
transformer coupled analog inputs. Using onboard FDA driven analog inputs is an option, and instructions are
provided toward the end of this document to make the required hardware/software modifications.
2.1 ADC3664EVM Functionality
The ADC3664EVM receives power from the USB 2.0, +5 V rail, and is then converted to +3.3 VDC and +1.8
VDC. The ADC receives +1.8 VDC from the TPS62231 DC-DC converter. The power consumption of the 1.8 V
rail can be monitored (using the INA226) in the ADC35xxEVM GUI. USB-to-SPI communication is established
using the FTDI (FT4234H). The ADC clocks are supplied externally, and have limited functionality for the
onboard CDCE6214 (Decimation modes only). The ADC3664 analog input can be AC coupled through the
Balun (ADT1-6T+) input, or DC (or AC) coupled with the onboard FDA (THS4541). The analog input is 3.2 Vpp,
and is driven a -1 dBFS (~2.8 Vpp) in all examples in this user's guide.
The ADC3664 has a +1.6 V voltage reference (VREF), and can be supplied internally or externally. By default,
the EVM is configured to supply an external voltage reference using the REF3318 (divided down to +1.6V) and
the OPA837 high speed amplifier to drive the voltage reference. At any time, the VREF can be changed to
internal reference by SPI write.
The ADC3664 family uses an unbuffered analog input, so a glitch filter is required to attenuate the ADC sampling
glitch from when the sampling capacitors switch (sample/hold). The glitch filter acts as a low pass filter with an
corner frequency (Fc) at 30 MHz (accepts DC to 30 MHz). The Fc of the glitch filter can be modified by changing
filter components.

The ADC3664EVM LVDS output data is routed to an FMC connector, and then connected to the LVDS
Interposer card. This interposer card then maps to the TSW1400EVM's HSMC connector in order to capture the
ADC36XXEVM SLVDS clock and data signals.

2.2 Evaluation Board Feature Identification Summary
Figure 2-3. ADC3664EVM Feature Identification
Ensure that jumper J16 is shunted in the 2-3 position. This allows 5 V to be supplied to the ADC3664EVM
through the mini-USB connector.
If an external 5-V supply is desired, J16 must be shunted in the 1-2 position, and the external 5 V can be
connected to the test point labeled "+5 EXT". The USB data connection will still be connected for SPI
communications.
J13 is tied to the REFBUF pin. It can be left floating, or can be tied to 1.8 V (shunt pins 2-3) for normal operation.
J14 is tied to the PDN/SYNC pin. It can be left floating for tied to ground (shunt pins 1-2) for normal operation. To
power down the ADC, tied to 1.8 V (shunt pins 2-3). The ADC may also be powered down via SPI.

2.3 Required Equipment
•
The following equipment is included in the EVM evaluation kit:
– ADC3664 Evaluation board (EVM)
– LVDS FPGA Interposer Card
– Mini-USB cable
The following equipment is not included in the EVM evaluation kit, but is required for evaluation of this EVM:
•
•
•
•
•
TSW1400EVM data capture board and related items
HSDC Pro software
PC running Microsoft® Windows® 7, or 10
One low-noise signal generators for the analog input (If using external clock option, additional signal
generator is required).
Two low-noise signal generators for the sample clock and DCLKIN. (These two signal generators must share
the same reference frequency).
TI recommends the following generators:
•
•
Rohde & Schwarz SMA100A
Rohde & Schwarz SMA100B
A bandpass filter is required for the analog input signal due to most signal generators addition of phase noise or
spurious components. A bandpass filter should also be used for the sample clock input. The DCLKIN input does
not require a bandpass filter. If bandpass filters are not used, then the true performance of the ADC may not be
seen clearly, and will be limited by the performance of the signal generators being used.
The following recommended bandpass filter will have:
•
•
Bandpass filter, greater than or equal to 60-dB harmonic attenuation, less than or equal to 5% bandwidth,
greater than 18-dBm power, less than 5-dB insertion loss
Signal-path cables, SMA

3.4 Connect the Power Supply and Mini-USB Connections
Use the following steps to connect the power supply and mini-USB connections:
1. Connect the power cable to the TSW1400EVM at 5 V (minimum 3 A) power supply. Place the power switch
(SW7) to the "On" position.
2. Connect the mini-USB cable to the TSW1400EVM (J2).
3. Connect the mini-USB cable to the ADC3664EVM (J16).
3.5 Connect the Clocks and Analog Input
Use the following steps to connect the external ADC clocks and analog input. The clock rates shown below are
for the power on/default settings (bypass mode/non-decimation), but the physical connections and signal power
levels will remain the same for all ADC modes.
1. For the sample clock (ADC3664EVM), set a signal generator to 125 MHz at a power level of +10 dBm.
Connect to the SMA connector J4. A bandpass filter for the sample clock is recommended for best AC
performance of the ADC3664EVM.
2. For the DCLKIN clock (ADC3664EVM), set a signal generator to 437.5 MHz at a power level of +10 dBm. A
bandpass filter is not required for the DCLKIN clock.
External ADC sampling clock source and DCLKIN source must be frequency locked. If this is not
performed, the captured data will appear scrambled. If using the onboard clocking option, the
sampling clock and DCLKIN are frequency locked.
3. For the analog input, set a signal generator to 10 MHz at a power level of ~ +15 dBm. A bandpass filter is
required to reduce harmonic and phase noise effects of the signal generator.
4 Device Configuration
A hardware reset should be performed before programming the ADC by toggling the push button switch S1.
A software reset can be performed at any time to reset the ADC registers to their default state.
4.1 Bypass Mode
The steps in Section 4.1.1 show how to configure the ADC3664EVM in Bypass mode.
4.1.1 ADC35XX GUI: Bypass Mode Configuration
After power up, the ADC3664EVM is preconfigured for 14 bit, 2W Bypass Mode (No Decimation). There are
other modes and sample rates that can be used in Bypass Mode, and Table 4-1 shows examples of required
clocks for different serialization options (1W and 1/2W). To calculate the correct DCLKIN frequency for the
desired sampling rate and mode, multiply the sampling rate by the DCLKIN multiplier (Serialization factor).

Onboard FDA Configuration
www.ti.com
5 Onboard FDA Configuration
By default, the analog input is configured to use the balun input (AD1T-6T+) for both analog input channels, but
can be modified to utilize the onboard FDA (THS4541).
In terms of performance as compared with the balun input, SNR and SFDR are similar up to ~ 15 MHz input
frequency. If using input frequencies above 15 MHz, it is recommended to use the balun input.
A benefit of using the FDA is that the required signal strength needs to achieve the full scale input is several dB
less when compared to the balun input (losses in 50 ohm termination for balun input).
Figure 5-1. ADC3664EVM: FDA Input
This procedure shows how to configure the FDA single-ended to differential conversion for CHA. The same
procedure can be performed for CHB (with the respective component designators).
The edge launched SMA connector J1 receives the single-ended analog input signal. R1 can be replaced with a
capacitor for AC coupling to FDA.

FPGA. A ramp pattern can be enabled by following these steps:
1. Click the yellow button "Analog Inputs and Clk".
2. Next to "Test Pattern CHA", click the drop down menu, and select "RAMP CUSTOM". This can be done for
"Test Pattern CHB" as well.
3. In the field next to "Custom Pattern", enter the number "16".
4. The digital ramp pattern is now enabled on the ADC. The output of the ADC is now a 14 bit, incrementing
ramp pattern.

5. In HSDC Pro, the ramp pattern can now be seen when data is captured. These same steps apply to any data
output mode (Bypass, Real Decimation and Complex Decimation).
