ADS58J89 Evaluation Module
This document outlines the basic steps and functions that are required to ensure the proper operation of
the Texas Instruments (TI) ADS58J89 Evaluation Module (EVM). The EVM includes an ADS58J89EVM, a
cable for connection to an external 5-VDC power supply, and a mini-USB cable. This EVM is designed to
be used with the TI TSW14J56EVM JESD204B capture card using a FMC connector interface or FPGA
development boards, such as the Xilinx KC705 or Altera Arria V. The ADS58J89EVM contains an
ADS58J89 (14-bit) four-channel, 500-MSPS front-end receiver IC. The EVM also contains a TI LMK04828
clock jitter cleaner. When used with the TSW14J56EVM, JESD204B standard output data from the EVM is
captured and sent to a host PC for analysis. This guide helps users to quickly evaluate the performance of
the ADS58J89EVM board by capturing and displaying waveforms using the TSW14J56 with the High
Speed Data Converter Pro GUI software. The EVM schematics, BOMs, and layout files are found in the
design package under the ADS58J89EVM product folder on www.ti.com.

Introduction
1.1
Overview
www.ti.com
The ADS58J89EVM is an evaluation module (EVM) used to evaluate Texas Instruments’ ADS58J89 frontend receiver IC and the LMK04828 clock jitter cleaner devices. The ADS58J89 (14-bit) is a four-channel,
500-MSPS front-end receiver IC with buffered analog inputs and outputs featuring a JESD204B interface.
The EVM has transformer-coupled analog inputs accommodating a wide range of signal sources and
frequencies. The LMK04828 provides an ultra-low-jitter and phase-noise sample clock along with system
reference clocks and a device sample clock for the mating FPGA capture board, for a complete
JESD204B subclass 1 clocking solution.
The ADS58J89 and LMK04828 are controlled through an easy-to-use software GUI enabling quick
configuration for a variety of uses.
The TSW14J56EVM connects directly to the ADS58J89EVM. The High Speed Data Converter Pro
software GUI processes the data from the TSW14J56EVM to quickly assess the performance of the
ADS58J89. The FMC output interface connector of the EVM has also been verified to be compatible with
both the Xilinx KC705 and Altera Arria V evaluation platforms.

Top Level GUI Controls
Figure 2 shows the top-level view of the GUI which contains the block diagram of the ADS58J89. Controls
for the ADS58J89 are under the ADS58J89 tab while controls for the LMK04828 are under the LMK04828
tab. The low level tab allows detailed bit-level access to all SPI registers of both the ADS58J89 and
LMK04828. At all times the status of the USB link between the PC and the EVM is indicated by an LED
indicator. A green indicator means the USB link is active. A red LED indicates the USB link must be reset.
The Reconnect FTDI button will attempt to reestablish the USB link between the PC and the EVM. For the
GUI to operate correctly it is important that the ADS58J89 and LMK04828 each be reset by clicking on the
respective reset control. The reset control will reset all the internal SPI registers to their default power-on
state, and then set the device in 4-wire SPI mode of operation. The USB interface on the EVM requires
the ADS58J89 and LMK04828 to be in 4-wire SPI mode for the SPI readback function to work. If power is
disrupted to the EVM at any time, a reset for each device will be required.

Trigger Configuration Controls
Clicking Trigger Configuration brings up the Trigger Configuration controls tab, shown in Figure 4. Trigger
controls for channels A and B are shown on the left side of the window and similar controls for channels C
and D are shown on the right side of the window. All of the controls on this tab are only useful if the device
is used in burst mode. In burst mode, the ADS58J89 outputs low resolution data until a trigger event is
presented to the device at which time the device begins to output 14 bit resolution data for a
programmable period of time. Then the device switches back to low resolution output for a minimum
different programmable period of time. The low-resolution output must be long enough that the duty cycle
of low resolution to high resolution output is above a certain minimum threshold. LED-style indicators on
the tab indicate whether the programmed length of time for high resolution and low resolution meet the
duty cycle requirements. Descriptions for the various controls are given in Table 3.

JESD204B Controls
Clicking on JESD204B Configuration opens the JESD204B Configuration controls tab, shown in Figure 5.
Use the ADS58J89 data sheet (SLAS659) for reference to assist with the descriptions of these various
controls. The ADS58J89 EVM SPI GUI comes with a number of configuration files that will set the EVM
into a known and tested configuration that works with the TSW14J56 capture card. Full control of the
JESD204B configuration is possible with the use of this tab of controls. Of primary importance are the
JESD204B parameters L, M, F, and K. The parameter M refers to the number of data converters in a
JESD204B link, and since the ADS58J89 is a four channel device then M is assumed to be 4. The
parameter L refers to the number of lanes used. The ADS58J89 may use one lane per channel when in 2x
decimation mode to output 250Msps or use 2 lanes per channel when outputting sample data at 500Msps.
L may then be either 4 or 8. The parameter F is the number of octets (an octet is half of a sample
transmitted per lane. The parameter K is a number of 'frames' of sample data bundled into a multiframe of
length K frames, and this sets the period of the SYSREF clock signal. The TSW14J56 capture card (or
other FPGA receiving JESD204B serial sample data from the EVM) must be configured with the same
parameters as the ADS58J89.

LMK Controls
Click the LMK04828 tab located in the top tab bar of the GUI. The bank of LMK04828 control tabs is
selected as shown in Figure 6. There are four lower level tabs for control of the LMK04828. The
LMK04828 is a dual-PLL clock device so there is a tab for setting controls for the first PLL and a tab for
setting controls of the second PLL. There is a tab for setting controls related to the programming of the
JESD204b SYSREF and SYNC signals. There is a tab for individual control of each of the 14 clock
outputs of the LMK04828. The first PLL is represented in the PLL1 Configuration tab. The first PLL
essentially takes a low-frequency reference and multiplies this up to an internal reference frequency. The
second PLL has a very clean narrow-bandwidth VCO of either 2.5 or 3.0 GHz that is locked to the internal
reference frequency from PLL1 and from this VCO the output clocks are generated.
Figure 6. LMK04828 PLL1 Configuration Tab
2.2.5.1
PLL1 Configuration
Much of this panel is organized in block diagram format to help visualize the function of the controls. The
function of PLL1 is to take an external reference clock, such as the 10-MHz reference from an oscillator
on the EVM, and generate a clean, low-jitter intermediate-frequency clock for use by the second PLL loop.
There are numerous integer divider values that may be used to create this intermediate frequency from
the external reference. This tab also contains the reset and power down controls for the whole LMK04828
device. Consult the LMK04828 data sheet (SNAS605) and design tools for more information regarding the
proper settings for configuring PLL1, particularly for the proper settings for the PLL1 phase detector and
charge pump values.

2.2.5.2
PLL2 Configuration
Clicking the PLL2 Configuration opens the PLL2 Configuration tab as shown in Figure 7. Much of this
panel is organized in block diagram format to help visualize the function of the controls. In this tab there is
the control to select whether an external VCO is used or an internal VCO of frequency 2.5GHz or 3.0GHz.
Several integer divider ratios can be set to lock the VCO to the frequency from PLL1, labeled as OSCin.
After configuring PLL2 to select a VCO and lock it to the input reference resulting in the desired VCO
frequency, this VCO frequency is then used to generate 14 clock outputs which are normally used as 7
pairs of device clock and SYSREF system reference clocks. One of the device clock/SYSREF pairs is
connected to the FMC connector to source DCLK/SYSREF to the FPGA on the TSW14J56 capture card.
Another DCLK/SYSREF pair is used to clock the ADS58J89. The other 5 pairs of clocks are normally
powered down but may be configured as additional clock outputs. The block diagram at the bottom of the
PLL2 Configuration tab illustrates some of the operations that might be applied to the 7 DCLK/SYSREF
pairs such as divider ratios or delay adjustments. The next two tabs provide the controls to select all these
available features that may be used to condition the DCLK/SYSREF pairs for a specific use. The
LMK04828 datasheet is indispensable in understanding the function of each of these many controls and
how these controls should be set for a specific use of the EVM.

Clock Output Controls
Clicking Clock Outputs opens the LMK04828 Clock Outputs tab, shown in Figure 8. This tab is organized
into 7 sections representing the 7 pairs of DCLK/SYSREF that the LMK04828 can generate. For each of
the 7 pairs of DCLK/SYSREF there are a number of controls that apply to both outputs, such as the option
to power down the pair of signals completely if not needed. For both DCLK and SYSREF there is an
option to select what type of output driver is to be used, such as LVDS or LVPECL. There are controls to
enable things like delay or inversion. For the DCLK, there is a control to select a divider ration to divide
the PLL2 VCO clock down to the desired output frequency. For example, if the ADS58J89 EVM is to be
operated at 500Msps then the configuration file supplied with the GUI will select the 3.0GHz VCO and
select a divider ratio of 6 to generate a 500-MHz DCLK. If the TSW14J56 capture card is used, the
TSW14J56 needs to see a DCLK reference that is one-twentieth the line rate of the serial data stream so
the divider ratio chosen is 12 to generate a 250-MHz DCLK to the FMC connector. These two divider
ratios can be seen in Figure 8.

SYSREF and SYNC Controls
Clicking SYSREF and SYNC opens the LMK04828 SYSREF and SYNC tab, shown in Figure 9. This tab
has controls specific to the generation of the SYSREF outputs of the LMK04828. Along the top of the tab
are controls that are common to all 7 of the SYSREF outputs, such as the SYSREF divider. One the
JESD204B link is configured for a specific line rate and all JESD204B parameters such as L, M, F, and K
are chosen then the SYSREF divider should be set to match the SYSREF rate to the Local MultiFrame
Clock period, or LMFC period. For the default configuration of the ADS58J89 EVM as configured by the
ADS58J89_500M_LMF881 config file, the device is set up for 2 lanes per channel, 1 octet per lane, with a
K value of 32. The resulting SYSREF divider value is 480 as shown in Figure 9, matching the SYSREF
rate to the LMFC rate of the ADS58J89 and TSW14J56 capture card configurations. Along the bottom of
the tab are controls that are specific to each of the 7 SYSREF outputs, such as delay settings.

Burst Mode Triggering
If the ADS58J89 receiver IC is not set up to use the decimation filter then the sample output will be at
500Msps if the sample clock is at 500-MHz. As described in the ADS58J89 datasheet, this sample output
will be at a reduced resolution than the full 14bit resolution of the data converter in the front end of the
device. The device may be triggered to output full 14bit resolution for a programmable length of time to be
followed by a period of reduced resolution. The ADS58J89 EVM provides several ways to trigger the burst
of high resolution output. A logic device on the EVM provides the trigger signal into the ADS58J89 by way
of the OVRA and OVRC pins for channels A and B or C and D respectively. There are three ways to
initiate this trigger. Pushbutton SW2 TRIGGER may be pressed to cause a trigger pulse. An external
trigger pulse from some other equipment may be brought into the EVM by way of SMA connection J5
TRIG_IN. The Trigger Burst button on the ADS58J89 EVM SPI GUI may be used to initiate a trigger signal
through a SPI write to the EVM. Any of these three events result in a trigger signal being sent to the
ADS58J89. This trigger signal is latched and delayed a short amount of time and then also output on the
SMA J26 TRIG_OUT. This output trigger may then be connected by 50 ohm coax cable to the TSW14J56
or other data capture device to begin data capture of the burst of high resolution output data. The small
delay in TRIG_OUT is to allow the high resolution output to begin before the capture device begins
capturing the sample data.

Low Level View
Clicking Low Level View opens the ADS58J8x EVM SPI GUI Low Level View tab, shown in Figure 10.
This tab allows for direct read/write access to each bit of each SPI address for both the ADS58J89 and
the LMK04828. This is also the tab used to load a previously saved configuration file or to save a new
configuration file once a specific EVM configuration is properly set up. There are several ways to
accomplish a read or write to a specific register. Highlighting a particular Register Name will cause the bits
of that register to display on the right side of the window. If there is a bit in that register that has a
datasheet definition then that definition is shown in the GUI. In the example shown in the figure, bit 4 of
address 0x00 is the bit to choose between 3-wire SPI or 4-wire SPI for the LMK04828. To set a bit to a '1',
check the box for that bit in the W column, then click Write Register. The GUI will write that register and
then immediately read back that register. If the write was successful, then the R column should reflect
what was just written from the W column. Another way to do a SPI access is to enter the address in the
Address control at the bottom of the window and then click the Write Register or Read Register below it.
Be sure to select the correct 'Block' first. If there are more than one devices with SPI access such as on
this EVM, then there is a 'Block' for each device. The ADS58J8x EVM has a Block of ADS58J89
addresses and a block of LMK04828 addresses.

Basic Test Setup
This section outlines basic testing of the ADS58J89EVM.
3.1
Test Block Diagram
The test setup for the ADS58J89EVM is shown in Figure 11. The TSW14J56 Capture Card is used to
capture data from the ADS58J89 EVM, which is then transferred to the computer for analysis in the
HSDCPro software. The analog signal into a channel of the ADS58J89 can be from any high-quality lowjitter analog signal source. The clock source is from the LMK04828, but the board provides an option to
use an external clock source, such as a HP8644B for the ADC sample clock. Note that a narrow
bandpass filter is recommended on the analog source, which is necessary to remove as much phase
noise from the signal source so as to achieve the best performance. The performance can be increased
using external clock mode as this allows for the use of a filter on the clock source.

ADS58J89 GUI
Use the following steps for setting up the ADS58J89 GUI:
1. Start the ADS58J89 GUI by selecting Start Menu → Program Files → Texas Instruments ADCs →
ADS58J8x GUI.
2. In the upper right-hand corner, there is either a red or green LED indicator labeled USB Status and a
button labeled RECONNECT FTDI?. If the LED button is red, then click the button until the LED
indicator turns green. This indicates that the ADS58J89EVM is connected to the computer.
3. Under the ADC Controls tab of the ADS58J89 tab, click on the Reset ADC button. The ADS58J89
EVM SPI GUI always does a read-back of every register write to verify that the desired value was
written. The ADS58J89 powers up in 3-wire SPI mode while the GUI requires 4-wire mode for the
readback function to work properly. The Reset ADC button will reset the ADC and set the device in 4wire mode so that the GUI will continue to work properly.
4. Under the PLL1 Controls tab of the LMK04828 tab, click on the Reset LMK button. The LMK04828
powers up in 3-wire SPI mode while the GUI requires 4-wire mode for the readback function to work
properly. The Reset LMK button will reset the LMK04828 and set the device in 4-wire mode so that the
GUI will continue to work properly.
5. On the low-level tab click the Load Config button. Choose one of the configuration files available. If
choosing ADS58J88_500M_442.cfg, this configuration file will set the ADS58J89 to use four
JESD204B lanes and set up the 2x decimation filter to output 250Msps while the LMK04828 is
configured to provide a 500-MHz device clock to the ADS58J89. If choosing
ADS58J88_500M_881.cfg, the ADS58J89 will not decimate the sample output to 250Msps but will
output 500Msps on 8 JESD204B lanes, and then either the SNRBoost feature of the ADS58J89 or the
Burst Mode must be used to output high resolution data. If high resolution burst mode is used, the
TSW14J56 must be set up to start data capture after receiving a trigger signal from the ADS58J89
EVM.
6. The two PLL's of the LMK04828 should now be locked. This is indicated on the ADS58J89 circuit
board by the illuminated LED's, D4 (PLL2 LOCKED) and D1 labeled (LMK LOCKED).
7. The TSW14J56 capture card should now be receiving a DEVICE clock and a SYSREF clock. This
causes the receiver FPGA to assert the JESD204B SYNC high, since synchronization has not been
established with the transmitter ADC. This is indicated by LED D3 (JESD_SYNC) illuminating on the
ADS58J89EVM. The SYSREF signal can be observed on either SMA J4 or J17 of the ADC EVM.
8. The TSW14J56 capture card should now be receiving valid data.
9. Since a periodic SYSREF signal acts as a sub-harmonic clock of the converter sampling clock and
may have spurious effect on the converter performance, it may be turned off during normal operation
once synchronization has been achieved. Click on the tab labeled LMK0428 Clock Outputs located at
the top of the GUI. Check the control for SDCLKout_PD in the block of controls for clocks CLKout 2
and 3. (See figure 8) This will power down the SYSREF to the ADS58J89. The SYSREF must be
running initially in order to establish a JESD204B link between the ADS58J89 and the FPGA on the
TSW14J56 but after initialization the SYSREF is no longer needed and may result in clock spurs
coupling into the ADS58J89, reducing performance.
NOTE: If SYSREF is turned off during normal operation, TX and RX devices must have the ability to
generate a Generate SYSREF request to the LMK04828 clock generator whenever a
synchronization request is detected at the SYNC interface.
10. If the JESD204B link does not get established, make sure the SYSREF MUX panel on the ADS58J89
GUI is set to SYSREF CONTINUOUS. If this is set to any other value, the SYSREF outputs will be
disabled from the LMK04828, thus preventing synchronization from occurring.

High Speed Data Converter Pro (HSDCPro)
1. Start the HSDCPro software tool by selecting Start Menu → All Programs → Texas Instruments
ADCs → High Speed Data Converter Pro.
2. When prompted for the serial number of the board, select the serial number that represents the
TSW14J56 that has been connected to the ADS58J89. This number is on a sticker on the TSW14J56
board.
3. In the Select ADC drop-down box, select ADS58J89_LMF442. If it asks to download the firmware,
select Yes. Multiple LEDs light up on the TSW14J56, once the firmware has finished downloading.
4. Select Single Tone from the Test Selection drop-down menu.
5. At the bottom-left corner, enter 250M in the ADC Sampling Rate (Fs) box. If not using an external 10MHz syncing signal from the analog signal source, then the 500-MHz sample clock from the
LMK04828 will not be coherent with the analog signal generator. In this case, do not select Auto
Calculation of Coherent Frequencies. If the clocks are synchronized with an external 10M syncing
signal and are to be coherent then select Auto Calculation of Coherent Frequencies.
6. If a windowing function is desired, then Blackman should be selected above the plot window. If the
clocks are synchronized with an external 10M syncing signal and coherent, select Rectangular.
7. All boards and software are now setup. Click the Capture button. A sample capture is shown in
Figure 12 for the ADS58J89 with a 250-MHz clock and 100-MHz input frequency.

third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions 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. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
