ADS61JBxx EVM User’s Guide
This document is intended to serve as a user’s guide for the ADS61JBxx EVM (EVM). The ADS61JB23
EVM provides a platform for evaluating the ADS61JB23, which is a single channel, 12-bit ADC operating
at sampling rates of up to 80 Msps, with the digital data output on a JESD204 8b10b-coded serial link at
data rates of up to 1.6 Gbps. The ADS61JB46 EVM supports the 14-bit, 160 Msps ADS61JB46.
This EVM is ideally suited for mating with the TSW1200 or TSW1400 Capture Cards for performing a data
capture into a capture buffer, uploading the sample data to a PC, performing an FFT, and reporting on
SNR, SFDR, and other performance metrics. Since the TSW1200 does not have native support for
JESD204 serial links, the ADS61JBxx EVM has an FPGA to deserialize the sample data and reformat it to
an LVDS DDR parallel data format that the Capture Card can accept.

EVM Block Diagram
Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram of the default configuration of the EVM. The analog input is
supplied to the EVM through a single-ended SMA connection, then transformer coupled to turn the single
ended signal into a balanced differential signal, and then input to the ADS61JBxx. A dual transformer input
circuit is used for better phase and amplitude balance of the input signal than would typically be produced
by a single transformer input circuit.

The clock input is supplied by way of a single-ended signal to an SMA connector and transformer coupled
to produce a differential clock signal for the ADS61JBxx.
Power to the EVM is supplied by a single 5-V connection by way of banana jacks. All necessary voltages
for the ADS61JBxx are derived from the 5-V input connection.

EVM Power Supply
Figure 2 shows the power supply options available on the ADS61JBxx EVM. Jumpers are used to choose
the power supply options. The default jumper position is indicated by the darker portion of the jumper that
represents the presence of the jumper.
There are two power supply options for getting the 5-V power to the EVM. The 5-V power may be input
directly to the banana jack (J10). Alternatively, a higher supply followed by an LDO voltage within the
range of 6 V to 36 V may be input to J10 and an efficient DC-DC switching power supply is used to
generate 5 V from the higher input supply. From the 5-V supply rail, linear low dropout (LDO) regulators
are used to generate the 1.8 V for the analog and digital supplies for the ADS61JBxx, the 3.3 V for the
input buffer of the ADS61JBxx, and the various supplies needed for the FPGA.

EVM Jumper and Switches
There are many jumpers on the ADS61JBxx EVM to select operational modes of the ADC, power supply
options, and SPI port options. Many of the jumper selections that involve DC inputs or static control
signals are by way of push-on square post jumpers. Figure 3 illustrates the position of the jumpers relative
to the more recognizable features of the EVM, such as the banana jacks or SMA inputs. Jumper
selections that involve high-speed switching signals are implemented by way of surface mount zero-Ω
jumper resistors, represented in Figure 4. In both figures, the default jumper positions are indicated as the
EVM is normally shipped. Note that some of the jumpers are left open circuit, by default. The surface
mount jumper resistors require soldering to change from default to any other desired configuration.
The functions of the connectors, LEDs and pushbutton switches are described by their labels in Figure 2.
LEDs D4, D5, D6, and D7 are lit to show the presence of the supply voltages to the EVM and to the ADC.
LED D8 indicates that the FPGA has loaded its bit file from the EEPROM. LEDs D9 and D10 are reserved
for future use.

Overview
www.ti.com
There are four pushbutton switches on the EVM. Pushbutton switch SW1 may be used to assert a reset
signal to the ADS61JBxx. The ADS61JBxx requires a reset before it may be configured for use, but it is
not necessary to use the switch (SW1). It is also acceptable to use the ADS61JBxx SPI GUI to toggle the
reset register bit in the ADS61JBxx register map.
The remaining pushbutton switches are used by the FPGA. SW2 causes the FPGA to reload its
programming from the on-board flash EEPROM. (As the FPGA loads its programming from memory upon
every power cycle, the use of SW2 is often not necessary.) SW3 is used to reset the serial receivers in the
FPGA.
Note: This is necessary after every disruption of the serial link.
That is, after every power cycle or disruption of the sample clock, the FPGA receivers must be reset by
pressing SW3. SW4 causes the FPGA to assert the SYNC signal back to the ADS61JBxx, which in turn
causes the ADS61JBxx to send a special synchronization pattern on the serial lines letting the receiver
find byte-alignment to the sample boundaries on the serial lines.
Note: After every assertion of SW3, SW4 must be asserted as well.
To summerize, the usual sequence to bring up the EVM after power is applied, is to reset the ADC by
either SW1 or by the SPI GUI, followed by processing SW3 and then SW4. After every disruption of the
clock to the EVM, press SW3 and then SW4.

Table 1 lists the jumper options of the EVM by category, along with the default position of the jumper and
a description of what the jumper does in the possible positions that the jumper might be set. Three pin
jumpers have an indication of pin 1 position both in Figure 2 and in the silkscreen on the top of the EVM
itself. A jumper installed between pins 1 and 2 is designated by 1-2 while a jumper installed between pins
2 and 3 is designated by 2-3. Silkscreen on the top of the EVM indicates the position of the jumpers. For
more detailed information on the function of each jumper position, see the ADS61JB23 data sheet
(SLOS755) or the ADS61JB46 data sheet (SBAS611).

For the power supply jumpers, note that the jumpers used to select between the DC-DC regulator or the
LDO regulator must be moved in pairs. If jumper JP17 is set to route power to the DC-DC regulator, then
jumper JP19 must also be set to connect the DC-DC regulator to the ADS61JBxx supplies or the ADC will
not receive power.

FPGA Control
Surface mount zero-Ω resistor jumpers are described in Table 2. The four SPI lines to the ADC (SCLK,
SEN, SDATA, and SDO) are driven by the USB port on the EVM under the control of the ADS61JBxx SPI
GUI software, by default. Alternatively, the TSW1200 Capture Card and its user interface may be used to
perform SPI writes to the ADC, in which case, four surface mount resistors must be removed from their
default positions and soldered in the alternate positions.
The ADS61JBxx has a VCM pin that outputs a common mode voltage which may be used to bias the
common mode level of the analog input. Since the ADS61JBxx has a buffered analog input and the input
signal is internally biased to VCM if the signal is AC coupled, the VCM pin is unconnected, by default. A
zero-Ω jumper resistor may be installed to connect the VCM to the analog input termination network.

Overview

Many of the surface mount components listed in Table 2 are used to select whether the serialized data
outputs are to be connected to the connector or to the FPGA, as well as whether the serial pairs are to be
AC coupled or DC coupled. Figure 5 shows the options available, showing just one of the available two
signal pairs. The default connection is to DC couple (with zero-Ω resistors) the CML (Current Mode Logic)
serial outputs from the ADS61JBxx to the serial receivers of the FPGA. The FPGA then provides
termination of the transmission line as well as the pull-up path to supply that the CML output drivers
require. This is the simplest connection. If the FPGA is not to be used to reformat the sample data for the
TSW1200 or TSW1400, then the zero-Ω resistors may be moved from their default location and instead
soldered to connect the CML outputs to the EVM output connector J8. It is also possible to use AC
coupling caps instead of zero-Ω jumper resistors, in which case the CML drivers will now require an
additional 50-Ω pull-up resistor at the output pins of the CML driver. Figure 5 shows the provisions made
on the EVM for all these options.

Basic Test Procedure
This section outlines the basic test procedure for testing the EVM. TSW1200 is shown in Figure 7,
although TSW1400 or TSW1405 provide a newer and more full-featured capture system.
3.1
Test Block Diagram
The test set-up for evaluation of the EVM with the TSW1200 Capture Card is shown in Figure 7. This
figure is the initial setup screen from the TSW1200 User Interface itself. As seen in this figure, the
evaluation setup involves a clock from a high quality signal generator and a sine wave for the analog input
from a high quality signal generator. High order, narrow bandpass filters are usually required on clock and
input frequency to remove phase noise and harmonic content from the input sine waves. If the two signal
generators are not synchronized by an external reference signal to make the clock and input frequency
coherent, then the resulting FFT first needs to have a windowing function such as Hanning or BlackmanHarris applied to the data in the Capture Card GUI.

– Initial jumper setting of ADS61JBxx as per Table 1 (if default usage of the ADC is desired).
ADS61JBxx Software Quick Start Guide
Figure 6 introduced the front panel of the ADS61JBxx SPI GUI. This section covers the initial use of the
SPI GUI necessary for most evaluations of the ADS61JBxx.
• Press Reset USB Port if the USB connection has been disrupted since last use, or if an error message
pops up warning that the USB connection is not valid.
• Use the mouse to select the ‘reset’ position of the reset switch. This switch is self-clearing.
• Press Send All to send any special register writes that may be pre-stored in the Advanced tab.
• On the ADS61JBxx EVM press the SW3 pushbutton switch (resets the FPGA receivers).
• On the ADS61JBxx EVM press the SW4 pushbutton switch (Asserts SYNC input to ADS61JBxx).
• From this point, select digital functions as desired such as test pattern modes if desired. All register
bits listed in the register map of the ADS61JBxx data sheet have a ‘switch’ on the front panel of the
SPI GUI for easy configuration of the ADS61JBxx.
NOTE: Some of the front panel switches may be ‘greyed out’ and unavailable for use. These
functions must first be enabled by selection of a different switch, as indicated in the
ADS61JB23 or ADS61JB46 data sheet. For example, the octets or frame selection is
unavailable because the default state of the CTRL_F switch is off. Select the CTRL_F switch
to toggle the switch to the enabled state, and then the octets or frame selection becomes
available for use.

TSW1200 Quick Start Operation
Reference the TSW1200 User’s Guide for more detailed explanations of the TSW1200 set-up and
operation. This document assumes the TSW1200 software is installed and functioning properly. The
ADS61JBxx needs TSW1200 operating software version 1.2 or higher with Rev B (or higher) of TSW1200
board.
Single tone FFT test:
• Select the ADS61JBxx as the TI ADC Device Selection. If this device does not appear in the device
selection, then the initialization file ADS61JBxx.ini is missing from the ADC Files folder where the
TSW1200 User Interface was installed. Close the TSW1200 GUI, copy the ADS61JBxx.ini file into the
ADC Files folder and relaunch the TSW1200 GUI.
• Select Single Tone FFT Test.
• Select number of sample points (and resulting number of FFT bins) to be used.
• Enter the ADC Sampling rate.
• Enter the input frequency desired. If the clock and input frequency signal generators are synchronized,
then make sure the checkbox for coherent frequency is checked and set the input frequency signal
generator to the input frequency displayed.
• Press the Capture button.
• Observe an FFT result similar to that of Figure 8.
If the basic capture at this point is correct, then the front panel options of the SPI GUI and the front panel
options of the TSW1200 GUI may be varied as desired.
