The digital input signal to the DAC is provided from the FMC connector (J16) on up to eight 12.5-Gbps SerDes lanes using the JESD204B interface standard. The FMC connector is also used for the SYNC signal required to establish the JESD204B link and both device clock and SYSREF signal for the FPGA. The analog output of the DAC3XJ8X can be monitored on the installed SMA connectors labeled IOUTA through IOUTD for channels A through D, respectively. The analog outputs are transformer coupled and do not pass low frequency signals below approximately 10 MHz. The transformer converts the differential DAC output to a single-ended output for use with common laboratory equipment through wired SMA cable connections. The clocks for the DAC and FPGA are distributed using the LMK04828 ultra low-noise clock jitter cleaner for JESD204B applications. The LMK04828 can be setup in a variety of configurations including clock distribution mode and dual-loop jitter cleaning mode. In clock distribution mode, the desired DAC output rate is provided to the CLKIN connector and the LMK04828 divides and distributes the device clocks and SYSREF signals. In dual-loop mode, the CLKIN connector can be used to provide a reference to the LMK04828, but the clocks are generated on board using the LMK04828 PLL and onboard 122.88 MHz VCXO. Figure 1 shows a simplified block diagram of the DAC3XJ8XEVM. See the schematics and bill of materials (BOM) located in the DAC3XJ8X Design Package (SLAC646) for detailed information. Table 1 contains descriptions of many of the connectors and jumpers available on the DAC3XJ8XEVM.

Clocks Generated or Distributed by LMK04828 The DAC clocks and FMC clocks come from the onboard LMK04828 clock chip. This is the default option. The device clock for the DAC is DCLKOUT2 and SYSREF is SDCLKOUT3. There are three pairs of clocks sent to the FMC connector meant for the FPGA or other use. The device clock and SYSREF pairs sent to the FMC connector are as follows: DCLKOUT0 and SDCLKOUT1, DCLKOUT6 and SDCLKOUT7, and DCLKOUT8 and SDCLKOUT9. Any of these pairs can be configured as a device clock and SYSREF pair or as two device clocks of the same frequency. Only one clock is needed for use with the TSW14J56 which is DCLKOUT0 and SDCLKOUT1 and the other two FMC clock pairs can be powered off. 2. FMC Port Provides Clocks to DAC3XJ8X The DAC device clock and SYSREF are provided through the FMC port on the signals FMC_DACCLK_P/N and FMC_SYSREF_P/N. For this option, R16, R18, R4, and R7 must be uninstalled and R187, R188, R189, and R190 need to be installed. If a common-mode voltage of 0.5 V cannot be guaranteed on these signals then it is recommended to install 0.01-µF capacitors instead of 0-Ω resistors for these components. The LMK04828 can still be used to provide clocks to the FMC connector, but the DACCLK and FPGA clocks should share the same time base for proper operation. If the LMK04828 is not used then it should be powered down. 3. DAC3XJ8X Clocks are Provided through SMP Connectors The DAC device clock and SYSREF are provided through the SMP connectors (J1, J3, J5, J7). For this option, R16, R18, R4, and R7 need to be uninstalled and C12, C16, C1, and C8 need to be installed. DC coupling of these signals is only recommended if a common-mode voltage of 0.5 V can be guaranteed on these signals, in which case, 0-Ω resistors can be installed instead. The LMK04828 can still be used to provide clocks to the FMC connector, but the DACCLK and FPGA clocks should share the same time base for proper operation. If the LMK04828 is not used then it should be powered down. 14 DAC3XJ8XEVM SLAU547B – January 2014 – Revised April 2016 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2014–2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Clock Configuration www.ti.com 5.2 LMK04828 Configuration Options The following list describes three options for using the LMK04828 to provide clocks to the DAC3XJ8X and FMC connector: 1. Clock Distributor The LMK04828 is used as a clock distributor. This mode is selected by choosing "External" for the EVM Clocking Mode on the Quick Start tab of the GUI. In this case, the fastest required clock, or an integer multiple of it, should be provided to the CLKIN SMA connector (J17) with a maximum frequency of 2.5 GHz. The LMK04828 is used to divide down to the desired clock frequencies. Leave JP2 open to turn off the onboard VCXO to avoid crosstalk. 2. Clock Generator using Onboard VCXO The LMK04828 is used as a clock generator using the onboard 122.88 MHz VCXO. This mode is selected by choosing "Onboard" for the EVM Clocking Mode on the Quick Start tab of the GUI. JP2 must be shorted to turn on the onboard VCXO. The internal PLLs of the LMK04828 can be used with the onboard VCXO to generate the desired frequencies. The possible LMK04828 VCO frequencies are 2457.6 MHz and 2949.12 MHz with the possible clock outputs being an integer division of those, with a maximum division of 32. The first PLL of the LMK04828 can be used to lock to an external reference provided to the CLKIN SMA connector (J17), but it is not required. 3. Clock Generator using External Reference The LMK04828 is used a clock generator using an external reference provided to the CLKIN SMA connector (J17). For this option, R177, C206, and C121 should be uninstalled and R185, R186, and C92 should be installed. JP2 can be left open to turn off the onboard VCXO to avoid crosstalk. This option allows a wider frequency range of generated clock frequencies only limited by the VCO frequency ranges of the LMK04828 (see LMK04828 datasheet (SNAS605) for VCO frequency ranges). The possible clock outputs are an integer division of the VCO frequency with a maximum division of 32. PLL1 of the LMK04828 is bypassed in this mode 6 References 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
