Introduction
1.1
Overview
www.ti.com
The TSW1266EVM evaluation module is a wideband, complex receiver reference design and evaluation
platform. The signal chain is ideal for high intermediate frequency (IF) complex feedback applications. The
signal chain has a wideband complex demodulator, the LMH6521 dual-channel, digitally controlled
variable gain amplifier (DVGA), and the ADS5402 12-bit 800-MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The
TSW1266EVM also includes the LMK04800 dual-PLL clock jitter cleaner and generator to provide an
onboard low-noise clocking solution.
The default configuration of the board allows for an RF frequency of 1880 MHz to 2390 MHz and an LO
frequency around 2600 MHz. The IF portion of the board, starting at the output of the demodulator to the
ADC input, is set for a center frequency of 460.8 MHz and a 3-dB bandwidth of 500 MHz. Modification of
both the RF and IF frequency ranges is possible.
A software GUI allows for configuring the ADS5402 and LMK04800. The GUI, or alternatively through the
high-speed connector with an FPGA, can control the gain of the LMH6521 DVGA. The EVM mates with
the TSW1400 pattern capture and generation board to capture data from the ADS5402. The High Speed
Data Converter Pro software tool then can perform signal analysis. The TSW1400 and High Speed Data
Converter Pro greatly simplify the evaluation process by providing the hardware and software necessary
for pattern capture and analysis.

Optional Features and Configurations
Clocking
The TSW1266EVM allows for multiple clocking configurations by using the LMK04800 clock jitter cleaner
and generation chip. The board comes preinstalled with a 122.88-MHz VCXO which can be used to
generate the sampling clock. A 10-MHz reference can be applied to the CLKIN connector to synchronize
the onboard clock with the signal sources. Otherwise, the onboard VCXO can be used to generate a nonsynchronous clock or clock distribution mode can be used.
The TSW1266 board comes preinstalled with the LMK04808 which has an internal VCO frequency range
of 2750 MHz to 3072 MHz. If the desired clock cannot be derived from this frequency range using integer
dividers, then this device can be swapped out for another LMK04800 with a different VCO range. Consult
the LMK04800 datasheet (SNAS489I) to determine which LMK04800 will provide the correct VCO range
for the needed clocking frequency.
The LMK04800 can be setup in clock distribution mode or as a clock generator using single or dual PLL
mode. The different modes of operation are discussed below.
• External Clock Mode: The LMK04800 can be setup in clock distribution mode to allow the use of an
external clock source. This can be used for coherent sampling by provided a clock that is synchronized
to the RF and LO signal sources. The TSW1266 GUI includes a configuration file for the external clock
mode. This file is located in the TSW1266 GUI installation directory in the folder Configuration Files
and is named external_clock.txt. The file can be loaded by clicking the Load button, navigating to the
correct folder, selecting the file, and clicking Ok. Click Send All a few times to make sure the board is
configured properly. The user provides an external clock through the CLKIN1 SMA connector on the
TSW1266 board.

www.ti.com
Onboard Clock using Single PLL Mode: In this mode, the 122.88-MHz VCXO is used to generate
other frequencies by using the single PLL mode of the LMK04800. The 122.88-MHz VCXO acts as the
reference for the PLL and the divided down internal VCO acts as the clock source. There is an
included configuration file that will setup the LMK04800 in single PLL mode and generate a 614.4-MHz
sampling clock for the ADS5402. This file is located in the TSW1266 GUI installation directory in the
folder Configuration Files and is named LMK04808_614p4M_Single_Loop.txt. The file can be loaded
by clicking the Load button, navigating to the correct folder, selecting the file, and clicking Ok. Click
Send All a few times to make sure the board is configured properly. The LED labeled D1 on the board
will light up indicating that the PLL is locked.
Onboard Clock using Dual PLL Mode: This mode of operation allows the user to provide a low
frequency reference through the CLKIN1 connector to generate a synchronized sampling clock. The
reference can come from any source, such as a 10-MHz reference from a piece of test equipment.
This allows for synchronization between all signal sources and for coherent sampling. There is an
included configuration file that will setup the LMK04800 in dual PLL mode and generate a 614.4-MHz
sampling clock for the ADS5402. This file is located in the TSW1266 GUI installation directory in the
folder Configuration Files and is named LMK04808_614p4M_Dual_Loop_10M_Ref.txt. The file can be
loaded by clicking the Load button, navigating to the correct folder, selecting the file, and clicking Ok.
Click Send All a few times to make sure the board is configured properly. The LED labeled D1 on the
board will light up indicating that both PLLs are locked. For other output or reference frequencies, use
the Clock Design Tool (http://www.ti.com/tool/clockdesigntool) to design the PLL settings.
Changing the RF and LO Frequencies
The default RF frequency range is 1880 MHz to 2390 MHz. The default LO frequency range is around
2600 MHz. These ranges are set by the matching networks on the RF and LO inputs of the demodulator.
These matching networks can be changed based on the data sheet of the part.
3.3.3
Changing the IF Frequency
The IF frequency of the TSW1266 is fixed due to the LC filters on the board. There is a filter between the
demodulator and the LMH6521 and a filter between the LMH6521 and the ADS5402. These filters provide
an overall 3-dB bandwidth of 500 MHz centered at 460.8 MHz. To change the IF frequency of the
TSW1266, the user must change the filters that are implemented on the board. There are many tools
available for download online that will calculate a filter design based on frequency and ripple
requirements. Use these tools to get a starting point for the filter design. Due to parasitic capacitance and
inductance on the board, the user must interactively tune the filter to achieve the desired response. Once
the filter has been designed for one channel, it can be implemented on the other channel as well.
3.3.4
Using the High-Speed Connector to Set the DVGA Gain
The high-speed connector (J1) on the TSW1266 board has connections that allow a user to change the
gain of the LMH6521 quickly. Pins 105, 107, 109, 111, 113, 115, 117, and 119 on the connector can be
used to pass the gain and latch signals from an FPGA to the DVGA. To use this feature, the jumper JP9
needs to be moved between pins 2 and 3. This configures the CPLD to route the gain from the connector
rather than from the USB connection.
