This evaluation board also includes the following important features:
The digital data from the ADCxxDJxx00RF-TRF1208-EVM board is quickly and easily captured with the TSW14J57EVM data capture boards.
The TSW14J57EVM cannot be used for JMODES that use 64b/66b encoding, or serial rates above 15 Gbps.
The TSW14J57EVM captures the high-speed serial data, decodes the data, stores the data in memory, and then uploads it to a connected PC through a USB interface for analysis. The High-Speed Data Converter Pro (HSDC Pro) software on the PC communicates with the hardware and processes the data.
With proper hardware selection in the HSDC Pro software, the TSW14J57 device is automatically configured to support a wide range of operating speeds of the ADCxxDJxx00RF-TRF1208-EVM, but the device may not cover the full operating range of the ADC device. Serial data rates of 15 Gbps down to 1 Gbps are supported.
This section describes how to setup the EVM on the bench with the proper equipment to evaluate the full performance of the ADC device.
The following equipment and documents are included in the EVM evaluation kit:
The following equipment is not included in the EVM evaluation kit, but is required for evaluation of this product:
By default, the ADCxxDJxx00RFEVM has an external clocking solution. A few small board modifications enable onboard clocking. If onboard clocking is used, the following equipment is recommended.
The frequency of clock source used to drive the external reference clock (labeled REF CLK J17) displayed on the first page of the GUI under Reference Clock. The reference clock frequency is calculated by the GUI using JMODE and the sampling frequency (Fs) entered by the user. The reference clock generator and device clock generator must be frequency-locked using a common 10 MHz reference.
