Bringup

The ADC3910D125EVM GUI currently only supports sample rates up to 90MHz. The GUI will be updated to support the full speed in the future.

  1. Connect a Bandpass filtered 65MHz clock signal to the ADC.
  2. Connect a bandpass filtered 5MHz analog input signal to either ADC input.
  3. Open HDC Pro. Always ensure that HSDC Pro is open before opening the GUI.
  4. When prompted to connect to a board, click Cancel.

  5. Open the ADC39xxEVM GUI and wait for the GUI to connect to the ADC3910D125EVM and the TSWDC155EVM. This may take up to 30 seconds.
