1 Quick View of Evaluation Setup
Figure 1 is an overview of the evaluation setup that includes the ADS5296 EVM, TSW1400 data capturing
card, external equipment, personal computer (PC), and software requirements.
TSW1400 EVM: The high-speed LVDS deserializer board is required for capturing data from the ADS5296
EVM and its analysis using the TSW1400 graphical user interface (GUI), called High Speed Data
Converter Pro (HSDCpro). For more information pertaining to the TSW1400 EVM, see:
http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/tsw1400evm.html
Equipment: Signal generators (with low-phase noise) must be used as source of input signal and clock in
order to get the desired performance. Additionally, band-pass filters (BPF) are required in signal and clock
paths to attenuate the harmonics and noise from the generators. (Note: Functionality of the setup
shown in Figure 1, including the LVDS interface between the ADS5296 and FPGA on the capture
card, can be tested using the on-chip test pattern generator and the on-board crystal oscillator for
an ADC sampling clock source.)
Power Supply: A single +5-V supply powers the ADS5296 EVM through connectors located at J1 and J2.
The supply for the ADS5296 device is derived from this +5 V supply. The power supply must be able to
source up to 1.5 A. The TSW1400 EVM is powered through an AC adaptor provided with its EVM kit.
USB Interface to PC: The USB connections from the ADS5296 EVM and TSW1400 EVM to the personal
computer (PC) are used for communication from the GUIs to the boards.
