4.0 Functional Description

The ADC08100 Evaluation Board schematic is shown in
Figure 2.

4.1 Input (signal conditioning) circuitry

The input signal to be digitized should be applied to BNC
connector J2. This 50 Ohm input is intended to accept a
low-noise sine wave signal of 1.5V peak-to-peak
amplitude. To accurately evaluate the ADC08100
dynamic performance, the input test signal should be
passed through a high-quality bandpass filter (60dB
minimum stop-band attenuation) as even the best
generators do not provide a pure enough sine wave to
properly evaluate an ADC.
Resistors R15, R15A, R16 and R18 provide the needed
input bias to the ADC08100. You can center the input
signal to the ADC by adjusting reference voltages V RT
and V RB with VR1 and VR2 or by making slight
adjustments to voltage an Power Connector pin 1.

4.2 ADC reference circuitry

The provided reference circuitry will provide nominal
reference voltage ranges of 1.3V to 2.6V for V RT and 0V
to 1.3V for V RB , Providing for nominal input ranges of 0V
to 2.6V peak-to-peak. Note that this is beyond the
maximum specified 2.3V range of the ADC08100.
The reference voltages for the ADC08100 can be
monitored at test points TP2 and TP4 and are set with
VR1 and VR2. Signal offset can be provided by adjusting
both of these potentiometers, or by minor adjustments to
the +5 Volts at pin 1 of Power Connector P1.

4.3 ADC clock circuit

The clock signal applied to the ADC is selected with
jumper J4. A standard ECL-level 100 MHz crystal
oscillator should be installed at Y1 and the divide by 2
function selected by shorting pins 1 and 2 of jumper JP4.
