Using the quick-start procedure, many users can begin evaluating the ADC in a minimal amount of time. The quick-start procedure includes details on how to set up the ADS64XX EVM used in conjunction with TI's high-speed LVDS deserializer. A complete listing of all EVM features follows in Section 2.

Overview ADS64XX EVM. 6. ADS64XX and TSW1200: Switch power supplies on. 7. ADS64XX: Using a low-phase-noise, filtered frequency generator with 50-Ω source output impedance, generate a 0-V offset, 1.5-Vrms sine-wave clock into J12. The frequency of the clock must be within the specification for the device speed grade.
www.ti.com Circuit Description Circuit Description Schematic Diagram The schematic diagram for the EVM is in Section 4.3. ADC Circuit Function The following sections describe the function of individual circuits. Refer to the relevant data sheet for device operating characteristics. 2.2.1 ADC Operational Mode By default, the ADC is configured to operate in parallel-mode operation, because the surface-mount jumper asserts a 3.3-V state to the ADC reset pin.

www.ti.com Circuit Description For an ac-coupled system, users should use the voltage divider R9 and R18 to set the common-mode input of the amplifier, which should be set to the midpoint of the amplifier supply. C46 and C47 ac-couple the system, and the ADC inputs can then be biased by the R14 and R15 combination. Another ac-coupled approach, not supported on this EVM, would be to use a transformer at the outputs of the THS4509.
www.ti.com Circuit Description 2.2.4 ADC Clock Input Users should connect a filtered, low-phase-noise clock input to J12. A transformer, T5, provides the conversion from a single-ended clock signal into a differential clock signal. When selecting the clock signal level, users should account for the transformer having an impedance ratio of 4, with a voltage step-up of 2.

Consequently, the information in this section is generic in nature and is applicable to all high-speed, high-resolution ADC evaluations.
www.ti.com ADC Evaluation Coherent Input Frequency Selection Typical ADC analysis requires users to collect the resulting time-domain data and perform a Fourier transform to analyze the data in the frequency domain. A stipulation of the Fourier transform is that the signal must be continuous-time;...
www.ti.com Physical Description Physical Description This chapter describes the physical characteristics and PCB layout of the EVM. PCB Layout The EVM comprises six layers and is 62 mils thick. The EVM features a split ground plane, which can be shorted together under the ADC by using the two exposed gold-plated strips seen in Figure 8 to make a low-impedance connection between ground planes.
