Overview This user's guide gives a general overview of the evaluation module (EVM) and provides a general description of the features and functions to be considered while using this module. This manual is applicable to the ADS6122, ADS6123, ADS6124, ADS6125, ADS6142, ADS6143, ADS6144, ADS6145, and ADS61B23, which collectively are referred to as ADS61xx and ADS61B23.
Circuit Description Circuit Description Schematic Diagram The schematic diagram for the EVM is in ADC Circuit Function The following sections describe the function of individual circuits. See 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 jumper (J3) asserts a 3.3-V state to the ADC reset pin.

www.ti.com Note that the THS4509 used on this EVM is pinout compatible with the THS4508, THS4511, THS4513, and THS4520. Users can easily interchange the amplifier on this EVM and pick the appropriate amplifier based on common-mode range, power supplies, and frequency of operation. Contact your local Texas Instruments (TI) sales representative for assistance in selection of these amplifiers.
Circuit Description J4 PIN 2.2.6 Jumper Selections The EVM features several jumpers whose functions are described in surface-mount jumpers in cases where either the signal integrity is important or the functions are rarely used. Table 3 summarizes these options. Table 1. Breakout Board Pin Assignments ADS6122/23/B23/24/25 ADS6142/43/44/45 DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION...

TI ADC SPI Control Interface TI ADC SPI Control Interface This section describes the software features accompanying the EVM kit. The TI ADC SPI control software provides full control of the SPI interface, allowing users to write to any of the ADC registers found in the ADC data sheet.
www.ti.com Setting Up the EVM for ADC SPI Control Users who wish to use the ADC SPI interface must supply 5 VDC to J20, which provides power to the USB circuit. By default, the EVM comes with the ADC configured in parallel mode. In order to use the SPI interface to control the ADC modes of operation, users must move several jumpers.

www.ti.com Connecting to FPGA Platforms The ADS61xx/ADS61B23 EVM provides several connection options to mate the EVM to various FPGA development platforms and FPGA-based capture boards. TSW1100 Using the accompanying CMOS breakout board, users can easily mate TI's the ADS61xx/ADS61B23 EVM. Simply connect the breakout board to the J2 (Channel 2) connector on the TSW1100.
ADC Evaluation ADC Evaluation This section describes how to set up a typical ADC evaluation system that is similar to what TI uses to perform testing for data-sheet generation. Consequently, the information in this section is generic in nature and is applicable to all high-speed, high-resolution ADC evaluations. This section covers signal tone analysis, which yields ADC data-sheet figures of merit such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spurious free dynamic range (SFDR).
www.ti.com 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; however, this is impractical when looking at a finite set of ADC samples, usually collected from a logic analyzer.
Physical Description Physical Description This section describes the physical characteristics and PCB layout of the EVM. PCB Layout The EVM is constructed on a four-layer, 0.062-inch thick PCB using FR-4 material. The individual layers are shown in Figure 2 through performance can be obtained with careful layout using a common ground plane.
