Related Documentation From Texas Instruments The following documents provide information regarding Texas Instrument inte- grated circuits used in the assembly of the AFEDRI8201EVM. These docu- ments are available from the TI web site. The last character of the literature number corresponds to the document revision, which is current at the time of the writing of this user’s guide.
AFEDRI8201EVM The AFEDRI8201EVM is designed to assist with evaluating the performance of the AFEDRI8201 analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with digital downconverter. Topic Page Overview ............
(EVM), and provides a general description of the feature and functions to be considered while using this module. Purpose The AFEDRI8201EVM is a platform for evaluating the AFEDRI8201 ADC with digital downconverter under various signal, reference, and supply conditions. This document should be used in combination with the EVM schematic diagrams (see Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4) and the supplied USB interface drive software.
Operational Procedure Operational Procedure The AFEDRI8201EVM provides a flexible means of evaluating the AFE- DRI8201 in a number of modes of operation. The following basic setup proce- dure can be used as a board confidence check. 1) Verify all jumper settings against the jumper lists in Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3.
Circuit Description Circuit Description The schematic diagrams for the EVM are located at the end of this document (see Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4). Analog Inputs The EVM can be configured to provide the AFE with transformer-coupled in- puts from a single-ended source.
PC. The PC should begin the driver installation. When asked for the correct location of the USB drivers (such as ftd2xx.inf), specify the location of the unzipped AFEDRI8201EVM Hardware Driver folder. 6) Once the drivers are finished loading, the evaluation board and software are now installed.

Phase offset is in degrees and is also a floating point value. c) Each time you type data into a field, you must hit Enter for the new value to be activated. The AFEDRI8201EVM is updated as soon as the field is updated.
Physical Description Physical Description This section describes the physical characteristics and printed circuit board (PCB) layout of the EVM and lists the components used on the module. Schematic, PCB Layout, and Bill of Materials The schematic diagrams are shown in Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4. The EVM is constructed on a 4-layer PCB using FR-4 material.
