DEFAULT OPERATION AND JUMPER SELECTION
SETTINGS
This section explains the default and optional settings or modes
allowed on the
AD9286
evaluation board.
Power Circuitry
Connect the switching power supply that is supplied in the
evaluation kit between a rated 100 V ac to 240 V ac wall outlet
at 47 Hz to 63 Hz and J101.
Analog Input
The analog input on the evaluation board default configuration
uses a single transformer input with a 50 Ω impedance. The
default analog input configuration supports analog input fre-
quencies of up to ~200 MHz. This input network is optimized
to support a wide frequency band.
An alternate analog input configuration uses a single
ADA4937-1 ultralow distortion amplifier, which drives both
VIN1 and VIN2. Special attention has been paid to provide a
symmetrical layout between the two differential inputs to
realize best performance. To configure the analog input
circuitry, see Table 1.
The nominal input drive level is 10.5 dBm to achieve 1.2 V p-p full
scale into 50 Ω. At higher input frequencies, slightly higher input
drive levels are required due to losses in the front-end network.
VREF
The
AD9286
operates with a fixed 1.0 V reference. This sets the
analog input span to 1.2 V p-p.
RBIAS
RBIAS has a default setting of 10 kΩ (R206) to ground and is
used to set the ADC core bias current. Note that using a resistor
value other than a 10 kΩ, 1% resistor for RBIAS may degrade
the performance of the device.

Clock Circuitry
The default clock input circuit on the
board uses a simple transformer-coupled circuit using a high
bandwidth 1:1 impedance ratio transformer (T501) that adds a
very low amount of jitter to the clock path. The clock input is
50 Ω terminated and ac-coupled to handle single-ended sine wave
types of inputs. The transformer converts the single-ended input to
a differential signal that is clipped by CR501 before entering the
ADC clock inputs. The
AD9286
distribute a single clock to each interleaved ADC channel.
Alternatively, the
AD9286
evaluation board supports driving
each internal ADC core with its own separate half speed clock.
This is useful in applications where the user wants to externally
control the clock timing per channel. To enable separate
clocking, write a value 0 to SPI Address 0x09 and place a
jumper across J204 to tie AUXCLKEN to DRVDD.
Non-SPI Mode
For users who want to operate the DUT without using SPI,
remove the shorting jumpers on J302. This disconnects the
CSB, SCLK, and SDIO/PWDN pins from the SPI control bus,
allowing the DUT to operate in non-SPI mode. In this mode,
the SDIO/PWDN pin takes on an alternate function to enable
power-down functionality.
To enable the power-down feature, add a shorting jumper across
J202 at Pin 2 and Pin 3 to connect the SDIO/PDWN pin to
DRVDD.
