SLAU560 – August 2014 Introduction The ADC12J2700EVM and ADC12J1600EVM is an evaluation board used to evaluate the ADC12J2700 and ADC12J1600 analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Texas Instruments. The ADC12J2700 and ADC12J1600 device is a single-channel, 12-bit ADC capable of operating at sampling rates up to 4 Giga- samples per second (GSPS).

The digital data from the ADC12J2700EVM and ADC12J1600EVM board is quickly and easily captured with the TSW14J56EVM data capture board. The TSW14J56EVM captures the high-speed serial data, decodes the data, stores the data in memory, and then uploads it to a connected PC through a USB interface for analysis.

• Signal-path cables, SMA or BNC (or both SMA and BNC) By default, the ADC12J2700EVM and ADC12J1600EVM have an onboard clocking solution. A few small board modifications enable external clocking. If external clocking is used, the following equipment is recommended.
Connect the Signal Generators to the EVM (RF Signal Off) 1. Connect a signal generator to the VIN input of the ADC12J2700EVM and ADC12J1600EVM through a bandpass filter and attenuator at the SMA connector. This must be a low-noise signal generator. TI recommends a Trilithic-tunable bandpass filter to filter the signal from the generator.
Turn on the RF signal output of the signal generator connected to VIN. If external clocking is used, turn on the RF signal outputs connected to DEVCLK and LMKCLK. Open the ADC12J2700EVM and ADC12J1600EVM GUI and Program the ADC and Clocks The Device Configuration GUI must be installed separately from the HSDC Pro installation and as a stand-alone GUI.
Open the ADC12J2700EVM and ADC12J1600EVM GUI and Program the ADC and Clocks www.ti.com Figure 3-2. Configuration GUI EVM Tab Figure 3-2 Figure 3-4 show the GUI open to the EVM tab and Control tab respectively. Tabs at the top of the panel organize the configuration into device and EVM features with user-friendly controls and a low-level tab for directly configuring the registers.
• Use the free FT_PROG software from FTDI chip and verify that the on-board FTDI chip is able to connect to the EVM programmed with the product description ADC12J2700EVM and ADC12J1600EVM. • Verify that the TSW14J56EVM is properly connected to the PC with a mini-USB cable and that HSDC Pro software is not the board serial number is properly identified by the HSDC software.
