User's Guide SLAU206B – September 2007 – Revised April 2008 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 www.ti.com Circuit Description Schematic Diagram The schematic diagram for the EVM is in Section 6.3. 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.

TI ADC SPI Control Interface www.ti.com 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.
TI ADC SPI Control Interface 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.

Connecting to FPGA Platforms 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 TSW1100 capture board to the ADS61xx/ADS61B23 EVM.
ADC Evaluation www.ti.com 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.
ADC Evaluation 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;...
Physical Description www.ti.com 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 Figure 6.
