DESCRIPTION

Demonstration circuit 1398 is an evaluation board featur-

ing Linear Technology Corporation’s LT 9001 16-bit

Receiver Subsystem. DC1398 demonstrates good circuit

layout techniques and recommended external circuitry

for optimal system performance.

DC1398 comes with Linear Technology’s 16-bit

LT 9001 amplifier/ADC subsystem installed. The board

includes a wideband input transformer (for evaluation

with a single-ended RF signal generator) and output

C OS buffers.

DC1398 plugs into the DC890 Data Ac-

quisition demo board and the output can be easily ana-

lyzed with Linear Technology’s PScope data processing

software, which is available for no charge on our website

at http://www.linear.com.

Design files for this circuit board are available. Call

the LTC factory.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Validating the performance of the LT 9001 is simple

with DC1398, and requires only an input source, a clock

source, a computer, and a lab power supply. Refer to

Figure 1 for proper board evaluation equipment setup

and follow the procedure below:

Connect the power supply as shown in Figure 1.

There are on-board low-noise voltage regulators that

provide the three supply voltages for the LT 9001.

The entire board and all components share a com-

mon ground. The power supply should still be a low-

noise lab power supply capable of supplying at least

1 Amp.

Provide an encode clock to the ADC via S A con-

nector J3. Use a low-phase-noise clock source such

as a filtered RF signal generator or a high-quality

clock oscillator.

Obtain DC1216 for a low-phase-

noise DC clock source that can plug directly into

DC1398.

NOTE.

Similar to having a noisy input, a high-jitter (phase noise)

encode clock will degrade the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the

system.

REFERENCE FUNCTION

J1 (AIN-) Differential Board Input.

Normally not con-

nected.

See text for differential

input evalu

tion methods.

J2 (AIN+) Board Signal Input. Impedance-matched to

Ω

for use with lab signal generators.

J3 (ENC) Board Clock Input. Impedance-matched to

Ω.

Drive with a low-phase-noise clock oscil-

lator or filtered sine wave signal source.

E1 (EXT REF) Reference input to adjust the full-scale range of

the LT 9001. Connects to the SENSE pin; by

default, tied to VDD for internal reference.

E2 (VS) DC Supply input (3.8 to 6VDC).

E3 (GND) DC ground.

JP1 (PGA_GAIN) Selects the input range of LT 9001. Default is

LOW (low PGA gain, larger input range)

JP2 (RAND) Output Randomizer. Default is NOR .

JP3 (ADC_SHDN) Enables the LT 9001 ADC. Default is NOR .

JP4 (DITH) ADC Internal Dither. Default is OFF.

JP5 (A P_EN) Enables the LT 9001 amplifier. Default is EN.

Apply an input signal to the board. DC1398 allows

great flexibility in applying input signals (see the sec-

tion on Applying Input Signals). For best results, use a

low distortion, low noise signal generator with suffi-

cient filtering to avoid degrading the performance of

the amplifier and ADC.

Observe the ADC output with demo circuit DC890, a

USB cable, a Windows computer, and Linear Tech-

nology’s Pscope data processing software.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Although the DC1398 demo board is ready to use on de-

livery, it has additional flexibility built in for various types

of input networks. Below is some information about con-

figuring DC1398 to meet the specific needs of your eval-

uation.

PPLYING INPUT SIGN LS

The input network consists of various components de-

signed to allow either single-ended or differential inputs,

AC-coupled or DC-coupled. Table 2 shows some possi-

ble input configurations, and which components to in-

stall. LT 9001 is designed for excellent performance

with both single-ended and differential input drive, with

little difference in distortion performance. When using

DC-coupled inputs, the inputs to DC1398 need to be lev-

el-shifted to within the input common-mode limits in the

datasheet.

NOTE.

When driving the ADC driver with a direct DC-coupled path, increased

input bias currents may occur due to the amplifier’s input impedance. See

the LT 9001 datasheet for more details.

OTHER BO RD CIRCUITRY

Device U5 is an EEPRO device that is used by the

PScope software to identify the board and apply the cor-

rect settings for the data collection.

USING PSCOPE SOFTW RE

PScope, downloadable from Linear Technology’s website

http://www.linear.com/, processes data from the DC890

FastDAACS board and displays FFT and signal analysis

information on the computer screen.

The on-board EEPRO U5 should enable automatic

board detection and auto-configuration of the software,

but if the user wishes to change the settings, they can

easily do so.

From the Configure menu in the toolbar, uncheck “Auto-

detect Device”. The default settings for DC1398 are

shown in Figure 2. The LT 9001 also has an output ran-

domizer, which the user needs to select if it is enabled on

the board. The software will automatically un-randomize

the output by performing an exclusive-OR with each bit

and the LSB.

Figure 2. Entering the correct device information for your DC. Select the correct parameters for the DC1398. Under normal conditions,

PSCOPE should automatically recognize the board and adjust the software settings accordingly.
