1 Introduction

The LM97937EVM is an evaluation board used to evaluate the LM97937 analog-to-digital converter (ADC)

from TI. The LM97937 device is a dual-channel, 9-bit ADC with SNRBoost and Bit-Burst signal processing

capable of operating at sampling rates up to 370 Mega samples per second (MSPS). The LM97937

device output data is transmitted over a standard JESD204B high-speed serial interface.

This evaluation board also includes the following important features:

• Transformer-coupled signal input network allowing a single-ended signal source from 5 MHz to 1 GHz

• LMK04828 system clock generator that generates FPGA reference clocks for the high-speed serial

interface and may be used to generate the ADC sampling clock

• Transformer-coupled clock input network to test the ADC performance with a very low-noise clock

source

• High-speed serial data output over a standard FMC interface connector

• Device register programming via USB connector and FTDI USB-to-SPI bus translator

The digital data from the LM97937EVM board can be 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, then uploads it to a connected PC through a USB interface for analysis. The High

Speed Data Converter Pro (HSDC Pro) software on the PC communicates with the hardware and

processes the data.

With proper hardware selection in the HSDC Pro software, the TSW14J56 device is automatically

configured to support a wide range of operating speeds of the LM97937EVM, but it may not cover the full

operating range of the ADC device. Serial data rates (and corresponding sampling rates) of 7.4 Gb/s (370

MSPS) down to 1.6 Gb/s (80 MSPS) are supported.

For the rest of this document, the LM97937EVM evaluation board is referred to as EVM and the LM97937

device is referred to as ADC device.

3 Setup Procedure

Figure 2. EVM Test Setup

NOTE: The HSDP software must be installed before connecting the TSW14J56EVM to the PC for

the first time.

3.1 Install the High Speed Data Converter Pro (HSDP) Software

Download the most recent version of the HSDP software from www.ti.com/tool/dataconverterpro-sw.

Follow the installation instructions to install the software.

3.2 Install the Configuration GUI Software

1. Download the Configuration GUI software from the EVM product page at www.ti.com.

2. Extract files from the zip file.

3. Run “setup.exe” and follow the instructions.

3.3 Connect the EVM and TSW14J56EVM

Setup Procedure

3.4 Connect the Power Supplies to the Boards (Power Off)

1. Confirm that the power switch on the TSW14J56EVM is in the off position. Connect the +5-V power

supply adapter to the TSW14J56EVM.

2. Confirm that the +4-V power supply for the EVM is turned off. Connect the +4-V power supply to the

green power connector (closest to the USB connector).

CAUTION

Do not turn on the power to any board. Powering up the boards in the incorrect

order could potentially cause damage to one of the boards.

3.5 Connect the Signal Generators to the EVM (RF Signal Off)

1. Connect a signal generator to the CLK input of the EVM through a bandpass filter. This must be a low-

noise signal generator. TI recommends a Trilithic™ tunable bandpass filter to filter the signal coming

from the generator. Configure the signal generator for 370 MHz. When using an RF signal generator,

the power input to the CLK SMA connector should be +11 dBm (2.2 Vpp into 50 Ω) for best

performance and must be at least +4 dBm to function. Therefore, the signal generator should be

increased above +11 dB by an amount equal to any additional attenuation in the clock signal path,

such as the insertion loss of the bandpass filter. For example, if the filter insertion loss is 2 dB, the

signal generator should be set to +11 dBm + 2 dB = +13 dBm.

2. Connect a signal generator to the VINA+ input of the EVM 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. Configure the signal generator for 70 MHz, +0

dBm.

3. It is important to frequency lock the input signal generator to the clock signal generator using the 10-

MHz reference. This is required to achieve coherent sampling of the input signal and is recommended,

if possible. Frequency locking this signal generator is not required for non-coherent sampling.

NOTE: Do not turn on the RF output of any signal generator.

3.6 Turn the TSW14J56EVM Power on and Connect to the PC

1. Turn the power switch of the TSW14J56EVM on.

2. Connect a mini-USB cable from the PC to the TSW14J56EVM.

3. If this is the first time connecting the TSW14J56EVM to the PC, then follow the on-screen instructions

to automatically install the device drivers. See the TSW14J56EVM User’s Guide for more specific

instructions.

3.7 Turn the EVM Power Supplies on and Connect to the PC

1. Turn the +4-V power supply on to power up the EVM.

2. Connect the EVM to the PC with the mini-USB cable.

3.8 Turn the Signal Generator RF Outputs on

Turn on the RF signal outputs of the signal generators connector to CLK and VINA+.

3.9 Open the HSDP Software and Load the FPGA Image to the TSW14J56EVM

1. Open the HSDP software.

2. Press OK to confirm the serial number of the TSW14J56EVM device.

3. Select the ‘LM97937EVM_222’ device from the ADC select drop-down in the top left corner and press

'Yes' to update the firmware.

Setup Procedure

www.ti.com

NOTE: If the user configures the EVM with options other than the default register values, different

instructions may be required for selecting the device in HSDC Pro. See the Appendix A for

more details.

4. Enter the ADC sampling rate (Fs) as 370M or the desired sampling rate. This number should be equal

to the actual sampling rate of the device and must be updated if the sampling rate changes.

3.10 Program the LMK04828 Using the Configuration Tab on the HSDC Pro Software

1. Note that selecting the EVM in the ADC select drop-down menu made an additional tab appear in

HSDC Pro. Select the tab in the HSDC Pro software and navigate to the ‘Clock Dist’ sub-tab.

2. Press the ‘Configuration 1’ button. Verify that pressing the button changes the state of the LEDs on the

translation card, or that it changes the current draw from the +4-V power supply.

3.11 Calibrate the ADC Device on the EVM

1. With the FTDI SPI GUI open on the PC, navigate to the ‘Intro’ tab.

2. Set the sampling rate selection switch to appropriately indicate the desired sampling rate.

3. Press the calibrate button to calibrate the ADC.

NOTE: This calibrate button executes a calibration sequence that is required for full performance.

This calibration should be performed at power-up, any time the sampling rate changes, or

after exiting the power-down mode. See the device data sheet, SNVS990, for details

regarding the necessary calibration sequence.

3.12 Verify the TSW14J56EVM Switch Settings, Initialize the JESD204B Link

(CPU_RESET), and Verify TSW14J56EVM Status LEDs

1. Observe the switches and jumpers on the TSW14J56EVM and verify that they are in the correct

position. The required switch settings are shown in Table 4.

2. Press the CPU_RESET button (SW7) on the TSW14J56EVM. This button is used to reset the

JESD204B receiver core in the receiving FPGA and should be pressed after power-up, after changing

the test setup, or after changing particular device configuration registers.

3. Verify the status of the D1 to D8 LEDs on the TSW14J56EVM. See the Appendix A for more

information regarding the status LEDs.

DC noise and offset) or the fundamental (eliminate phase noise from signal generators).

• Open the ‘Capture Option’ dialog from the 'Data Capture Options' file menu to change the capture

depth or to enable FFT averaging.

• For analyzing only a portion of the spectrum, use the ‘Single Tone’ test with the ‘Bandwidth Integration

Markers’ from the ‘Test Options’ file menu. The ‘Channel Power’ test may also be useful.

• For analyzing only a subset of the captured data, set the ‘Analysis Window (samples)’ setting to a

value less than the number total samples captured and move the green or red markers in the small

transient data window at the top of the screen to select the data subset of interest.
