procedure.

Table 2. Troubleshooting Tips

Issue Troubleshooting Tips

General problems

Verify the test setup shown in Figure 2, and repeat the setup procedure

as described in this document.

Check power supplies to the EVM and TSW14J56EVM. Verify that the

power switches are in the ON position.

Check signal and clock connections to the EVM.

Check that all boards are properly connected together.

Try pressing the CPU_RESET button on the TSW14J56EVM.

Try power-cycling the external power supply to the EVM and reprogram

the LMK and ADC devices.

TSW14J56 LEDs are incorrect:

D1, D5 – N/A

D2, D4 – Flashing

D3, D6, D7 – OFF

D8, D28 – ON

Verify the settings of the configuration switches on the TSW14J56EVM.

Verify that the EVM configuration GUI is communicating with the USB,

and that the configuration procedure was followed.

LEDs not flashing – reprogram the LMK device.

Try pressing the CPU_RESET button on the TSW14J56EVM.

Try capturing data in HSDC Pro to force an LED status update.

Device GUI is not working properly.

Verify that the USB cable is plugged into the EVM and the PC.

Check the Device Manager of the computer, and verify that a USB Serial

Device is recognized when the EVM is connected to the PC.

Verify that the green USB Status LED light in the top-right corner of the

GUI is lit. If the LED is not lit, press the Reconnect FTDI button.

Try restarting the configuration GUI.

Check default jumper connections as shown in Appendix A.

HSDC Pro Software is not capturing good data or

analysis results are incorrect.

Verify that the TSW14J56EVM is properly connected to the PC with a

mini-USB cable, and that the board serial number is properly identified by

the HSDC Pro software.

Check that the proper ADC device is selected. In default conditions,

ADS54J64_LMF_4841_mode01 must be selected.

Check that the analysis parameters are properly configured.

HSDC Pro Software gives a time-out error when

capturing data. Try to reprogram the LMK device and reset the JESD204 Link.

Verify that the ADC sampling rate is correct in the HSDC Pro software.

Sub-optimal measured performance

Try pressing the Calibrate ADC button on the INTRO tab, to repeat the

configuration GUI procedure for programming the EVM

Check that the spectral analysis parameters are properly configured.

Verify that bandpass filters are used in the clock and input signal paths,

and that low-noise signal sources are used.

3 Optimizing Evaluation Results

This section is meant to assist users in optimizing performance during evaluation of the product.

3.1 ADS54J64 Operating Mode

The ADS54J64 device may operate in eight different modes: Mode 0 through Mode 8 (excluding Mode 5).

Each mode may require a different device selection in HSDC Pro, device configuration script in the

ADS54J64 EVM GUI, and different sampling rate setup in HSDC Pro to operate correctly.

Table 3 shows the HSDC Pro sampling rate setup. The desired mode is selected from the ADS54J64EVM

GUI →Mode tab in the configuration GUI.

(1) The ADC Sampling Rate used in HSDC Pro for Mode 7 depends on the .ini file used. The example shown here applies to

selecting ‘ADS54J64_LMF_4421_mode7’ which strips the buffered 0s from the data stream.

For operating in a mode other that Mode 0, follow the default start-up procedure, and then perform the

following:

1. From the ADS54J64 Mode tab in the configuration GUI, select the desired mode.

2. When selecting the device in HSDC Pro (), choose the device and enter the ADC Output Data Rate as

reported by the configuration GUI on the ADS54J64 Mode tab.
