1 Overview
The ADC32RF5xEVM is an evaluation module (EVM) designed to evaluate the ADC32RF5x family of high-
speed, JESD204B interface ADCs. The EVM includes an onboard clocking solution (LMK04832), transformer-
coupled analog inputs, full power solution, and easy-to-use software GUI and USB interface. The following
features apply to this EVM:

2 Quick Start Guide
The EVM test procedure to obtain a valid data capture from the ADC32RF5xEVM using the TSW14J58EVM
data capture board is provided in this section. This is the starting point for all evaluations.
2.1 Introduction
The ADC32RF5xEVM includes the ADC32RF5x analog-to-digital converter with JESD204B interface, LMK04832
clocking chip, and an FMC connector suitable for connection to readily-available FPGA development boards or
to the TSW14J58EVM data capture board.
The FPGA on the capture card requires a device clock and SYSREF signal, the LMK04832 clock device
supplies these signals to the FMC connector for that purpose, as well as supplying SYSREF to the ADC.
This document conveys all information needed to bring up both the ADC32RF5xEVM and TSW14J58EVM data
capture board, and get a valid data capture with good FFT results.
The JESD204B interface requires a number of important parameters to be decided in advance of setting up
the data link, such as; number of lanes, number of converters, number of samples per frame, and a value K
number of frames per multi-frame, among other parameters. Both sides of a JESD204B link must be set up with
the same values for all these parameters, or else the FPGA that receives the data is not able to establish a
synchronized link.
Note
Getting these parameters inconsistent between ADC and FPGA is perhaps the biggest single reason
for an EVM setup to not function as expected.
The GUI installers that come with the ADC32RF5x and the TSW14J58EVM come with configuration files that
are meant to enable quick initial setup of a number of basic configurations. TI strongly suggests setting up the
EVM and data capture board with a configuration described in this document and getting a working setup before
modifying the configuration to be closer to what the end-application requires. In this way, the user can know that
the hardware is functioning and that there is a working configuration that they can go back to in the event of
difficulty developing their own configuration.
This document introduces the software that must be installed on a PC, and presents a basic setup for the
Bypass and DDC modes available in the ADC32RF5xEVM. The operating modes explained in this document
are:
•Bypass Mode
–2x Averaging
•DDC (Decimation)
–8x complex decimation
–128x complex decimation
2.2 Software Setup
The proper software must be installed before beginning evaluation. See Required Software for a list of
the required software. To avoid potential issues, the software should be installed before connecting the
ADC32RF5xEVM and TSW14J58EVM to the computer for the first time. Appendix A.1 contains links to find
the software on the TI website.

3 Quick Start Procedure for Bypass Mode
Bypass mode is the default operating mode for the ADC32RF5x device family. When operating in this mode, the
digital decimation filters that the ADC32RF5x offers is bypassed. Additionally, the user has the option to enable
averaging of each internal pair of ADCs per individual channel. Operating in bypass mode without averaging
provides the lowest power consumption for ADC32RF5x devices.
TSW14J58EVM
1. Connect the ADC32RF5xEVM to the TSW14J58EVM using the FMC connectors.
2. Connect a 6V, 5A minimum power supply to connector J2.
3. Connect a USB 2.0 TypeA to Mini-B cable to connector J23.
4. Connect a USB 3.0 TypeA to Micro-B cable to connector J1.
5. Turn on the power supply and toggle the power switch (SW5) to the "ON" position. The fan should start
spinning and the current draw should settle around 2.1 A.
ADC32RF5xEVM
1. Connect a 12 V , 2 A minimum power supply to the connector J11.
2. Connect a USB 2.0 TypeA to Mini-B cable to connector J12.
3. Connect a filtered 2.56 GHz clock signal (+10 dBm) to input J1 (EXTCLK), then enable the signal generator
output.
4. Connect a filtered 300 MHz input signal (+10 dBm) to input J3 (INA1), then enable the signal generator
output.
GUI Setup
1. Open High Speed Data Converter Pro (HSDC Pro) and select the TSW14J58. If no device is found, verify
that power is on and both USB cables are connected.
2. Select the device firmware labeled ADC32RF5x_8224_12G-16G and update the firmware by pressing Yes
on the pop-up window and waiting for the Downloading Firmware message to finish.
3. Enter 2.56 G into the ADC Output Data Rate field. A message will appear stating "New lane rate is 12.8G
due to ADC Output Data Rate change". When this appears, press OK.
4. Enter 300 M into the ADC Input Target Frequency field and tick the checkbox "Auto Calculation of Coherent
Frequencies". You will notice that the 300M changes to 300.039 M.
5. Open the ADC32RF5x GUI. Verify that the green USB Status indicator is illuminated as shown in Figure
3-1 below. If the indicator is red (simulation mode), verify that the USB cable is connected and that the
ADC32RF5xEVM is powered on and press the Reconnect USB button.

3.1 2x Averaging in Bypass Mode
This mode uses internal averaging to provide better performance at the tradeoff of higher power consumption.
Procedure
1. In the bypass mode box of the GUI, ensure that the settings match those shown in Figure 3-2

2. Once these settings are verified, press the Device Bringup button.
3. Wait until after the message Device Bringup Completed appears in the Log.
4. Under the Analog and Clock tab, toggle Dither Enable to the off position.
5. In HSDC Pro, press the Capture button. You should now see something similar to Figure 3-3.
6. Adjust signal generator output such that the measured fundamental power in HSDC Pro is at the user's
desired level. (shown below is -12 dBFs)

4 Quick Start Procedure for Complex Decimation Mode
The ADC32RF5x device family provides up to two digital down converters (DDC) per ADC channel supporting a
wide range of instantaneous bandwidth IBW coverage - from single wide band mode with 8x complex decimation
to up to two narrow band channels with as high as 128x complex decimation.
When operating in complex decimation mode, the appropriate NCO is used as an intermediate frequency to
the complex mixer. Similar to the bypass operating mode, the user has the option to enable averaging of each
internal pair of ADCs. This section will provide two example configurations for operating the ADC32RF5xEVM in
8x and 128x decimation modes.
4.1 8x Complex Decimation
This example uses a coherent 790 MHz input on the channel A input with the ADC in a 1x averaging mode with
dither enabled.
Procedure
1. In the Bypass Mode box, use the DDC dropdown to change to Complex Mode. The usser will notice the
box title changes to Complex Mode to reflect the current DDC operating mode.
2. Use the Decimation dropdown to change the decimation to 8.
3. Set the LMFSHd setting to 4-4-2-1-0.
4. Set the channel INA1 NCO0 and NCO1 to 800 (MHz).
5. Change LMK divider from 8 to 16.
6. Once these settings are verified and match Figure 4-1, press the Device Bringup button.

12. Once completed, press OK.
13. Check the tickbox labeled Auto Calculation of Coherent Frequencies and you will see the ADC Input
Target Frequency change from 790 M to the coherent frequency. Set the signal generator connected to
channel A input to this coherent frequency.
