has a number of plug-in programs, so it can be expanded easily with new test and data collection plug-ins.

You control the ADS1675REF with a plug-in that runs in ADCPro. For more information about ADCPro,

see the ADCPro™ Analog-to-Digital Converter Evaluation Software User's Guide (literature number

SBAU128), available for download from the TI web site.

This manual covers the operation of both the ADS1675REF and the ADS1675REF Plug-in for ADCPro.

Throughout this document, the abbreviation REF and the term reference board are synonymous with the

ADS1675REF.

2.2 Introduction

The ADS1675REF is a 24-bit, ΔΣ analog-to-digital converter that operates from independent AVDD (+5V)

and DVDD (+3V) supplies. The analog input pre-amplifier THS4503 can be powered from +9V and -4V

supplies. The XEM3010 FPGA processor board can be supplied either with a +5V external wall adapter

power supply or with +5V (JP4) from the ADS1675REF board itself.

The maximum sample rate of the ADS1675 is 4MSPS. The maximum output clock speed is 96MHz.

The output interface can be configured as either CMOS or LVDS interface; the ADS1675REF works easily

with both interfaces.

There are two digital decimation filters built into the ADS1675 device. The first one is low-latency filter that

can reduce digital processing time, but only provide narrow signal bandwidth; this filter is best used for fast

digital processing applications. The second option is a wide-bandwidth digital filter that can provide a

much wider and flat signal bandwidth, but with slower processing time.

The ADS1675REF hardware platform consists of a two-board solution: one ADS1675REF printed circuit

board (PCB) plus one FPGA processor board (XEM3010). The ADS1675REF hardware uses a very

common FPGA Spartan-3, Micron 16-MByte (16-bit word-wide) synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) chip,

Cypress CY22393 PLL, and USB 2.0 microcontroller.

SBAU162A–December 2009–Revised September 2010 ADS1675REF

Power-Supply Requirements

www.ti.com

The SDRAM controller code is preloaded within the FPGA. The ADCPro software works with the USB 2.0

driver in the ADS1675REF environment, so that 8M, 24-bit sampled ADC data can be captured and saved

in the SDRAM per single acquisition in order to allow the FPGA processor to do post-data processing or

transfer the test data continually through the FPGA, SDRAM, and USB interface into a PC processor for

further data processing.

The Cypress CY22393 PLL can provide up to five clocks. The ADS1675REF platform uses one 48MHz

clock for the USB microcontroller, one 64MHz clock for the SDRAM chip, one 64MHz clock for the FPGA

processor, and one 32MHz clock for the ADS1675 device.

The ADS1675REF supports fast response mode for both the wide-bandwidth and low-latency filter paths,

as well as an internal shift clock (SCLK) mode for LVDS and CMOS digital output interfaces.

3 Power-Supply Requirements

WARNING

The Opal Kelly XEM3010 board can only accept a maximum 5V

power supply. When the 5V external wall adaptor is applied,

remove JP4. (See Table 1 for additional details.)

The factory configuration of the board is for the analog input driver THS4503 with +9V and –4V supplies

and a shared +5V supply for analog and digital REF board circuitry sections as well as the XEM3010

board. For the best total harmonic distortion (THD) performance, the user can provide independent digital

+5V to +5VD, +3.0V to 3.3VD, and wall adaptor +5V to P1 on the XEM3010 board. All power to the board

is recommend to be sourced from a well-regulated linear supply that has current-limiting capabilities; for

example, a 40mA limit for +9V and –4V, and 400mA limit for +VA.

Power must be supplied through jumpers J2, J4, J5, and J9 (top side of the REF board) and port P1 on

the XEM3010 board. Table 1 shows the recommended power-supply input configuration.

Table 1. Recommended Power-Supply Inputs

Signal Name Connector Number Description

+5VA J5-1 J5-2 Analog +5V supply

+VCC J4-1 J4-2 Analog input driver +9V supply

–VCC J4-3 J4-2 Analog input driver –4V supply

+5VD (optional for the best

performance; remove R39 when using J9-1 J9-2 Digital +5V supply

+5VD)

+3.3VD (optional for the best

performance; remove JP2 when J2-1 J2-2 Digital +3.0V supply

applying +3.0V)

+5V (optional for the best performance;

remove JP4 when applying a +5V wall P1-1 P1-2 XEM3010 board +5V wall adaptor supply

adaptor to the XEM3010)

For standalone operation, the power sources can be applied via various test points located on the REF

board. Refer to the schematic (located at the end of this document) for additional details.

3.1 Analog Input Driver +9V and –4V Supplies

The ADS1675REF analog input driver is a THS4503 (U3), a wideband, fully-differential amplifier, to drive

the differential inputs of the ADS1675 (U4) . This device was selected because of its wide bandwidth

(370MHz) and low harmonic distortion. It is pre-configured at the factory for +9V and –4V analog

operation. The THS4503 can tolerate maximum power supplies of ±7.5VDC. Care must be taken to ensure

the user-supplied 15VDC limit is not exceeded, or potential damage to the op amps under the test circuits

can occur. The +9V and –4V voltages are to be applied to J4 pins +VCC and –VCC referenced to GND.

Analog Interface

3.2 Analog +5V Supply

The ADS1675REF board requires an independent analog +5V supply to power the analog portion of the

device under test, the external reference, and the external reference buffer, as well as provide the

amplifier common-mode voltage. This voltage is applied to J5 pin 3 and is denoted as +5VA. This supply

can be monitored at TP7.

3.3 Digital +5V Supply

For the best THD performance, the ADS1675 requires an independent digital +5V supply to power the

clock portion of the device under test. This voltage is applied to J9 pin 3 and is denoted as +5VD. This

supply can be monitored at TP3. For a quick function test, the digital +5VD can be shared with the analog

+5VA on this REF board. R39 is a short circuit that supplies both the analog and digital 5V to the ADS1675

device.

3.4 Digital +3.0V Supply

For the best THD performance, the ADS1675 also requires an independent digital +3.0V supply to power

the digital portion of the device under test. This voltage is applied to J2 pin 3 and is denoted as +3.3VD.

This supply can be monitored at TP5. For a quick function test, the digital +3.0V can be fed back from the

3.3V regulator on the XEM3010 board and connected by jumper JP2 on the REF.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to remove the shunt jumpers from JP2 and JP4. This

configuration requires the user to supply an independent 3.0V digital supply to the ADS1675 at J2. The

user must also provide separate power to the XEM3010 at P1; refer to the Opal Kelly website for specific

details about configuring the XEM3010 board.

3.5 XEM3010 Board +5V Supply

To obtain the best THD performance, the ADS1675 requires an independent +5V supply to power the

XEM3010 board. This voltage is applied to P1 on the XEM3010 from an external wall adapter power

supply. For a quick function test, the +5V can be shared with the digital +5VD on the ADS1675REF by

jumper JP4.

4 Analog Interface

The analog circuit of the board is divided into four parts. The first part is the analog input buffer or

front-end circuit of the ADC. Its function is to provide optional gain and impedance matching of the input

signal. The second part of the analog circuit is the analog power supplies for both the high voltage rails on

the ADC and the input buffer. The final sections of the analog input include the basic analog functions of

the ADS1675 and the optional external reference circuit. Each of these sections is described below.

The analog inputs to the ADS1675REF board can be applied to J1 and J3 of the input differential

connectors. The range of the analog input depends on the range setting of the ADS1675 and THS4503.

The analog input to the ADS1675REF board consists of the THS4503 operational amplifier. The THS4503

is powered from a user-provided, 9V and –4V analog supply. The amplifier is used as true differential

driver. When the analog supply is 5V, the ADS1675 analog difference input common-mode voltage is

2.5V. This configuration requires the output of the THS4503 amplifier common-mode voltage to be set as

2.5V. The common-mode voltage to the THS4503 is set by the onboard REF5025 (U1), which sets this

voltage at 2.5V.

Digital Interface

To maximize the dynamic range of the THS4503 and reduce the THD impact from this amplifier, +9V and

–4V are used for this THS4503. This configuration gives a maximum ±6.5V swing range. Figure 1

illustrates the typical analog input section of the ADS1675REF.

Figure 1. ADS1675REF Schematic: Typical Analog Input Section

5 Digital Interface

The ADS1675REF is designed for easy interfacing with the USB2.0 interface for use with the XEM3010

board. The ADS1675REF kit also provides ADCPro software so that the user can configure the ADS1675

and read out the captured data through the USB interface on the XEM3010 board.

6 Reference Voltage

The ADS1675REF provides a 3.0V reference source via a REF5030 (U2) and OPA211A (U5) to provide a

high-quality reference voltage for ADS1675. The REF5030 (U2) generates the 3.0V reference signal. The

output of the REF5030 is heavily filtered to remove noise. The onboard OPA211 (U5) again filters and

buffers the reference signal so that the reference signal noise to the ADS1675 is less than the noise

generated by the converter itself. The OPA211 is a low-noise, unity-gain stable amplifier that provides a

reliable current source for the ADS1675 reference input. The OPA211 and output decoupling capacitors

work together to settle the VREFP (ADS1675) reference input voltage to within ±1/2 LSB, every 50ns. This

board uses a 10mF ceramic capacitor with a 0.1mF ceramic capacitor directly across the reference inputs,

VREFP and VREFN. Note that the 10mF and 0.1mF capacitors are placed as close to the ADS1675

reference pins as possible. These capacitors further reduce noise that is common to both inputs. The

ADS1675 VREFN pin goes to ground.
