ADS42B4x EVM

This is the user’s guide for the ADS42B4x EVM (Revision A). The ADS42B49 (dual-channel, 14-bit, up to

250 MSPS) is a dual analog-to-digital converter family. This EVM is specifically suited for interfacing with

TI’s TSW1400 EVM to capture and display waveforms from the ADC. The EVM schematic, Bill of

Materials (BOM), and layout files are found in the design package in the ADS42B4x EVM product folder

on www.ti.com.

Basic Test Procedure

2.4 TSW1400 Quick Start Operation

Reference the TSW1400 User’s Guide for more detailed explanation of the TSW1400 set-up and

operation. This document assumes that High Speed Data Converter Pro (HSDCPro) is installed and

functioning properly. The front panel of HSDCPro is shown in Figure 4. The following configuration needs

to be changed from the default settings. Note that HSDCPro version 3.1 or newer is required to properly

run the ADS42B4x EVM.

• Select the ADS42B4x device name from the TI ADC Selection pull-down menu

• Select Single Tone for FFT from the Test pull-down menu

• Select the desired channel (that is, Channel A or B) from the Channel Display pull-down menu

• Check the box for Auto Calculation of Coherent Frequencies.

• Change the ADC sampling rate to the desired value (that is, 250 MHz)

• Change the input frequency to desired value (that is, 170 MHz or other)

• Verify status display in the lower left has no errors

• Press the Capture button to initiate a data capture. The ADS42B4x EVM must be configured before a

capture can be made.

2.5 ADS42B4x Test Procedure

• Switch on the 5-V power supply for the EVM.

• Connect clock signal at J19 through an appropriate bandpass filter.

– Set the signal generator to 10 dBm and 250 MHz.

– Use a high-quality, low phase-noise generator for this input to ensure proper device evaluation.

– A tight bandpass filter is required to achieve optimal performance.

• Connect the input signal through an appropriate bandpass filter at either J6 or J3 (Channel A or B).

– Adjust the frequency of the generator to match the coherent frequency displayed in HSDCPro.

– Select the proper Display Channel in HSDCPro, corresponding to the input connection.

– Use a high-quality, low phase-noise generator for this input to ensure proper device evaluation.

– A tight bandpass filter is required to achieve optimal performance.

• Open the ADS42B4x GUI by going to the Start Menu and finding ADS42B4x GUI in the Texas

Instruments folder.

– Press the Reset button.

– Press the Data Format button to choose "Offset Bin"

– Turn on HP[1:11] to enable the high performance modes.

– Click Send All, see Figure 5.

• Initiate a capture by pressing the Capture button in HSDCPro.

3 Optional Configurations

3.1 THS4509 Input Op-Amp Configuration

The default analog input configuration is transformer coupling through T1 and T2 for channel A, and T3

and T4 for channel B. The optional configuration for analog input is through an Op-Amp THS4509. The

changes required to modify the transformer coupled input to the OPA-driven input are shown in Table 3.

J11 and J13 are the power supply for the THS4509. An on-board layout option for a LPF or BPF is

available between the amplifier and the ADC. By default the filter is bypassed, allowing the flexibility to

design according to desired specifications.
