This manual provides information about the Data Conversion High-Speed Mezzanine
Card (HSMC). You can use the HSMC to develop digital signal processing (DSP)
applications with Altera
The Data Conversion HSMC provides a set of analog to digital (A/D) and digital to
analog (D/A) interfaces including an audio coder/decoder (CODEC) interface. This
manual describes each of the hardware interfaces on the Data Conversion HSMC.

This chapter provides operational and connectivity details about the Data Conversion
HSMC’s major components and interfaces.
Board schematics, board layout database, and assembly files for the Data Conversion
HSMC are included in the board_design_files subdirectory of the installed kit
directory. For information about powering up the Data Conversion HSMC and
installing the demo software and examples, refer to the user guide provided with
your kit.
Figure 2–1 shows the layout and components of the Data Conversion HSMC.

Pins 2 and 4
Power Down Select Jumper (J2, J6)
The power down configuration of the A/D converter is selectable through J2 (channel
A) or J6 (channel B). Table 2–3 lists the jumper settings for power down options. A/D
converters should be powered down when not used to reduce spurious noise output.

Note to Table 2–3:
(1) If jumper pins are left open, A/D converter will be in normal state.
D/A Converter Clock Select Jumper (J15, J17)
Tab le 2– 4 lists the J15 (channel A) and J17 (channel B) jumper settings used to select
(1) On the schematic, MUX (U11) output signal names are DAC_CLK_1_P and DAC_CLK_1_N.
(2) On the schematic, MUX (U12) output signal names are DAC_CLK_2_P and DAC_CLK_2_N.
The mode select jumper is used to put the D/A converter in either dual bus or
interleaved mode. It is selectable through J11 (channel A and channel B). Tab le 2– 5
lists the jumper settings for mode select options.
The gain setting select jumper is used to set gain of the D/A converter’s channels. It is
selectable through J10 (channel A and channel B). Table 2–6 lists the jumper settings
for gain settings options.

(J10)Description
Jumper ONSets gain of channel A through RSET on BiasJ_A pin, and of channel B
through RSET on BiasJ_B pin.
Jumper OFFGain of channels A and B is set through RSET on BiasJ_A pin only and
RSET on BiasJ_B pin is ignored.
Sleep Select Jumper (J13)
The sleep select jumper is used to put the D/A converter in power down mode. It is
selectable through J13 (channel A and channel B). Table 2–7 lists the jumper settings
for sleep select options. The D/A converter when not in use should be put in sleep
mode.
(1) On the schematic, MUX (U13) output signal names are RX_CLK_P and RX_CLK_N.
Clocks
This section describes the external clock input and output SMA connectors.
External Clock Input SMA Connectors (J26, J30)
The CLK SMA connector (J26 or J30) provides an external clock input. It can be
selected to be the input to U1, U2, and U3 (Figure 2–3). An external clock input
provides (while using a particular design) theflexibility to use the same external clock
source for the entire system under test. If you choose to use a single-ended clock, R112
must be removed and R111 be installed.
The CLK SMA connector (J25 or J28) provides an external clock output. Different
clocks can be selected by using differential LVDS multiplexer (U13) and clock select
jumper (J23) (Figure 2–4). The external clock source provides (while using a particular
design) the flexibility to alter the input frequency to verify f
choose to use a single-ended clock, R110 must be removed and R109 be installed.

Component Interfaces
This section describes the user interfaces, which consist of the A/D converter, D/A
converter, audio CODEC converter, HSMC connector, and I
A/D Converter (U1, U2)
The Data Conversion HSMC contains two AD9254 14-bit 150 MS/s A/D converters.
This device is designed for high-speed and high-performance applications.
The inputs to these A/D converters are transformer-coupled in order to create a
balanced input. The signal-to-noise ratio for the system is up to 72 dB for input signals
from 1 MHz to the Nyquist frequency of the converter. The maximum differential
input voltage to the converter is 2 VPP. Usable voltage input to the SMA connector is
approximately 512 mV when driven from a 50-Ω source.
