EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the specified input and output ranges as described
in the EVM user’s guide.
Exceeding the specified input range may cause unexpected operation and/or irreversible
damage to the EVM. If there are questions concerning the input range, please contact a TI
field representative prior to connecting the input power.
Applying loads outside of the specified output range may result in unintended operation and/or
possible permanent damage to the EVM. Please consult the EVM User’s Guide prior to
connecting any load to the EVM output. If there is uncertainty as to the load specification,
please contact a TI field representative.
During normal operation, some circuit components may have case temperatures greater than
60°C. The EVM is designed to operate properly with certain components above 60°C as long
as the input and output ranges are maintained. These components include but are not limited
to linear regulators, switching transistors, pass transistors, and current sense resistors. These
types of devices can be identified using the EVM schematic located in the EVM User’s Guide.
When placing measurement probes near these devices during operation, please be aware
that these devices may be very warm to the touch.

FCC Warning
This equipment is intended for use in a laboratory test environment only. It
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and has not been
tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to subpart
J of part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against radio frequency interference. Operation of this equipment in other
environments may cause interference with radio communications, in which
case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever measures
may be required to correct this interference.
This user’s guide gives a general overview of the ADS5102/3 evaluation
module (EVM) and provides a general description of the features and
functions to be considered while using this module.
The ADS5102/3 EVM provides a platform for evaluating the ADS5102/3
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) under various signal, reference, and supply
conditions. Use this document in combination with the EVM schematic
diagram supplied.
1.2EVM Basic Functions
Analog input to the ADC is provided via two external SMA connectors. The
single-ended input the user provides is converted into a differential signal at
the input of the device. One input uses a differential amplifier , while the other
input is transformer coupled.
The EVM provides an external SMA connection for input of the ADC clock. The
user can send this clock to the output connector with the digital data or provide
a second clock source to be sent in place of the ADC clock. This allows the user
to provide the required setup and hold times of the output data with respect to
the output clock. See the Clock Inputs section for the proper configuration and
operation.
Digital output from the EVM is via a 40-pin connector. The digital lines from the
ADC are buffered before going to this connector. More information on this
connector can be found in the ADC output section.
Power connections to the EVM are via banana jack sockets. Separate sockets
are provided for the analog and digital supply.
In addition to the internal reference provided by the ADS5102/3 device,
options are provided on the EVM to allow adjustment of the ADC references
via an onboard reference circuit. A precision voltage reference source, a
resistor network, and an operational amplifier (op amp) provide the
ADS5102/3 device reference voltages REFT and REFB.
1.3Power Requirements
The EVM can be powered directly with a single 1.8-V supply if using the
module with transformer coupled input, internal reference source, and 1.8-V
logic outputs.
A voltage of 3.3 V is required for the DRVDD power input to provide 3.3-V logic
outputs. A voltage of ±5 V is required if using external references and/or
differential amplifier input. Provision has also been made to allow the EVM to
be powered with independent 1.8-V analog and digital supplies to provide
higher performance.
Voltage Limits
Exceeding the maximum input voltages can damage EVM
components. Undervoltage may cause improper operation of
some or all of the EVM components.

Table 2–1 lists the parts used in constructing the EVM.
The following paragraphs describe the function of the individual circuits. See
the data sheet for device operating characteristics.
3.1.1Analog Inputs
The ADC has either transformer-coupled inputs or differential-amplifier inputs
from a single-ended source. The inputs are provided via the SMA connectors
J1 and J2 on the EVM, which must be configured as follows:
- For a differential amplifier input to the ADC, a single ended source is
connected to J1. R36 and R38 must be installed, and R37 and R39 must
be removed. The input has a 50-Ω terminator.
- For a 1:1 transformer coupled input to the ADC, a single ended source is
connected to J2. R36 and R38 must be removed, and R37 and R39 must
be installed. The input is ac-coupled and has a 50-Ω terminator.
3.1.2External Reference Inputs
In addition to being able to use the internal reference of the ADC, a reference
circuit has been included on the EVM. This circuit uses a precision 2.5-V,
low-noise linear regulator as the primary source, and allows adjustment of the
REFT and REFB signals to the ADC using potentiometers R27 and R28,
respectively . A third source, CML, is also generated to provide an adjustable
common mode voltage to be used by the transformer and differential amplifier
during external reference operation. CML is adjusted by potentiometer R29.
In order to use the ADC with external references, install jumpers W10 and
W11, install jumper W3 between pins 2 and 3, jumper W6 between pins 1
and 2, and jumper W1 between pins 1 and 2. If REFT is set to any voltage other
than 1.25 V , jumper W1 must be installed between pins 2 and 3 for optimal ADC
performance. The ranges of the external reference signals are shown in
Table 3–1.

The following paragraphs describe the function of the individual circuits. See the data sheet for device operating characteristics.
3.1.3Clock Inputs
The EVM provides separate inputs for the ADC clock and output buffer clock.
This allows the user to send a modified version of the ADC clock (inverted,
delayed, etc.) with the output data to generate the required setup and hold
times for the user interface. The ADC clock input is SMA connector J3 and has
provisions for serial and/or parallel termination. The buffered output clock
input is SMA connector J4 and has provisions for serial and/or parallel
termination. The clock inputs must be 50-Ω square wave signals, 1.8-V or
3.3-V referenced to ground, with a duty cycle of 50 ±5%. The EVM can operate
with only one clock input by installing R43 and R44, and removing R41 and R8
to prevent double termination.
3.1.4Control Inputs
The ADC has three discrete inputs to control the operation of the device.
3.1.4.1Standby
With jumper W4 installed between pins 2 and 3, the ADC is in power-down
mode. The device is in operate mode with jumper W4 installed between pin 1
and pin 2.
3.1.4.2Output Enable
With jumper W5 installed between pins 1 and 2, the ADC data outputs are in
a 3-state mode. The data outputs are enabled with jumper W5 installed
between pins 2 and 3.
3.1.4.3Power Down Reference
With jumper W6 installed between pins 1 and 2, the ADC internal reference
is disabled and the device is in external reference mode. The ADC is in internal
reference mode with jumper W6 installed between pins 2 and 3.
3.1.5Power
Power is supplied to the EVM via banana jack sockets. A separate connection
is provided for a 1.8-V analog supply (J6 and J5), a 1.8-V digital supply (J9 and
J10), a 1.8/3.3-V digital driver supply (J13 and J14), and a ±5-V analog supply
(J7, J8, and J11).
3.1.6Outputs
The data outputs from the ADC are buffered using a SN74AVC16244 before
going to header J15. The ADC and output buffer can provide 1.8-V or 3.3-V
output levels. The voltage placed at the driver power inputs (J13 and J14)
selects this. J15 is a standard 40-pin header on a 100-mil grid, and allows easy
connection to a logic analyzer. The connector pin out is listed in Table 3–2.
