1 Overview
This user's guide gives a general overview of the evaluation module (EVM) and provides a general
description of the features and functions to be considered while using this module. This manual is
applicable to the ADS6122, ADS6123, ADS6124, ADS6125, ADS6142, ADS6143, ADS6144, ADS6145,
and ADS61B23, which collectively are referred to as ADS61xx and ADS61B23. The ADS61xx/ADS61B23
EVM provides a platform for evaluating the low-power, single-channel ADS61xx/ADS61B23 12- and 14-bit
analog-to-digital converters (ADC), and the ADS61B23 12-bit ADC with buffered analog input under
various signal, reference, and supply conditions.
This document should be used in combination with the respective ADC data sheet.
1.1 ADS61xx/ADS61B23 EVM Quick-Start Procedure
Using the quick-start procedure, many users can begin evaluating the ADC in a short time. The quick-start
procedure uses the default conditions of the EVM as shipped from the factory. In addition, the quick-start
guide configures the ADC in a CMOS offset binary data format. Users who have modified the board may
find the quick-start procedure to be ineffective.
1. Supply 3.3 V to J11 while connecting the return to a shorted J11 and J14. Power on the device.
2. Confirm jumper J6 is shorted 1–2 and jumpers J2, J3, and J7 have positions 2–3 shorted.
3. Use the silkscreen to confirm jumper J1 is set to Offset Binary, CMOS output.
4. Use the silkscreen to confirm jumper J4 is set to 0dB Gain, Int Ref.
5. Supply a –1-dBFS filtered, low-phase-noise, 10-MHz CW tone into J8.
6. Supply a filtered, low-phase-noise clock to J9.
7. Use the accompanying breakout board and monitor the digital output (see Table 1 ).

Circuit Description
2 Circuit Description
2.1 Schematic Diagram
The schematic diagram for the EVM is in Section 6.3 .
2.2 ADC Circuit Function
The following sections describe the function of individual circuits. See the relevant data sheet for device
operating characteristics.
2.2.1 ADC Operational Mode
By default, the ADC is configured to operate in parallel-mode operation, because jumper (J3) asserts a
3.3-V state to the ADC reset pin. Consequently, the SW1 reset pushbutton must be pressed only when the
device is configured in serial operation mode. Because the ADC is in parallel operation mode, voltages
are used to set the ADC configuration modes. Users can use the EVM silkscreen to set the operation
modes.
2.2.2 EVM Power Connections
Power is supplied to the EVM by banana jack sockets. Separate connections are provided for a 3.3-V
digital buffer supply (J11) and 3.3-V analog supply (J13); however, by default these are shorted together
using R65, a 0- Ω resistor. Consequently, users can supply power to either J11 or J13 to power the ADC.
The separate connections allow users to separate analog and digital supplies by removing R65. When
using the amplifier evaluation path, connect the positive rail to J20 and the negative rail to J16. The
voltages depend on the coupling method and connection to the ADC. If the ADC VCM is not supplied to
the amplifier and the amplifier is connected to the ADC in a dc-coupled fashion, set J20 to 4 V and J16 to
–1 V. In ac-coupled configurations where the ADC VCM biases the ADC inputs, connect J20 to 5 V and
J16 to GND. The ADC SPI interface and CDCP1803 also are powered through J20, which should be set
to 5 V for operation of those circuits.

2.2.3 ADC Analog Inputs
The EVM is configured to accept a single-ended input source and convert it to an ac-coupled differential
signal using a transformer. The inputs to the ADC must be dc-biased, which is accomplished by using the
ADC VCM output. The input is provided by the SMA connector J8.
Using SMA input J10, users can evaluate the ADC using a THS4509 amplifier, which converts a
single-ended input into a differential signal while providing 10 dB of signal gain. Users should enable the
amplifier path by connecting JP7 1–2 and by shorting positions 2–3 on both surface-mount jumpers JP5
and JP6. At low input frequencies, the ADC represents a high-input impedance and R38, R46, and C76
form a low-pass filter with a 3-db cutoff frequency of 70 MHz. Users can change these component values
depending on the bandwidth of the signal they are digitizing to band-limit the input noise into the ADC.
Using an excessively high cutoff frequency degrades the SNR of the system. Before beginning evaluation
of the amplifier path, a user must choose whether to dc-couple or ac-couple the amplifier path.
In a dc-coupled system, replace C75 and C77 with 0- Ω resistors and remove R37 and R45. Use the ADC
VCM to set the CM input of the amplifier by ensuring that R21 is populated with a 0- Ω resistor. Because
the ADC has a common-mode voltage of 1.5 V and because the THS4509 is not a rail-to-rail amplifier,
adjust VCC to 4 V and –VCC to –1 V, which can be done by applying the respective voltages to J20 and
J16.
For an ac-coupled system, use the voltage divider R37 and R45 to set the common-mode input of the
amplifier, which should be set to the midpoint of the amplifier supply. Alternatively, users can leave R37
and R45 unpopulated and the amplifier sets its own common voltage to (VCC – VEE)/2. Capacitors C75
and C77 provide ac-coupling of the system, and the ADC inputs then can be biased by the R41 and R42
combination. Another ac-coupled approach, not supported on this EVM, is to use a transformer at the
outputs of the THS4509. In this case, the transformer provides for ac-coupling, and the inputs of the ADC
can be biased by feeding the ADC VCM to the transformer center tap on the secondary.

Note that the THS4509 used on this EVM is pinout compatible with the THS4508 , THS4511 , THS4513 ,
and THS4520 . Users can easily interchange the amplifier on this EVM and pick the appropriate amplifier
based on common-mode range, power supplies, and frequency of operation. Contact your local Texas
Instruments (TI) sales representative for assistance in selection of these amplifiers.
2.2.4 ADC Clock Input
Connect a filtered, low-phase-noise clock input to J9. A transformer, T3, provides the conversion from a
single-ended clock signal into a differential clock signal.
The EVM also provides a clock distribution path using the CDCP1803. The CDCP1803 provides for a 1:3
LVDS fanout helpful when clocking multiple ADCs from the same clocking source. Users selecting this
input path should use a low-jitter square-wave input. In addition, the CDCP1803 jitter performance makes
this a valid clocking solution only for input frequencies in the first Nyquist zone, as jitter degrades SNR for
frequencies much above the first Nyquist zone. To use this path, change jumper JP8 to short 1–2, and
JP2, JP3, and JP4 to short pins 2–3.
2.2.5 ADC Digital Outputs
The ADS61xx/ADS61B23 ADC parallel digital outputs are brought to J10, a high-density Samtec™
connector. Several options are available in processing the ADC data.
1. The mating logic analyzer breakout board can capture the ADC data using a logic analyzer. Users who
choose this option should use the companion breakout board and Table 1 for the connection details.
Users lacking access to a logic analyzer can use the TSW1100 to capture the digital data. See the
connection guidelines in Section 4.1 .
2. Users can create their own digital interface board which directly interfaces to the ADC. In this case,
they design their mating digital interface board with the Samtec part number QSO-060-01-F-D-A, which
is the companion part number to the EVM connector.

TI ADC SPI Control Interface
3 TI ADC SPI Control Interface
This section describes the software features accompanying the EVM kit. The TI ADC SPI control software
provides full control of the SPI interface, allowing users to write to any of the ADC registers found in the
ADC data sheet. For most ADS61xx/ADS61B23 performance evaluations, users do not need to use the TI
SPI control software to get evaluation results. Users only need to use the ADC SPI control software when
the desired feature is inaccessible because the ADC is in parallel interface mode.
3.1 Installing the ADC SPI Control Software
The ADC SPI control software can be installed on a personal computer by running the setup.exe file
located on the CD. This file installs the graphical user interface (GUI) along with the USB drivers needed
to communicate to the USB port that resides on the EVM. After the software is installed and the USB
cable has been plugged in for the first time, the user is prompted to complete the installation of the USB
drivers. When prompted, users should allow the Windows
and it should automatically find the TI ADC SPI interface drivers. See Figure 1 .
Note: Before plugging in the USB cable for the first time, install the TI ADC SPI software. The
software installs the drivers necessary for USB communication.

3.2 Setting Up the EVM for ADC SPI Control
Users who wish to use the ADC SPI interface must supply 5 VDC to J20, which provides power to the
USB circuit. By default, the EVM comes with the ADC configured in parallel mode. In order to use the SPI
interface to control the ADC modes of operation, users must move several jumpers.
• Move jumper J3 to short positions 1–2, which places the ADC into serial operation mode.
• Move jumper J7 to short positions 1–2, which allows the USB circuit to control SCLK.
• Move jumper J6 to short positions 1–2, which allows the USB circuit to control SDATA.
• Move jumper J2 to short positions 1–2, which allows the USB circuit to control SEN.
3.3 Using the TI ADC SPI Interface Software
Once the software is installed and the USB cable is connected, three primary modes of operating the
software are available: SPI Register Writes, SPI Register Write Using a Script File, and
ADS61xx/ADS61B23 Frequently Used Registers.
3.3.1 SPI Register Writes
The most basic mode of operation allows full control of writing to individual register addresses. In the top
left corner of the interface screen (Figure 1 ), select the ADS61xx ADC from the ADC SPI Protocol
drop-down list. Next, type the Address Bytes(s) in hexadecimal (hex) and Data Byte(s) in hex, which can
be found in the device data sheet. When you are ready to send this command to the ADC, press "Enter"
on your keyboard. The graph indicator is updated with the patterns sent to the ADC. The default inputs to
both the Address Byte(s) and Data Byte(s) fields are hex inputs as designated by the small x in the
control. Users can change the default input style by clicking on the "x" to binary, decimal, octal, or hex.
Multiple register writes can be written simply by changing the contents of the Address Byte(s) and Data
Byte(s) field and pressing Enter again.
TI ADC SPI Control Interface
3.3.2 SPI Register Write Using a Script File
For situations where the same multiple registers must be written on a frequent basis, users can easily use
a text editor to create a script file containing all ADC register writes. An example script file is located in the
\\Install Directory\Script Files\ADS6145_LVDS_CourseGain.txt. Users who wish to take advantage of
writing their own script files should start by using the ADS6145_LVDS_CourseGain.txt as a template file.
When ready to write the contents of the script file to the ADC, users can press the Load Script button and
they will be prompted for the file location of their script file. The commands are sent to the ADC when the
user acknowledges the selection of the file.
3.3.2.1 ADS61xx Frequently Used Registers
For ease of use, several buttons have been added that allow one-click register writes of commonly used
features found in Table 4 . These are found in the ADS61xx tab, as these commands are specific to the
ADS61xx ADC only. The software writes to the ADC both the contents of the associated address and data
when the button is clicked. When the ADS61xx Reset button is pressed, it issues a software reset to the
ADC, and it resets the button values to match the contents inside of the ADC. The graph indicator plots
the SPI commands written to the ADC when a button has been depressed.

4 Connecting to FPGA Platforms
The ADS61xx/ADS61B23 EVM provides several connection options to mate the EVM to various FPGA
development platforms and FPGA-based capture boards.
4.1 TSW1100
Using the accompanying CMOS breakout board, users can easily mate TI's TSW1100 capture board to
the ADS61xx/ADS61B23 EVM. Simply connect the breakout board to the J2 (Channel 2) connector on the
TSW1100. From an orientation standpoint, the Xilinx™ FPGA faces the ADC when correctly configured.
Before using the TSW1100 to capture ADC data for the first time, users should update the TSW1100
Supported_ADCs.txt file. They should explore the accompanying ADS61xx/ADS61B23 software CD and
replace the installed TSW1100 Supported_ADC.txt file with the one found on the CD; this file adds
TSW1100 support for both the ADS612x and ADS614x.
Finally, users should ensure that the ADC61xxEVM is configured in CMOS output mode. In addition, the
TSW1100 represents a load greater than 5 pF and as such, users should consider boosting the CMOS
drive strength by using the TI SPI Control software. In many cases, the boosting of the drive strength is
not required to perform valid data captures when using the TSW1100; this is an optional step.
4.2 TSW1200
The ADS61xx/ADS61B23 natively plugs into the TSW1200 FPGA platform. In most circumstances, the
TSW1200 functions as a deserializer. However, the Virtex™-4 FPGA can be reprogrammed to allow the
ultimate in flexible solution prototyping. For users wishing to apply FPGA control over the
ADS61xx/ADS61B23 SPI interface, move the surface-mount jumpers into the following positions.
• Move the jumper on J2 (SEN) to the 1–2 position, and remove R7 and populate R62 with a 0- Ω
resistor.
• Move the jumper on J7 (SCLK) to the 1–2 position, and remove R20 while installing the 0- Ω resistor to
R63.
• Move the jumper on J6 (SDATA) to the 1–2 position, and remove R19 while installing the 0- Ω resistor
to R64.
• Remove R18.
• Move the jumper on J3 to position 1–2 to configure the ADC into the SPI operation mode (serial
interface mode).

ADC Evaluation
5 ADC Evaluation
This section describes how to set up a typical ADC evaluation system that is similar to what TI uses to
perform testing for data-sheet generation. Consequently, the information in this section is generic in nature
and is applicable to all high-speed, high-resolution ADC evaluations. This section covers signal tone
analysis, which yields ADC data-sheet figures of merit such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and spurious
free dynamic range (SFDR).
5.1 Hardware Selection
To reveal the true performance of the ADC under evaluation, great care should be taken in selecting both
the ADC signal source and ADC clocking source.
5.1.1 Analog Input Signal Generator
When choosing the quality of the ADC analog input source, consider both harmonic distortion performance
of the signal generator and the noise performance of the source.
In many cases, the harmonic distortion performance of the signal generator is inferior to that of the ADC,
and additional filtering is needed if users expect to reproduce the ADC SFDR numbers found in the data
sheet. Users can easily evaluate the harmonic distortion of the signal generator by hooking it directly to a
spectrum analyzer, measuring the power of the output signal, and comparing that to the power of the
integer multiples of the output signal frequency. If the harmonic distortion is worse than the ADC under
evaluation, the ADC digitizes the performance of the signal generator and the true SFDR of the ADC is
masked. To alleviate this, it is recommended that users provide additional LC filtering after the signal
generator output.
Another important metric when deciding on a signal generator is its noise performance. As with the
distortion performance, if the noise performance is worse than that of the ADC under evaluation, the ADC
digitizes the performance of the source. Noise can be broken into two components, broadband noise and
close-in phase noise. Broadband noise can be improved by the LC filter added to improve distortion
performance; however, the close-in phase noise typically cannot be improved by additional filtering.
Therefore, when selecting an analog signal source, it is important to review the manufacturer's phase
noise plots and take care to choose a signal generator with the best phase-noise performance.
www.ti.com
5.1.2 Clock Signal Generator
Equally important in the high-performance ADC evaluation setup is the selection of the clocking source.
Most modern ADCs, the ADS61xx/ADS61B23 included, accept either a sinusoidal or a square-wave clock
input. The key metric in selecting a clocking source is selecting a source with the lowest jitter. This
becomes increasingly important as the ADC input frequency (fin) increases, because the ADC SNR
evaluation setups can become jitter-limited (tj) as shown by the following equation.
In theory, a square-wave source with femtosecond jitter would be ideal for an ADC evaluation setup.
However, in practical terms, most commercially available square-wave generators offer jitter measured in
picoseconds, which is too great for high-resolution ADC evaluation setups. Therefore, most evaluation
setups rely on the ADC internal clock buffer to convert a sinusoidal input signal into a ultralow-jitter square
wave. When selecting a sinusoidal clocking source, it has been shown that phase noise has a direct
impact on jitter performance. Consequently, great scrutiny should be applied to the phase-noise
performance of the clocking signal generator. TI has found that high-Q monolithic crystal filters can
improve the phase noise of the signal generator, and these filters become essential elements of the
evaluation setup when high ADC input frequencies are being evaluated.
SNR (dBc) = 20 log (2 π × fin× tj(rms))

5.2 Coherent Input Frequency Selection
Typical ADC analysis requires users to collect the resulting time-domain data and perform a Fourier
transform to analyze the data in the frequency domain. A stipulation of the Fourier transform is that the
signal must be continuous-time; however, this is impractical when looking at a finite set of ADC samples,
usually collected from a logic analyzer. Consequently, users typically apply a window function to minimize
the time-domain discontinuities that arise when analyzing a finite set of samples. For ADC analysis,
window functions have their own frequency signatures or lobes that distort both SNR and SFDR
measurements of the ADC.
TI uses the concept of coherent sampling to work around the use of a window function. The central
premise of coherent sampling entails that the input signal into the ADC is carefully chosen such that when
a continuous-time signal is reconstructed from a finite sample set, no time-domain discontinuities exist. To
achieve this, the input frequency must be an integer multiple of the ratio of the ADC sample rate (fs) and
the number of samples collected from the logic analyzer (N
the fundamental frequency (ff). Determining the ADC input frequency is a two-step process. First, the
users select the frequency of interest for evaluating the ADC; then, they divide this by the fundamental
frequency. This typically yields a non-integer value, which should be rounded to the nearest odd,
preferably prime, integer. Once that integer, or frequency bin (f

FCC Warning
This evaluation board/kit is intended for use for ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT, DEMONSTRATION, OR EVALUATION PURPOSES
ONLY and is not considered by TI to be a finished end-product fit for general consumer use. It generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and has not been tested for compliance with the limits of computing devices pursuant to 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.
EVM WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of–0.3 V to 3.6 V and the output voltage range of –0.3 V to 3.6 V.
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 50 ° C. The EVM is designed to operate
properly with certain components above 25 ° 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.
