This document presents a description of the THS0842 evaluation module.
How to Use This Manual
This document contains the following chapters:
- Chapter 1 – Overview
- Chapter 2 – Circuit Functionality
- Chapter 3 – Layout, Decoupling, and Grounding Considerations
This chapter gives a general overview of the THS0842 evaluation module
(EVM), and describes some of the factors that must be considered in using the
module.
The THS0842 evaluation module (EVM) provides a platform for evaluating the
THS0842 analog-to-digital converter (ADC) under various signal, reference,
and supply conditions. The system block diagram is shown below. This illustration provides a general indication of the features and functions available. It
should be read in combination with the circuit schematic supplied.

1.2EVM Basic Function
Analog inputs to the ADC are provided via six external SMB connectors. Two
pairs of SMB connectors provide true differential inputs, or two individual SMB
connectors provide single-ended transformer-coupled signals to the inputs of
the device.
The EVM provides an external SMB connection for input of the ADC clock. A
crystal oscillator is provided on the board to perform this function and can be
used when required. Refer to the section on clocking for correct provisioning.
Digital output from the EVM is via two 25-pin connectors. The digital lines from
the ADC are buffered before going to the connectors. More information on
these connectors can be found in the ADC output section.
Analog output from the EVM is via two SMB connectors (J1 and J3). A pair of
THS5651 10-bit DACS are used to recreate the analog signal from the ADC’s
digital data. More information on this can be found in the ADC analog output
section.
Power connections to the EVM are via a pair of screw-down connectors.
Separate input connectors are provided for the analog and digital supplies.
EVM Basic Function
1.3Power Requirements
The EVM is powered directly through independent 3.3-V analog and digital
supplies.
1.3.1Voltage Limits
Exceeding the 3.3-V maximum can damage EVM components. Under voltage
may cause improper operation of some or all of the EVM components.

THS0842 EVM Operational Procedure
1.4THS0842 EVM Operational Procedure
The THS0842 EVM provides a flexible means of evaluating the THS0842 in
a number of modes of operation. A basic setup procedure that can be used as
a board confidence check follows:
1) Verify all jumper settings against the schematic jumper list in Table 1–1:
1) Set both dc power supplies to read 3.3 V at the output terminals. Connect
GND of the first power supply to the AGND(J6–2) terminal on the EVM,
and GND of the other power supply to the DGND(J7–2) terminal on the
EVM. Then connect the first power supply’s 3.3-V output to the A VDD power (J6–1) terminal of the EVM, and the other power supply’s 3.3-V output
to the DVDD(J7–1) terminal of the EVM.

2) Switch power supplies on.
3) Set function generator number one to output a square wave at a frequency
of 80 MHz, 0-V offset, and an amplitude of 3.3 V on the 50-Ω output.
4) Use a 50-Ω coaxial cable with BNC/SMB connectors to connect generator
number 1 to J4 (clock input).

5) Set function generator number 2 to output a sine wave at a frequency of
1 MHz, 0-V offset, and an amplitude of 0.8 Vp-p on the 50-Ω output.
6) Use a 50-Ω coaxial cable with BNC/SMB connectors to connect generator
number 2 to J8 (Q input). Use a T-splitter to connect the test signal to channel 1 of the oscilloscope.
7) Use a 50-Ω coaxial cable with BNC/SMB connectors to connect the second channel of the oscilloscope to J3 (Q-output). The two sine waves
should have the same period (their amplitudes may differ).
8) Repeat Step 5 with the SMB connected to J11 (I-input).
9) Repeat Step 6, except connect to J1 (I-output).
