ADS58H4x (ADS58H40/ADS58H43) EVM
This document serves as a user’s guide for the ADS58H4x (ADS58H40/ADS58H43) Evaluation Module
(EVM). The EVM provides a platform for evaluating the ADS58H40 or the ADS58H43, a quad-channel,
14-bit telecommunications analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating at sampling rates of up to 250
MSPS. Designed for low-power consumption and high spurious free dynamic range (SFDR), the ADC has
low-noise performance and outstanding SFDR over a large input-frequency range.
The four ADC channels are separated into two blocks with two ADCs each. Each block can individually be
configured into three different operating modes: 11-bit Operating mode, 11-bit SNRBoost mode, 14-bit
High Resolution Burst mode.
This EVM is ideally suited for mating with the TSW1400 Capture Card for performing a data capture into a
capture buffer, uploading the sample data to a PC, performing an FFT, and reporting on SNR, SFDR, and
other performance metrics.
For more information regarding the ADS58H4x and the related evaluation tools, please refer to the
following:

•
ADS58H40 EVM Configuration Software (
). This software is compatible for both ADS58H40
and ADS58H43.
