2.1 Installing the WaveVision 5 Software
1.
Insert the included WaveVision 5 CD-ROM into the computer CD drive.
2.
Locate, unzip and run the install.bat program on the CD-ROM.
3.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
4.
Follow the WaveVision 5 Software Driver Installation Guide from
www.ti.com/tool/wavevision5
to install
the required drivers for the ADC board. This typically involves manually installing them from the “driver”
folder in the WaveVision 5 directory.
2.2 Installing the ADC0XD1520RB Hardware
1.
Place the ADC0xD1520RB Reference Board on a clean, static-free surface.
2.
For the ADC, the "ECE (Extended Control Enable, active low)" jumper should be installed in the LOW
position. This enables SPI control of the ADC.
3.
Pin 9 on J15 must be connected to Ground for ac-coupled operation. The board ships with this jumper in
place as it is configured for ac-coupled operation only. (The jumper is removed for dc-coupled operation.
In that case the applied signal must be dc-coupled, and have the common mode DC voltage set to the
required ADC0XD1520 V
CM
voltage.)
4.
Connect the en12V DC power adapter to the power jack. Connect the other side of the power
supply to an AC outlet (100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz). Note that some earlier versions of the ADC08D1520RB
may use a 7.5VDC source; the silk screen by the power connector is labeled.
5.
Connect the input signal generator, the band-pass filter, the balun and the DC blocks to the
ADC0XD1520RB Reference Board's I-channel input connectors. Set the signal generator at one of the
frequencies and signal levels stated in the reference performance report. Always use high-quality RF SMA
cables for optimum performance.
Do not overdrive the signal and clock inputs as the ADC may be damaged. Refer to the
Electrical Specification section of the datasheet for the voltage tolerance of these inputs.
Including insertion loss from filters, baluns, cables, DC blocks, etc. input power should
not exceed operating limits as found in the datasheet.
6.
In the TI lab, the following (or equivalent performance) equipment are used to test the board. It is essential
that the customer use signal generators, filters, DC blocks and a balun of equivalent or better performance.
o
Rohde & Schwarz SME-03 or SMA-100 signal generator
o
Filters - Trilithic 5VF 5% tunable bandpass filter or other fixed frequency bandpass filter of
equivalent performance
o
Balun – ADC-LD-BB
o
DC blocks – Mini Circuits BLK-89 S+
o
50
Ω
terminators – Mini Circuits ANNE 50+
Note:
The board comes equipped with DC-blocks applied to the I-channel signal input connectors and DC
blocks and terminators applied to the unused Q-channel input connectors. These must be used at all times -
that is, the channel being used must be connected through dc-blocks if the ADC is configured for ac-
coupled operation (as shipped). The unused channel must also be DC blocked then terminated to ac
ground. This is graphically illustrated in Figure 2.
7.
Turn on the SW2 rocker power switch. Verify that the green LED (labeled LD10, near the J12 power jack)
is lit.
8.
Connect the supplied USB 2.0 cable from the PC USB port to the ADC0XD1520RB USB jack.
