Introduction
Figure 1-1. EVM Orientation
The digital data from the ADC12DJ3200EVM board is quickly and easily captured with the
TSW14J57EVM or TSW14J56EVM data capture boards.
NOTE:
The TSW14J56EVM cannot be used for JMODES that use 16 data lanes, or serial rates
above 12 Gbps.
The TSW14J57EVM captures the high-speed serial data, decodes the data, stores the data in memory,
and then uploads it to a connected PC through a USB interface for analysis. The High-Speed Data
Converter Pro (HSDC Pro) software on the PC communicates with the hardware and processes the data.
With proper hardware selection in the HSDC Pro software, the TSW14J57 device is automatically
configured to support a wide range of operating speeds of the ADC12DJ3200EVM, but the device may not
cover the full operating range of the ADC device. Serial data rates of 12.8 Gbps down to 1 Gbps are
supported.
In the following sections of this document, theADC12DJ3200EVM evaluation board is referred to as the
EVM
and the ADC12DJ3200 device is referred to as the
ADC
device.
