Setup Procedure
3.1
Install the High Speed Data Converter (HSDC) Pro Software
Download the most recent version of the HSDC Pro software from
www.ti.com/tool/dataconverterpro-sw
.
Follow the installation instructions to install the software.
3.2
Install the Configuration GUI Software
1. Download the Configuration GUI software from the EVM tool folder at
ADC12DJxx00 GUI
.
2. Extract files from the .zip file.
3. Run the executable file (setup.exe), and follow the instructions.
3.3
Connect the EVM and TSW14J57EVM
With the power off, connect the ADC12DJ3200EVM to the TSW14J57EVM through the FMC connector as
shown in
Figure 3-1
. Ensure that the standoffs provide the proper height for robust connector connections.
3.4
Connect the Power Supplies to the Boards (Power Off)
1. Confirm that the power switch on the TSW14J57EVM is in the off position. Connect the power cable to
a 12-V DC (minimum 2 A) power supply. Ensure the proper supply polarity by confirming that the outer
surface of the barrel connector is GND and the inner portion of the connector is 12 V. Connect the
power cable to the EVM power connector.
2. Confirm that the power switch on the ADC12DJ3200EVM is in the off position. Connect the power
cable to a 5-V DC (minimum 3 A) power supply. Ensure the proper supply polarity by confirming that
the outer surface of the barrel connector is GND and the inner portion of the connector is 5 V. Connect
the power cable to the EVM power connector.
CAUTION
Ensure the power connections to the EVMs are the correct polarity.
Failure to do so may result in immediate damage
Ensure the 12-V power supply is connected to the TSW14J57EVM and not
the ADC12DJ3200EVM. Providing the ADC12DJ3200EVM with 12 V may
result in immediate damage
Leave the power switches in the off position until directed later.
3.5
Connect the Signal Generators to the EVM (*RF Outputs Disabled Until Directed)
1. Connect a signal generator to the VIN input of the ADC12DJ3200EVM through a bandpass filter and
attenuator at the SMA connector. This must be a low-noise signal generator. TI recommends a
Trilithic-tunable bandpass filter to filter the signal from the generator. Configure the signal generator for
1910 MHz, 0 dBm.
If External Clocking is Used (Optional)
(a) Connect a signal generator to the DEVCLK input of the EVM through a bandpass filter. This signal
generator must be a low-noise signal generator. TI recommends a Trilithic-tunable bandpass filter
to filter the signal coming from the generator. Configure the signal generator for the desired clock
frequency in the range of 0.8 to 3.2 GHz. For best performance when using an RF signal
generator, the power input to the CLK SMA connector must be 9 dBm (2.2 Vpp into 50
Ω
). The
signal generator must increase above 9 dB by an amount equal to any additional attenuation in the
clock signal path, such as the insertion loss of the bandpass filter. For example, if the filter
insertion loss is 2 dB, the signal generator must be set to 9 dBm + 2 dB = 11 dBm.
(b) Connect a signal generator to the LMKCLK input of the EVM through a bandpass filter. Configure
the signal generator for the desired clock frequency in the range of 0.8 to 3.2 GHz. Set the output
power to approximately 6–9 dBm.
