Troubleshoot
• Verify the test setup shown in
, and repeat the setup procedure as described in this
document.
• Check power supply to EVM and TSW14J56EVM. Verify that the power switches are in the on
position.
• Check signal and clock connections to EVM.
General problems
• Visually check the top and bottom layers of the board to verify that nothing looks discolored or
damaged.
• Check the connection of all boards together.
• Try pressing the CPU_RESET button on the TSW14J56EVM.
• Try power-cycling the external power supply to the EVM, and reprogram the LMK and ADC
devices.
• Verify the settings of the configuration switches on the TSW14J56EVM.
• Verify that the clock going to the CLK input is connected and the appropriate LEDs are blinking.
TSW14J56 LEDs are not
• Verify that the ADC device internal registers are configured properly.
