ADS54J64 Evaluation Module
1
Overview
This evaluation board includes the following important features:
•
Transformer-coupled signal input network, allows a single-ended signal source to the EVM
•
LMK04828, a system clock generator, generates the FPGA reference clock for the high-speed serial
interface
•
Default transformer-coupled clock input network, tests the receiver performance with a very low-noise
clock
•
High-speed serial data output over a standard FMC connector
•
Device registers programming through a USB connector and FTDI USB-to-SPI bus translator
The ADS54J64EVM device is designed to work seamlessly with the TSW14J56EVM device, the
JESD204B data-capture card from TI, and the
High-Speed Data Converter Pro
(HSDCPro) software tool.
The ADS54J64EVM device is also compatible with many of the development kits from leading FPGA
vendors that contain an FMC connector.
