Capture the ADC Samples, Perform an FFT, and Plot the
Results
This section allows you to capture the raw digital data output from the ADC, perform an FFT, plot the
results, and display the performance of the ADC under evaluation.
For the best performance, Texas Instruments recommends using an Agilent 8644 for both the signal
source and the clock source with the appropriate filters. The TSW1100 software automatically controls
these instruments if they are hooked up using GPIB and the Remote Control of Lab Instruments is turned
on in the Equipment Setup tab. You may also change the GPIB address for both the signal generator and
clock generator.
In the top left-hand corner of the user controls, find the pulldown control labeled Texas Instruments chip.
Select the appropriate EVM from the list. Based off this selection, the software automatically updates the
ADC characteristic indicators: number of bits and 2’s compliment.
Find the control labeled Desired Frequency and change it to the sinusoidal frequency you would like to
provide to the ADC analog input. In its default state and for best ADC performance, the software
calculates a coherent bin based off of a prime integer and it displays it in the frequency indicator. If you
are not using the Remote Control of Lab Instruments feature, then manually set your signal source output
frequency to coincide with the displayed frequency indicator. You also have control over the amplitude of
the signal source; Texas Instruments recommends that you set this to be -1 dBFS of the device under
evaluation.
Find the control labeled Sampling Frequency and set this to the value at which you want to clock the ADC.
For the best performance, do not set this above the recommended device operating frequency. Set the
clock amplitude by varying the Clock Amplitude control.
With the understanding that J1 connects to channel 1 and J2 connects to channel 2 of the TSW1100, use
the Capture control to select which channel the ADC EVM is connected to. Select the depth of capture by
selecting the acquisition size in the Number of Points control. Texas Instruments recommends that you set
this to 16384 for sinusoidal input evaluation.
