Optimizing Evaluation Results

www.ti.com

3 Optimizing Evaluation Results

This section assists the user in optimizing the performance during evaluation of the product.

3.1 Clocking Optimization

The sampling clock provided to the ADC needs to have very low phase noise to achieve optimal results.

The default EVM configuration uses the LMK04828 clocking device to generate the sampling clock. There

are two options to improve the clock noise performance.

1. To achieve the best performance, the LMK04828 can be bypassed in favor of an externally provided

clock that is transformer coupled to the ADC. The clock must have very low noise and must use an

external narrow pass-band filter to achieve optimal noise performance. The clock amplitude must be

within the datasheet limits. See Section 5 for more information regarding this setup.

2. The LMK04828 can be used as a clock distributor by using an external clock as the input to the

LMK04828. Filters should still be used on the clock to optimize the noise performance. See Section 5.2

for more information regarding this setup.

3.2 Coherent Input Source

ARectangular window function can be applied to the captured data when the sample rate and the input

frequency are set precisely to capture an integer number of cycles of the input frequency (sometimes

called coherent frequency). This may yield better SNR results. The clock and analog inputs must be

frequency locked (such as through 10-MHz references) in order to achieve coherency.

3.3 HSDC Pro Settings

HSDC Pro has some settings that can help improve the performance measurements. These are

highlighted in Table 3.

Table 3. HSDC Pro Settings to Optimize Results

HSDC Pro Feature Description

Analysis Window (samples) Selects the number of samples to include in the selected test analysis. Collect more data to

improve frequency resolution of Fast-Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis. If more than 65,536

samples are required, the setting in the Data Capture Options needs to be increased to match this

value.

Data Windowing Function Select the desired windowing function applied to the data for FFT analysis. Select Blackman when

sampling a non-coherent input signal or Rectangle when sampling a coherent input signal.

Test Options →Notch Select bins to be removed from the spectrum and back-filled with the average noise level. May

Alternate Hardware Configurations

5 Alternate Hardware Configurations

This section describes alternate hardware configurations in order to achieve better results or to more

closely mimic the system configuration.

5.1 Clocking Options

The default clocking mode uses the LMK04828 to generate the ADC sampling clock and FPGA clocks.

There are three additional clocking options that the EVM supports. These options are described in the

following sections.

5.1.1 External ADC Sampling Clock

An external clock can be used as the sampling clock for the ADC. This clock can be provided through a

transformer using the EXT_ADC_CLK connector (J6). For this option, C47 and C48 need to be uninstalled

and installed at R35 and R39. The LMK04828 must still be used to provide the device clock to the

TSW14J56 and the SYSREF signals to both boards. This option provides the best performance, as long

as the clock source has better phase-noise performance than the LMK04828. The source of the EXT ADC

clock must be synchronized with the LMK04828. To accomplish this, send the 10-MHz reference output

from the signal generator and connect it to J12 (CLKIN) of the ADS54J60EVM. This causes LED D6 to

illuminate indicating the LMK VCXO source is locked to the external reference clock. The provided LMK

configuration files will work in this mode as well. To turn off the ADC clock provided by the LMK04828 to

reduce switching noise, click on the LMK04828 tab, then click on Clock Outputs tab, then select

Powerdown for DCLK Type under CLKout 2 and 3 as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 8. LMK04828 Clock Outputs Tab

5.1.2 External LMK04828 Clock (Clock Distribution Mode)

The LMK04828 can be used as a clock distributor. In this case, the LMK04828 uses in input clock source

from CLKIN SMA connector (J12). JP2 (XO_PWR) can be left open to turn off the onboard VCXO to avoid

crosstalk. To use this mode, load the configuration file named LMK_Config_External_Clock.cfg. This mode

allows generation of frequencies that are not possible with the LMK when using the on-board VCXO.

SLAU629–April 2015 ADS54J60EVM

Alternate Hardware Configurations

www.ti.com

5.1.3 Clock Generator Using Onboard VCXO

The LMK04828 is used as a clock generator using the onboard 122.88 MHz VCXO. JP2 must be shorted

to turn on the onboard VCXO. The internal PLLs of the LMK04828 can be used with the onboard VCXO to

generate the desired frequencies. To use this mode, load one of the configuration files named

LMK_Config_Onboard_xxxx_MSPS.cfg, where xxxx corresponds to the desired ADC sampling rate. A

10-MHz signal can be brought into the CLKIN input to synchronize to external instruments. This is the

board default mode of operation.

5.2 Analog Input Options

The ADS54J60EVM allows for a differential analog input configuration in addition to the default using the

single-ended transformer coupled input. This option is described in the following section.

5.2.1 Differential Input

The analog input transformers can be bypassed in favor of a differential input source. This allows for a

wider range of input frequencies, including the possibility of DC coupling. To configure the EVM for a

differential analog input, remove R14, R15, C140, C141, and install R56, R58, C1, and C6 for Channel A.

For channel B, remove R16, R17, C157, C158, and install R54, R55, C7, and C12. For a DC coupled

application, swap the capacitors with 0-Ωresistors. The input signal must be biased to the required ADC

input common mode voltage.
