Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below: Setup If a DC890 USB data acquisition and collection system was supplied with the DC1620A demonstration circuit, follow the DC890 Quick Start Guide to install the required software and for connecting the DC890 to the DC1620A and to a PC. DC1620A Demonstration Circuit Board Jumpers The DC1620A demonstration circuit board should have the following jumper settings as default positions: (as per Figure 1) JP2-PAR/SER: Selects Parallel or Serial programming mode. (Default: Serial) JP3-Duty Cycle Stabilizer: Enables/Disable Duty Cycle Stabilizer. (Default: Enable) JP4-SHDN: Enables and disables the LTC2185/LTC2145. (Default: Enable) JP5-NAP: Enables and disables NAP mode (Default: disable) JP6-LVDS/CMOS: Selects between LVDS and CMOS output signaling. (Default: LVDS) Applying Power and Signals to the DC1620A Demonstration Circuit If a DC890 is used to acquire data from the DC1620A, the DC890 must first be connected to a powered USB port or provided an external 6V to 9V before applying +4.5V to +6.0V across the pins marked V+ and GND on the DC1620A. DC1620A requires 4.5V for proper operation. Regulators on the board produce the voltages required for the ADC. The DC1620A demonstration circuit requires up to 500mA depending on the sampling rate and the A/D converter supplied. The DC890 data collection board is powered by the USB cable and does require an external power supply when collecting data from an LVDS demo board. It must be supplied from an external 6V to 9V on turrets G7(+) and G1(-) or the adjacent 2.1mm power jack. dc1620afb 2 DEMO MANUAL DC1620A QUICK START PROCEDURE NAP PARALLEL/SERIAL PROGRAMMING MODE 4.5V TO 6V - V + ANALOG INPUT CHANNEL 1 ANALOG INPUT CHANNEL 2 PARALLEL DATA OUTPUT TO DC890 SHDN DUTY CYCLE STABILIZER LVDS/CMOS SINGLE-ENDED ENCODE CLOCK FROM DC1075 Figure 1. DC1620 Setup (Zoom for Detail) Analog Input Network For optimal distortion and noise performance, the RC network on the analog inputs may need to be optimized for different analog input frequencies. For input frequencies above 140MHz, refer to the respective ADC data sheet for a proper input network. Other input networks may be more appropriate for input frequencies less that 5MHz or above 140MHz. In almost all cases, filters will be required on both analog the input and encode clock to provide data sheet SNR. In the case of the DC1620A a bandpass filter used for the clock should be used prior to the DC1075 clock divider board. The filters should be located close to the inputs to avoid reflections from impedance discontinuities at the driven end of a long transmission line. Most filters do not present 50 outside the passband. In some cases, 3dB to 10dB pads may be required to obtain low distortion. If your generator cannot deliver full-scale signals without distortion, you may benefit from a medium power amplifier based on a Gallium Arsenide gain block prior to the final filter. This is particularly true at higher frequencies where IC-based operational amplifiers may be unable to deliver the combination of low noise figure and high IP3 point required. A high order filter can be used prior to this final amplifier, and a relatively lower Q filter used between the amplifier and the demo circuit. Encode Clock Note: Apply an encode clock to the SMA connector on the DC1620A demonstration circuit board marked J3. As a default, the DC1620A is populated to have a singleended input. For the best noise performance, the encode input must be driven with a very low jitter, square wave source. The amplitude should be large, up to 3VP-P or 13dBm. When using a sinusoidal signal generator a squaring circuit can be used. Linear Technology also provides demo board DC1075 that divides a high frequency sine wave by four, producing a low jitter square wave for best results with the LTC2185/LTC2145. dc1620afb 3 DEMO MANUAL DC1620A QUICK START PROCEDURE Using bandpass filters on the clock and the analog input will improve the noise performance by reducing the wideband noise power of the signals. In the case of the DC1620A a bandpass filter used for the clock should be used prior to the DC1075. Data sheet FFT plots are taken with 10-pole LC filters made by TTE (Los Angeles, CA) to suppress signal generator harmonics, non-harmonically related spurs and broadband noise. Low phase noise Agilent 8644B generators are used with TTE bandpass filters for both the clock input and the analog input. Apply the analog input signal of interest to the SMA connectors on the DC1620A demonstration circuit board marked J5 AIN+. These inputs are capacitive coupled to Balun transformers ETC1-1-13 (lead free part number: MABA007159-000000). An internally generated conversion clock output is available on J1 which could be collected via a logic analyzer, or other data collection system if populated with a SAMTEC MEC8150 type connector or collected by the DC890 QuikEvalTM-II data acquisition board using PScopeTM software. Figure 2: ADC Configuration Manual configuration settings: Bits: 16 Alignment: 16 FPGA Ld: DDR LVDS Channs: 2 Software Bipolar: Unchecked The DC890 is controlled by the PScope system software provided or downloaded from the Linear Technology website at http://www.linear.com/software/. If a DC890 was provided, follow the DC890 Quick Start Guide and the instructions below. Positive-Edge Clk: Checked To start the data collection software if "PScope.exe" is installed (by default) in \Program Files\LTC\PScope\, double click the PScope icon or bring up the run window under the start menu and browse to the PScope directory and select PScope. If the DC1620A demonstration circuit is properly connected to the DC890, PScope should automatically detect the DC1620A, and configure itself accordingly. If necessary the procedure below explains how to manually configure PScope. Under the Configure menu, go to ADC Configuration. Check the Config Manually box and use the following configuration options, see Figure 2: If everything is hooked up properly, powered, and a suitable convert clock is present, clicking the Collect button will result in time and frequency plots displayed in the PScope window. Additional information and help for PScope is available in the DC890 Quick Start Guide and in the online help available within the PScope program itself. Serial Programming PScope has the ability to program the DC1620A board serially through the DC890. There are several options available in the LTC2185 family that are only available through serially programming. PScope allows all of these features to be tested. These options are available by first clicking on the Set Demo Bd Options icon on the PScope toolbar (Figure 3). dc1620afb 4 DEMO MANUAL DC1620A QUICK START PROCEDURE * Nap - ADC core powers down while references stay active * Shutdown - The entire ADC is powered down Figure 3: PScope Toolbar This will bring up the menu shown in Figure 4.
