This is the Design Package for the ADC1xDxxxx(RF)RB.  One PCB has been designed to accomodate the following Reference Boards:
	* ADC12D2000RFRB
	* ADC12D1800RFRB
	* ADC12D1600RFRB
	* ADC12D800RFRB
	* ADC12D1800RB
	* ADC12D1600RB
	* ADC10D1500RB

The FPGA source files are provided for each project.  For the RF and non-RF versions of the same speed grade, the FPGA code is identical:
	* ADC12D2000RFRB
	* ADC12D1800RFRB / ADC12D1800RB
	* ADC12D1600RFRB / ADC12D1600RB
	* ADC12D800RFRB
	* ADC10D1500RB

This version of the Reference Boards uses the LMX2541. Earlier versions of reference boards have the LMX2531 on-board.  The LMX2531 will generally 
give better performance because it has lower wide-band phase noise than the LMX2541.  In order to check the best possible performance of the ADC,
it is possible also to use an external clock source.  For example, use a low-phase noise clock such as a R&S SMA100A + bandpass filter for the clock.

For evaluation software, download and install WaveVision5 from the TI website.  The first time the board is plugged in, it should install
the necessary drivers for the board.  For additional instructions on installing the driver, see the WaveVision5 website.
