The following instructions are a
step-by-step guide to connecting the ADS9817EVM to the computer and evaluating the
performance of the ADS9817. The same steps can be used for setting up the
ADS9813EVM.
- Review the default jumper
settings in Figure 2-1 and the power guidelines in Section 2.5.1.
- Physically connect J1 of the
TSWDC155EVM to J27 of the ADS9817EVM. This component is the digital
communications and power signal connection in default configuration.
- Set jumper J18 to the FMC_PWR
position so the TSWDC155EVM provides power. Otherwise, set J18 to EXT_PWR and
connect an external 5.2V to 5.5V supply on screw terminal connection J17.
- Bypass any external USB hub and
connect the USB on the TSWDC155EVM directly to the computer.
- Install the GUI as described in
Section 3.1.
- Install the necessary USB drivers
as described in Section 3.1.1.
- Launch the GUI.
- For ADS9817EVM and GUI, press the
Initialize USB, Power Up, Program FPGA, and
Initialize ADS98xx buttons, in order from top to bottom, on the
Config tab to power up and configure the EVM, (see Section 3.2.1 for details).
The steps for
ADS9813EVM and GUI can be found in Section 3.3.1.
- Connect a 10VPP,
single-ended sine wave signal from a function generator to any AINxP SMA input
connector.
- Press the EN SYNC button
on the Capture tab.
- Select the number of samples to
be at least 32k points, and choose the Hanning window type for best frequency
domain results.
- Press the Start Capture
button to collect and analyze the data displayed on the appropriate CHx tab; see
Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 for more details.
