2.2.2.1 Clock Option 1

The Clock Option 1 provides a clock to ADC directly from an external source. For the direct supply of the clock to the ADC, a single-ended square or sinusoidal clock input must be applied to J19. The clock frequency must be within the maximum frequency specified for the ADC. The clock input is converted to a differential signal by a Mini-Circuits™ ADT4-1WT, which has an impedance ratio of 4, implying that voltage applied on J19 is stepped up by a factor of 2. ADC performance in this case depends on the clock source quality. This option is also the default configuration on the EVM, when it is shipped from the factory. The test result using this option is shown in Figure 5-2.
