DEMO MANUAL DC919A LTC2207, LTC2206, LTC2205, LTC2204, LTC2203, LTC2202, LTC2201 16-Bit/14-Bit 10Msps to 105Msps ADCs DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuit 919A supports members of a family of 16-bit/14-bit 10Msps to 105Msps ADCs. Each assembly features one of the following devices: LTC(R)2207, LTC2206, LTC2205, LTC2204, LTC2203, LTC2202, or LTC2201 high speed, high dynamic range ADCs. Other members of this family include the LTC2208/ LTC2208-14 16-bit/14-bit 130Msps ADC with LVDS outputs. These 9mm x 9mm QFN devices are supported by Demonstration circuit 854 (CMOS outputs) or by Demonstration circuit 996 (LVDS outputs). Several versions of the 919A demo board supporting a single-ended clock input, specifically targeted for use with the 25Msps LTC2203, 20Msps LTC2201 and 10Msps LTC2202 A/D converters, are listed in Table 1. LTC2204, LTC2205, LTC2206 and LTC2207 have differential clock inputs but use a single-ended clock input for evaluation with the DC input on the DC919A board. Depending on the required sample rate and input frequency, the DC919A is supplied with the appropriate ADC and with an optimized input circuit. The circuitry on the analog inputs is optimized for analog input frequencies from DC to 70MHz or from 1MHz to 70MHz if using the transformer coupled input. For higher input frequencies, contact the factory for support.

Square Wave Resolution See Table 1 Input Frequency Range See Table 1 SFDR See Applicable Data Sheet SNR See Applicable Data Sheet QUICK START PROCEDURE Demonstration circuit 919A is easy to set up to evaluate the performance of the LTC2207, LTC2206, LTC2205, LTC2204, LTC2203, or LTC2202 A/D converters. Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and follow this procedure: The DC718 data collection board is powered by the USB cable and does not require an external power supply unless it must be connected to the PC through an unpowered hub in which case it must be supplied an external 6V to 9V on turrets G7(+) and G1(-) or the adjacent 2.1mm power jack. Setup Encode Clock If a DC718 QuikEvalTM II Data Analysis and Collection System was supplied with the DC919A demonstration circuit, follow the DC718 Quick Start Guide to install the required software and for connecting the DC718 to the DC919A to a PC. NOTE: This is a logic compatible input, contrary to the majority of Linear Technology ADC demo boards. It is not terminated with 50. DC919A Demonstration Circuit Board Jumpers For the best noise performance, the ENCODE INPUT must be driven with a very low jitter source. A low jitter 3.3V oscillator with direct connection through a barrel is recommended. The DC919A demonstration circuit board should have the following jumper settings as default: (as per Figure 1) JP1: Output clock polarity: GND JP2: SENSE: VDD, (Internal reference) JP3: PGA: GND 2.25V range JP4: RAND: GND Not randomized JP5: SHDN: GND Not shutdown JP6: DITH: GND No internal dithering Applying Power and Signals to the DC919A Demonstration Circuit If a DC718 is used to acquire data from the DC919A, the DC718 must FIRST be connected to a powered USB port or provided an external 6V to 9V BEFORE applying 3.3V across the pins marked "+3.3V" and "PWR GND" on the DC919A. The DC919A demonstration circuit requires up to 500mA depending on the sampling rate and the A/D converter supplied. 2 Apply an encode clock to the SMA connector on the DC919A demonstration circuit board marked "J3 ENCODE INPUT". If using a sinusoidal generator, the amplitude should be as large as possible, up to 3VP-P or 13dBm, filtered and terminated with a 50 thru-terminator. If a generator with 50 output impedance is connected via a cable, it is recommended that a thru-terminator be used. However, below 15MHz, it is recommended that a square wave drive be used. If a sinusoidal ground referenced signal, or an AC-coupled signal is used, 1.5V to 1.7V DC bias must be introduced via a bias tee. DC919A has provision for a popular surface mount oscillator form and some population options to select this as the clock source. (Please see schematic.) If only sinusoidal or clipped sinusoid signal sources are available as the clock source for scenarios involving sampling rates less than 15Msps to 20Msps, it is recommended dc919af DEMO MANUAL DC919A QUICK START PROCEDURE Figure 1. DC919A Setup that a divide by 4 or divide by 8 be used. If the converter is to be used at very low sampling rates approaching the minimum, a higher divide ratio may be required. This is especially important if undersampling. If you want to use these converters at less than the minimum sampling rate, it is recommended that you run the ADC above the minimum rate, and decimate. If oversampling low frequencies, the use of a sinusoid is potentially acceptable, but it must be very clean or the low dV/dt will result in a great sensitivity to wideband noise in the clock driver. The use of a divider may require a bandpass filter prior to the divider in order to achieve best SNR as the divider can exaggerate phase noise if it is sensitive to GHz frequencies. Contact Linear Technology for recommendations or in some cases, available clock sources or dividers. Most generators require filtering or they will compromise both the SNR and the SFDR of the ADCs. Generally 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 broad band noise. Low phase noise Agilent 8644B generators are used with TTE band pass filters for both the Clock input and the Analog input. In the case of the LTC2203/LTC2202/LTC2201 we use a divide by 4. This demo board is, populated by default for the DC input path. There is a transformer mounted at T1, but C4, C6, R9 and R13 are not populated. If a single-ended AC input is required, the DC input paths must be disconnected by removing R26, 27, 31 and 32, and the above components installed. dc919af 3 DEMO MANUAL DC919A QUICK START PROCEDURE If the transformer input is required, C4 and C6 should be 0.1F X5R 0402, R9 and R13 should be 10 0402 resistors. Note that this transformer (ETC1-1T) is poor below 1MHz. Technology website at http://www.linear.com/software/. If a DC718 was provided, follow the DC718 Quick Start Guide and the instructions below. Reduced amplitude signals can be applied to 300kHz. Applications below 300kHz must be driven directly via DC inputs. If data is to be collected by a logic analyzer, pin 40 must be strapped to OVDD or 2.5V. As there are a significant number of these boards that are customized, please confirm the population of your board. The schematic below shows the default population, the photograph shows the population of a transformer coupled version. This board may also be populated with LTC2204-2207 for DC drive applications, in which case, R33 is a 0.1F capacitor. 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. Apply the analog input signal of interest to the SMA connector on the DC919A demonstration circuit board marked "J2 ANALOG INPUT". These inputs are capacitive coupled to a Flux coupled transformers ETC1-1T. In some cases, where these devices are to be used in undersampling scenarios, this transformer should be replaced with an ETC1-1-13 Balun. The DC919A can be modified for direct DC drive from a suitable differential signal source. (Please see schematic.) If the DC919A demonstration circuit is properly connected to the DC718, PScope should automatically detect the DC919A, 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: User configure 16-Bit (or 14-Bit if using -14 versions) This may be done by yourself or at special request when you order the demo board. Alignment: Left-16 If the DC input paths are populated with low value (5.1) resistors at both ends of these transmission lines, you must provide a reasonably well balanced differential drive with 1.25V common mode. Positive clock edge The spacing of these SMA connectors (0.8") allows them to be mated directly with demo boards for devices such as the LT1993, LT1994, LT5514 and others. It is not recommended to drive this ADC in a single-ended fashion into a single DC input. An internally generated conversion clock output is available on pin 3 of J1 and the data samples are available on Pins 7 to 37 of J1 which can be collected via a logic analyzer, cabled to a development system through a SHORT 2 to 4 inch long 40-pin ribbon cable or collected by the DC718 QuikEval II Data Acquisition Board using the PScopeTM System Software provided or down loaded from the Linear Bipolar (2's complement) Type: CMOS If everything is hooked up properly, powered and a suitable convert clock is present, clicking the Collect button should result in time and frequency plots displayed in the PScope window. Additional information and help for PScope is available in the DC718 Quick Start Guide and in the online help available within the PScope program itself. Analog Input Network For optimal distortion and noise performance the RC network on the analog inputs should be optimized for different analog input frequencies. At this point in time, the circuit in Figure 3 for input frequencies below 70MHz. For input frequencies from 70MHz to 140MHz, the circuit in Figure 2 is used. These two input networks cover a dc919af 4 DEMO MANUAL DC919A QUICK START PROCEDURE broad bandwidth and are not optimized for operation at a specific input frequency. 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. In almost all cases, filters will be required on both analog input and encode clock to provide data sheet SNR. Narrow band high-Q filters may produce poor SNR results with Dither enabled. 10% bandpass would be preferred over 5% bandpass on the analog input. 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. For advice on drive circuits or for input frequencies greater than 70MHz contact the factory for support. For input frequencies less than 5MHz, or greater than 150MHz, other input networks may be more appropriate. Please consult the factory for suggestions on drivers and networks if your signal sources extend outside these ranges, or if you experience difficulties driving these suggested networks. In cases with long transmission lines, 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 50 VCM 2.2F 0.1F 10 ANALOG INPUT 25 0.1F AIN+ 5 LTC2203/ LTC2202 0.1F T1 1:1 4.7pF 25 10 5 AIN- T1 = MA/COM ETC1-1-13.
