DEMO MANUAL DC1281A LTC2209 16-Bit, 160Msps/180Msps/ 185Msps ADCs DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuit 1281A supports a family of 16bit 160Msps/180Msps/185Msps ADCs. Each assembly features one of the following devices: LTC(R)2209, LTC2209#3BC, or LTC2209#3CD high speed, high dynamic range ADC. Other members of this family include the LTC2208 which is a 130Msps 16-bit version of this device. The LTC2208 is supported on the DC854 (CMOS) and the DC996 (LVDS). Lower speed, single-ended clock versions are also supported on the DC918 and DC919. Several versions of the 1281A demo board supporting the LTC2209 16-bit series of A/D converters are listed in Table 1. Depending on the required resolution, sample rate and input frequency, the DC1281A is supplied with the appropriate ADC and with an optimized input circuit. The circuitry on the analog inputs is optimized for analog input frequencies below 80MHz or from 80MHz to 160MHz. For higher input frequencies, contact the factory for support.

Refer to Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and follow the procedure below: DC1281A Demonstration Circuit Board Jumpers The DC1281A demonstration circuit board should have the following jumper settings as default: (as per Figure 1): J2: Mode (VCC) 2's Complement DCS Off Setup J3: SHDN: (Run) Dither (Off) If a DC890 QuikEvalTM II Data Acquisition and Collection System was supplied with the DC1281A demonstration circuit, follow the DC890 Quick Start Guide to install the required software and for connecting the DC890 to the DC1281A and to a PC.

DC1281A Setup (Zoom for Detail) dc1281af 2 DEMO MANUAL DC1281A QUICK START PROCEDURE Applying Power and Signals to the DC996 Demonstration Circuit If a DC890 is used to acquire data from the DC1281A, the DC890 must first be connected to a powered USB port or provided an external 6V to 9V before applying 3.3V or 3.6V across the pins marked +3.3V and PWR GND on the DC1281A. The LTC2209#3BC and LTC2209#3CD require 3.6V for proper operation. The DC1281A demonstration circuit requires up to 700mA depending on the sampling rate and the A/D converter supplied. The DC890 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. 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 160MHz use demonstration circuit 1281A. Other input networks may be more appropriate for input frequencies less that 5MHz. In almost all cases, filters will be required on both analog input and encode clock to provide data sheet SNR. 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: This is not a logic-compatible input. It is terminated with 50. Apply an encode clock to the SMA connector on the DC1281A demonstration circuit board marked J7 ENCODE INPUT. This is a transformer-coupled input, terminated on the secondary side in two steps, 100 at the transformer with final termination at the ADC at 100. For the best noise performance, the ENCODE INPUT must be driven with a very low jitter source. When using a sinusoidal generator, the amplitude should often be as large as possible, up to 3VP-P or 15dBm. Using bandpass filters on the clock and the analog input will improve the noise performance by reducing the wideband noise power of the signals. 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 DC1281A demonstration circuit board marked J5 ANALOG INPUT. These inputs are capacitive coupled to Balun transformers ETC1-1-13, or directly coupled through Flux-coupled transformers ETC1-1T. 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 QuikEvalII Data Acquisition Board using PScopeTM software. Software 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. 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. dc1281af 3 DEMO MANUAL DC1281A QUICK START PROCEDURE If the DC1281A demonstration circuit is properly connected to the DC890, PScope should automatically detect the DC1281A, 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: Manual configuration settings: Bits: 16 Alignment: 16 FPGA Ld: LVDS Channs: 1 Bipolar: Checked Positive-Edge Clk: Checked 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 DC890 Quick Start Guide and in the online help available within the PScope program itself.
