QUICK START PROCEDURE

Demonstration circuit 1525A is easy to set up to evaluate

the performance of the LTC2175 A/D converters. Refer to

Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and

follow this procedure.

Setup

If a DC1371 QuikEval™ II Data Acquisition and Collection

System was supplied with the DC1525A demonstration

circuit, follow the DC1371 Quick Start Guide to install the

required software and for connecting the DC1371 to the

DC1525A and to a PC.

DC1525A Demonstration Circuit Board Jumpers

The DC1525A demonstration circuit board should have

the following jumper settings as default positions: (as

per Figure 1).

J13: PAR/SER: Selects Parallel or Serial programming

mode. (Default – Serial)

Optional Jumpers:

J8: Term: Enables/Disable optional output termination.

(Default – Removed)

J5: ILVDS: Selects either 1.75mA or 3.5mA of output

current for the LVDS drivers. (Default – Removed)

J14: LANE: Selects either 1 lane or 2 lane output modes

(Default – Removed) NOTE: The DC1371 does not support

1 lane operation.

J15: SHDN: Enables and disables the LTC2175. (De-

fault–Removed)

J2: WP: Enable/Disables write protect for the EEPROM.

(Default – Removed)

Note: optional jumper should be left open to ensure proper

serial configuration.

Applying Power and Signals to the DC1525A

Demonstration Circuit

The DC1371 is used to acquire data from the DC1525A,

the DC1371 must FIRST be connected to a powered USB

port and have equal to 5V applied power BEFORE applying

3.6V to 6V across the pins marked V+and GND on the

DC1525A. DC1525A requires 3.6V for proper operation.

Regulators on the board produce the voltages required for

the ADC. The DC1525A demonstration circuit requires up

to 500mA depending on the sampling rate and the A/D

converter supplied.

The DC1525A should not be removed, or connected to

the DC1371 while power is applied.

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 frequen-

cies above 140MHz, refer to the LTC2175 data sheet for a

proper input network. 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

50Ω 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.

Apply the analog input signal of interest to the SMA con-

nectors on the DC1525A demonstration circuit board

marked J3 AIN1, J4 AIN2, J6 AIN3, J7 AIN4. These inputs

correspond with channels 1 to 4 of the ADC respectively.

These inputs are capacitive coupled to Balun transform-

ers ETC1-1-13.

Encode Clock

NOTE: Apply an encode clock to the SMA connector on

the DC1525A demonstration circuit board marked J11

CLK+. As a default the DC1525A is populated to have a

single-ended input.

For the best noise performance, the ENCODE INPUT must

be driven with a very low jitter, square wave source. The

amplitude should be large, up to 3VP-P or 13dBm. When

dc1525af

DEMO MANUAL DC1525A

using a sinusoidal signal generator a squaring circuit can

be used. Linear Technology also provides demo board

DC1075A that divides a high frequency sine wave by four,

producing a low jitter square wave for best results with

the LTC2175.

Using bandpass filters on the clock and the analog input

will improve the noise performance by reducing the

wideband noise power of the signals. In the case of the

DC1525A a bandpass filter used for the clock should be

used prior to the DC1075A. 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 Agi-

lent 8644B generators are used for both the Clock input

and the Analog input.

Digital Outputs

Data outputs, data clock, and frame clock signals are avail-

able on J1 of the DC1525A. This connector follows the

VITA-57/FMC standard, but all signals should be verified

when using an FMC carrier card other than the DC1371.

Software

The DC1371 is controlled by the PScope™ System Soft-

ware provided or downloaded from the Linear Technology

website at http://www.linear.com/software/.

To start the data collection software if PScope.exe is in-

stalled (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.

If the DC1525Ademonstration circuit is properly connected

to the DC1371, PScope should automatically detect the

DC1525A, and configure itself accordingly.

If everything is hooked up properly, powered and a suit-

able 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 DC1371 Quick Start Guide and in

the online help available within the PScope program itself.

Serial Programming

PScope has the ability to program the DC1525A board

serially through the DC1371. There are several options

available in the LTC2175 family that are only available

through serially programming. PScope allows all of these

features to be tested.

These options are available by first clicking on the Set

Demo Bd Options icon on the PScope toolbar (Figure 3).

This will bring up the menu shown in Figure 4.
