Evaluation Optimization

SNAU224–March 2018

ADC117x Evaluation Module

3 Evaluation Optimization

3.1 Clocking Optimization

The sampling clock provided to the ADC needs to have very low phase noise to achieve optimal results.

The default EVM configuration uses a crystal oscillator to generate the sampling clock. Another option to

improve the clock noise performance is bypassing the onboard clock in favor of an external clock. The

clock must have very low noise and must use an external narrow pass-band filter to achieve optimal noise

performance.

3.2 Coherent Input Source

ARectangular window function can be applied to the captured data when the sample rate and the input

frequency are set precisely to capture an integer number of cycles of the input frequency (sometimes

called coherent frequency). This may yield better SNR results. The clock and analog inputs must be

frequency locked (such as through 10-MHz references) in order to achieve coherency.

3.3 HSDC Pro Settings

HSDC Pro has some settings that can help improve the performance measurements. These are

highlighted in Table 4.

Table 4. HSDC Pro Settings for Optimizing Results

HSDC Pro Feature Description

Analysis Window (Samples) Selects the number of samples to include in the selected test analysis. Collect

more data to improve frequency resolution of Fast-Fourier Transform (FFT)

analysis. If more than 65,536 samples are required, increase the setting in the

Data Capture Options to match this value.

Data Windowing Function Select the desired windowing function applied to the data for FFT analysis.

Select Blackman when sampling a non-coherent input signal or Rectangle

when sampling a coherent input signal.

Test Options →Notch Frequency Bins Select bins to be removed from the spectrum and back-filled with the average

noise level. May also customize which Harmonics and Spurs are considered

in SNR and THD calculations and select the method for calculating spur

power.

Test Options →Bandwidth Integration Markers Enable markers to narrow the Single-Tone FFT test analysis to a specific

bandwidth.

Data Capture Options →Capture Options Configure the number of contiguous samples per capture (capture depth).

May also enable Continuous Capture and FFT Averaging

4 Alternate Hardware Configurations

This section describes alternate hardware configurations in order to achieve better results or to more

closely mimic the user's system configuration.

4.1 Clocking Options

The default clocking mode uses an onboard oscillator, and clock splitter, to generate the ADC sampling

clock and FPGA clocks.

4.1.1 External Clock

To use an external source to provide the clock signal, shunt JP2 (2-3) and remove the jumper on JP7.

Connect the external clock source to J3.

4.1.2 Clock Splitter Bypass

The clock splitter, U3, receives the clock signal, from the either the onboard oscillator or external source,

and then distributes the clock to the ADC and the FPGA. If desired, the clock splitter signal to the ADC

can be bypassed by shunting JP3 (1-2) and JP5 (1-3).

Alternate Hardware Configurations

ADC117x Evaluation Module

4.2 Voltage Reference Options

The default reference voltage is set by tying both VRT and VRTS (the upper reference voltage limit), and

VRB and VRBS (the lower reference voltage limit), to ground via JP6 (shunt 2-3) and JP9 (shunt 2-3).

This configuration provides ADC reference voltages of 1.56 V to 0.36 V for the ADC1173EVM and 2.6 V to

0.6 V for the ADC1175EVM and ADC1175-50EVM.

NOTE: The analog input op amp (OPA830) has been set to provide a known DC offset (0.96 V for

the ADC1173EVM and 1.6 V for the ADC1175EVM and ADC1175-50EVM). Modifying the

reference voltages will require modifying the DC offset to ensure that the analog input signal

is within the bounds of the references.

4.2.1 External Voltage Reference

An external voltage reference can be used to supply the reference voltage to the ADC. For this option,

jumper VRT (JP9) and VRB (JP6) must be pulled out and left OPEN. If the desired voltage references are

1.5 V and 0.5 V, apply the top voltage reference (1.5 V) at the test point VRTP (TP5) and bottom

reference (0.5 V) at VRBP (TP6). Change jumpers JP9 and JP8 to shunt 1-2.
