TSW40RF8x Evaluation Module

1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

The TSW40RF8x EVM is a 2T2R RF sampling solution. The board includes the dual 9-GSPS DAC

(DAC38RF8x) and a dual, 14-bit, 3-GSPS ADC (ADC32RF45). The TSW40RF80 uses the DAC38RF80

device with integrated balun and the TSW40RF82 uses the DAC38RF82 device with differential output.

The board includes the required clocking solution needed for sampling the data converters.

TSW40RF8x Evaluation Module

4 Quick Start Procedure

4.1 Initial Configuration and DAC Output

Use the following for initial configuration and DAC output:

• Engage the 5-V supply; the initial current should be 1.6 ±0.2 A

• Launch the TSW40RF8x EVM GUI:

– Go to Start →Texas Instruments →TSW40RF8x GUI

NOTE: USB connection is possible only when the power is engaged to the board.

– If needed, press the Connect FTDI? button to establish the USB connection; pressing this button

multiple times may be necessary to get it to engage

• Select the DAC38RF8x tab →Quick Start tab

• Press the LOAD DEFAULT button

NOTE: This loads the file:

2T2R_RevC_ConstInput_12xDec_18xInt_2949p12M_4915p2Gb.cfg

This also loads the proper registers but does not back-fill the values to the ADC tab front

panel. To complete this task go to Low Level tab and press the Read All icon.

Read All does not back-fill the DAC NCO frequency value. If desired, manually go to the

DAC38RF8x tab →DAC38RF8x tab →Digital(DAC A/B) to change NCO Frequency(MHz)

to: 1960.

Read All does not load the actual ADC NCO frequency (the NCO value is loaded). To see

the frequency go to ADC32RFxx tab →ADC32RFxx tab →DDC Configuration tab. Place

cursor in the numerical value and hit a space then enter; the NCO frequency is then

calculated.

This file engages the DAC constant input feature to easily see an output tone without pattern

generation; this must be disengaged when sending a digital pattern to the DAC.

• Press the PLL AUTO TUNE button

• Verify:

– LED D4 and D5 illuminate

– 5-V supply current increases to 3.6 ±0.4 A

• Verify tone output on the spectrum analyzer exists at 1960 MHz at:

– TSW40RF80: –2 ±2 dBm

– TSW40RF82: 0 ±2 dBm

– Confirm yes to load firmware

• Change to Complex FFT

• Change to Channel 1/8

• Toggle the ADC Output Setup icon

– Click Enable? and Remember for this session

– Change the ADC Sampling rate to: 2949.12M

– Change the ADC Input Frequency to: 1960M

– Change NCO to: –1890M

– Change Decimation to: 12

– Press the OK button

• Press the Capture button

• Verify that LED D4 on TSW14J56 is blinking

• Verify tone capture in HSDC Pro similar to Figure 4

TSW40RF8x Evaluation Module

5.3.2 ini File Modification

• DAC ini files are the same as used by the DAC38RF8x EVM; modify parameter Transceiver Mode = 1

for transceiver mode, if desired.

• ADC ini files are the same as used by ADC32RFxx EVM; modify parameter Transceiver Mode = 1 for

transceiver mode, if desired.

5.4 ADC Clocking Options

Use the following steps for ADC clocking options:

1. Default clock mode: JP3, JP7, JP8 = [111]

• LMX2582 is the clock source for the ADC

2. LMK Clock: JP3, JP7, JP8 = [131]

• Add jumper at JP5 to disable the LMX device

• LMX04028 serves as ADC clock source

3. DAC Output Clock: JP3, JP7, JP8 = [311]

• Divided down RF DAC output clock used as ADC input clock

• Add jumper at JP5 to disable the LMX device

• Modify DAC clock output

– Select DAC38RF8x tab →DAC38RF8x tab →Clocking tab

– Verify the CLKTX divider is set to: /3

– Set Peak to Peak Swing to maximum: 1.4V

– Un-select the Sleep check box

4. External clock: JP3, JP7, JP8 = [113]

• Feed external clock at J8

• Add jumper at JP5 to disable the LMX device

5.5 DAC External Clocking Options

The DAC clock may be injected from an outside source.

NOTE: The DAC SysRef is still generated from the LMK so it must be set up properly for the desired

clock frequency.

• Inject external DAC clock at J1; set amplitude to 10 dBm, or greater.

• Modify the GUI on DAC38RF8x tab →DAC38RF8x tab →Clocking

– Check External Clock Select to engage Single-Ended clock input

– Un-check DAC PLL Settings →PLL Enable

5.7 Manual Software Adjustment

In general, the GUI software operates similar to the individual GUIs of the DAC38RF8x EVM and the

ADC32RFxx EVM. It is possible to operate in a manual mode following the procedure of the RF DAC and

RF ADC respectively; however, there are a few minor differences.

5.7.1 RF DAC Set-Up Conditions

The DAC PLL reference frequency is derived from the LMK VCO divided down outputs. This is the only

way to provide this reference; there is no option for external PLL reference.

5.7.2 RF ADC Set-Up Conditions

• ADC SysRef is generated through the LMK device so its VCO must be set to the desired clocking

frequency.

• Clock divider for the FPGA is calculated based on SerDes rate of the DAC.
