This user’s guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADC354x evaluation module (EVM). This user's guide discusses how to set up and configure the software and hardware, and reviews various aspects of the program operation. Throughout this document, the terms evaluation board, evaluation module, and EVM are synonymous with the ADC354xEVM. In the following sections of this document, the ADC354x evaluation board is referred to as the EVM and the ADC354x device is referred to as the ADC device.

The ADC354xEVM is an evaluation board used to evaluate the ADC354x analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Texas Instruments. The ADC354xEVM is a single-channel, 14-bit ADC that can operate up to 10, 25, 65, or 125 Mega-samples per second (MSPS) for the ADC3541, ADC3542, ADC3543, and ADC3544 respectively. The output data is transmitted over 1.8-V CMOS logic.
The TSW1400EVM captures the CMOS output data, and uploads to a connected PV through a USB interface for analysis. The High-Speed Data Converter Pro (HSDC Pro) software on the PC communicates with the hardware and processes the data.
This section describes how to setup the EVM on the bench with the proper equipment to evaluate the full performance of the ADC device.
Ensure that jumper J8 is shunted in the 2-3 position. This allows 5 V to be supplied to the ADC354xEVM through the mini-USB connector.
If an external 5-V supply is desired, J8 must be shunted in the 1-2 position, and the external 5 V can be connected to the test point labeled "+5 EXT".
