The following instructions are a step-by-step guide to connecting the ADS9212EVM to the computer and evaluating the performance of the ADS9212.
- Review the default jumper settings in Figure 2-1 below and the power guidelines in Section 2.2.1.
- Physically connect J1 of the TSWDC155EVM to J19 of the ADS9212EVM. This component is the digital communications and power signal connection in default configuration.
- Set jumper JP4 to the FMC_PWR position so the
TSWDC155EVM provides power. Otherwise, set JP4 to EXT_PWR and connect an
external 5.2V to 5.5V supply on screw terminal connection J1.
- Bypass any external USB hub and connect the USB on the TSWDC155EVM directly to the computer.
- Install the GUI as described in Section 3.1.
- Install the necessary USB drivers as described in
Section 3.2.
- Launch the GUI.
- Press the Initialize USB, Power Up,
Program FPGA, and Initialize ADS92xx buttons, in order from
top to bottom, on the CONFIG tab to power up and configure the EVM, (see
Section 3.3 for details).
- Connect a 10VPP, single-ended sine
wave signal from a function generator to any AINxP SMA input connector.
- On the Capture tab, select the number of
samples to be at least 32k points, and choose the Hanning window type for best
frequency domain results.
- Press the Start Capture button to collect
and analyze the data displayed on the appropriate CHx tab; see Figure 3-6.
