2.2 Required Equipment

The following equipment and documents are included in the EVM evaluation kit:

  • Evaluation board (EVM)
  • Mini-USB cable
  • Power cable

The following equipment is not included in the EVM evaluation kit, but is required for evaluation of this product:

  • TSW14DL3200EVM data capture board and related items
  • HSDC Pro software
  • Computer (PC) running the Microsoft® Windows® operating system (XP, 7, 8, or 10)
  • One low-noise signal generator for analog input. TI recommends the following generators:
    • Keysight™ E8663D
    • Rohde & Schwarz® SMA100A or SMA100B
  • Bandpass filter for analog input signal (2482 MHz or desired frequency). The following filters are recommended:
    • Bandpass filter (BPF):
      • Greater than or equal to 60-dB harmonic attenuation
      • Less than or equal to 5% bandwidth
      • Greater than 18-dBm power
      • Less than 5-dB insertion loss
    • Trilithic™ 5VH-series tunable BPF
    • K&L Microwave™ BT-series tunable BPF
    • TTE KC6 or KC7-series fixed BPF
  • Signal-path cables, SMA or BNC (or both SMA and BNC)

By default, the ADC12DLXX00EVM has an onboard clocking solution. A few small board modifications enable external clocking. If external clocking is used, the following additional equipment is recommended.

  • One low-noise signal generator. TI recommends models similar to the analog input source.
  • A bandpass filter for the DEVCLK input. TI recommends a filter similar to the analog-input path filter.
