Note: Do not turn on power supply until all connections to the device are made to the board.
The procedures listed below are the steps for a quick-start set-up using channel 1.
- Set one channel of the DC power supply to output
a -2.5 V voltage and set the current limit to 100 mA. After making sure that
this channel is disabled, connect VEE via TP2 to this supply.
- Set one channel of the DC power supply to output
a +2.5 V voltage and set the current limit to 100 mA. After making sure that
this channel is disabled, connect VCC via TP3 to this supply.
- Connect common ground of the DC power supply to
SYS_GND via TP1.
- Ground the inverting input, IN1-, to ground to
establish the threshold for the comparator at 0 V.
- Verify that cables connecting to IN1+_SENSE,
OUT1+, and OUT1- are matched length and impedance. Perform any de-skewing if
necessary. Set the function generator (50-Ω terminated) to produce a square wave
output with 400mVpp at 10 MHz, with a 0 V DC offset. Disable the signal
generator output. Connect the signal generator output to IN1+.
- Connect IN1+ SENSE, to a 50-Ω terminated scope channel.
- Connect OUT1+ and OUT1- to 50-Ω terminated channels on the oscilloscope.
- Enable the DC power supply.
- Verify the total supply current is < 60 mA.
- Enable the signal generator.
- Monitor and verify the input from IN1+_SENSE.
- Monitor and verify the outputs for OUT1+ and OUT1-.
Next, is a scope shot capture of the inputs and
outputs described in the propagation delay procedure. High to Low propagation delay
is defined as when the signal generator input (IN+) reaches 0 V to when OUT- reaches
0 V. The propagation delay was measured at approximately 220 ps with the setup
described.
