DEMO MANUAL DC1760A

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Applying Power and Signals To The FT996

Demonstration Circuit

If a DC890 is used to acquire data from the DC1760A, the

DC890 must first be connected to a powered USB port

or provided an external 6V to 9V before applying 3.0V to

6.0V across the pins marked +3.3V and GND, or 2.7V to

3.5V on the V_AMP pin on the DC1760A. The DC1760A

requires 3.3V on the ADC input for proper operation,

regulators on the board produce the voltages required

for the ADC. The voltage applied to the amplifier is not

regulated. The DC1760A demonstration circuit requires

up to 150mA on the ADC input depending on the sampling

rate and the A/D converter supplied, and up to 25mA on

the amplifier power input.

The DC890 data collection board is powered by the USB

cable and does not require an external power supply unless

it must be connected to the PC through an unpowered hub

in which case it must be supplied an external 6V to 9V on

turrets G7(+) and G1(–) or the adjacent 2.1mm power jack.

Analog Input Network

The DC1760A can be driven from a differential or single-

ended source. If the DC1760A is driven from asingle-ended

source applied to the AIN+ connector (J8), the equivalent

impedance characteristic should be seen on the AIN–

connector (J9). If there is a difference in the impedance

characteristic between the two input ports common mode

noise sources in the amplifier will translate to differential

mode noise and will raise the noise floor.

For optimal distortion and noise performance the filter

network can be optimized for different analog input fre-

quencies. Refer to the LTC6409 data sheet for information

on setting the gain and input impedance of the LTC6409.

In almost all cases, filters will be required on both analog

input and encode clock to produce maximum SNR. In the

case of the DC1760A the bandpass filter used for the clock

should be used prior to the DC1075A clock divide board.

The filters should be located close to the inputs to avoid

reflections from impedance discontinuities at the driven

end of a long transmission line. Most filters do not present

50Ω outside the passband. In some cases, 3dB to 10dB

pads may be required to obtain low distortion.

Encode Clock

Note: Apply an encode clock to the SMA connector on

the DC1760A demonstration circuit board marked J7.

As a default the DC1760A is populated to have a single-

ended input.

For the best noise performance, the encode input must

be driven with a very low jitter, square wave source. The

amplitude should be large, up to 3VP-P or 13dBm. When

using a sinusoidal signal generator a squaring circuit can

be used. Linear Technology also provides demo board

DC1075A that divides a high frequency sine wave by four,

producing a low jitter square wave for best results with

the LTC2261-14 ADC family.

Using bandpass filters on the clock and the analog input

will improve the noise performance by reducing the

wideband noise power of the signals. In the case of the

DC1760A a bandpass filter used for the clock should be

used prior to the DC1075A. Data sheet FFT plots are taken

with 10-pole LC filters made by TTE (Los Angeles, CA) to

suppress signal generator harmonics, non-harmonically

related spursand broadband noise.Low phasenoise Agilent

8644B generators are used with TTE bandpass filters for

both the clock input and the analog input.

Applythe analog input signal of interest to the SMA connec-

tors on the DC1760A demonstration circuit board marked

J5 and J3. This combo board is currently populated to

receive a differential signal.

An internally generated conversion clockoutput is available

on J1 which could be collected via a logic analyzer, or other

data collection system if populated with a SAMTEC MEC8-

150 type connector or collected by the DC890 QuikEval-II

Data Acquisition Board using PScope™ software.

QUICK START PROCEDURE

Figure 2. ADC Configuration

Software

The DC890 is controlled by the PScope system software

provided or downloaded from the Linear Technology

website at http://www.linear.com/software/. If a DC890

was provided, follow the DC890 Quick Start Guide and

the instructions below.

To start the data collection software if PScope.exe, is in-

stalled (by default) in \Program Files\LTC\PScope\, double

click the PScope icon or bring up the run window under

the start menu and browse to the PScope directory and

select PScope.

If the DC1760Ademonstration circuit is properly connected

to the DC890, PScope should automatically detect the

DC1760A, and configure itself accordingly. If necessary

the procedure below explains how to manually configure

PScope.

UndertheConfiguremenu, go to ADC Configuration.Check

the Config Manually box and use the following configura-

tion options, see Figure 2:

Figure 3: PScope Toolbar

Manual configuration settings:

Bits: 14

Alignment: 14

FPGA Ld: CMOS

Channs: 2

Bipolar: Un-checked

Positive-Edge Clk: Checked

If everything is hooked up properly, powered and a suit-

able convert clock is present, clicking the Collect button

should result in time and frequency plots displayed in

the PScope window. Additional information and help for

PScope is available in the DC890 Quick Start Guide and in

the online help available within the PScope program itself.

Serial Programming

PScope has the ability to program the DC1760A board

serially through the DC890. There are several options

available in the LTC2261-14 family that are only available

through serially programming. PScope allows all of these

features to be tested.

These options are available by first clicking on the “Set

Demo Bd Options” icon on the PScope toolbar (Figure 3).

This will bring up the menu shown in Figure 4.
