HARDWARE SETUP

SMAs:

J1 AIN1+ and J2 AIN1–: Differential Inputs for Channel 1.

Apply a differential signal to these SMA connectors from

a differential driver. There are 50Ω resistors at the end of

each transmission line that serve as termination for the

differential driver. These SMAs are positioned 0.8" apart

to accommodate LT C differential driver boards.

J3 AIN2+ and J4 AIN2–: Differential Inputs for Channel 2.

Apply a differential signal to these SMA connectors from

a differential driver. There are 50Ω resistors at the end of

each transmission lines that serve as termination for the

differential driver. These SMAs are positioned 0.8" apart

to accommodate LT C differential driver boards.

J5 ENC+: Positive Encode Clock Input. As a default the

demo board is populated to accept a single-ended clock

input from aDC1075Ademo board, or an equivalent CMOS

signal. For other population options see the Encode Clock

section of this manual.

J6 ENC–: Negative Encode Clock Input. As a default this

input port is grounded to accommodate the single ended

clock drive. For other population options see the Encode

clock section of this manual.

TURRETS:

V+ (TP5): Positive Input Voltage for the ADC and Digital

Buffers. This voltage feeds a regulator that supplies the

proper voltages for the ADC and buffers. The voltage range

for this turret is 4.5V up to 6V.

EXT REF (TP1): Optional Reference Programming Volt-

age. This pin is connected directly to the SENSE pin of

the ADC. If no external voltage is supplied this pin will be

pulled to VDD through a weak pull-up resistor. This will

select the ±1V input range. Connect to GND to select the

±0.5V input range, an external reference between 0.625V

and 1.3V will select an input range of ±0.8 • VSENSE.

GND (TP2, TP6, TP7): Ground Connection. This demo

board only has a single ground plane. One of these turrets

should be tied to the GND terminal of the power supply

being used. Extra GND pins are available for convenience

when probing.

VCM1 (TP3): Common-Mode Voltage for Channel 1. This

turret provides the common-mode voltage from the ADC

for channel 1. It is meant to be used to bias the common-

mode bias pin of the differential driver.

VCM2 (TP4): Common-Mode Voltage for Channel 2. This

turret provides the common-mode voltage from the ADC

for channel 2. It is meant to be used to bias the common-

mode bias pin of the differential driver.

JUMPERS:

The DC1975A demonstration circuit board should have

the following jumper settings as default positions (as per

Figure 1) which configures the ADC in serial programming

mode.Inthedefault configuration JP3-JP6shouldbeleftin

the default locations. This will pull those pins high through

weak pull-up resistors so that the SPI commands can be

sent from the PC. When JP2 is set to PAR, then jumpers

JP3-JP6 can be configured manually.

JP1 WP: EEPROM Write Protect. For factory use only.

Should be left in the enable (EN) position.

JP2 PAR/SER: Selects Parallel or Serial Programming

Mode. (Default: serial)

JP3 Duty Cycle Stab: In parallel programming mode

enables or disables duty cycle stabilizer. In serial program-

ming mode, pull up to VDD. (Default: Enable or pull up)

JP4 SHDN: In parallel programming mode enables or

disables LTC2270. In serial programming mode, pull up

to VDD. (Default: Enable or pull up)

JP5NAP:Inparallelprogrammingmode enables ordisables

NAP mode. In serial programming mode, pull up to VDD.

(Default: Enable or pull up)

JP6 LVDS/CMOS: In parallel programming mode selects

between LVDS or CMOS output signaling. In serial pro-

gramming mode, pull up to VDD. (Default: LVDS or pull

up). Note: In parallel mode CMOS mode must be selected.

LVDS mode not supported on the DC1975 demo board.

DEMO MANUAL DC1975A

ANALOG INPUT NETWORK

APPLYING POWER & SIGNALS TO THE DC1975 DEMONSTRATION

CIRCUIT

In the default setup both of the inputs are brought out to

SMA connectors so the demo board can be driven with

a differential source. The DC1975 is populated with no

filtering between the input SMAs and the ADC. There are

provisions for a custom filter to be designed and installed

between the off board driver and ADC.

A common-mode voltage is provided on turrets TP3 and

TP4 that can be used to bias the driver. If the driver is sup-

plying the common-mode voltage R10 and R20 should be

removed, and the common-mode voltage from the driver

can be connected on turrets TP3 and TP4.

In almost all cases, off-board filters will be required on the

analog inputs of the differential driver boards to achieve

data sheet SNR.

The off-board filters should be located close to the inputs

of the differential driver board 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.

Apply the analog input signal of interest to the SMA

connectors on the DC1975 demonstration circuit board

marked J1-J4.

If a DC890 is used to acquire data from the DC1975, the

DC890 must FIRST be connected to a powered USB port

or provided an external 6V to 9V BEFORE applying 4.5V to

6V across the pins marked V+ and GND on the DC1975.

DC1975 requires 4.5V for proper operation. Regulators

on the board produce the voltages required for the ADC.

The DC1975 demonstration circuit requires up to 300mA

depending on the sampling rate and the A/D converter

supplied.

The DC890 data collection board is powered by the USB

cable and does require an external power supply when

collecting data from an LVDS demo board. It must be

supplied an external 6V to 9V on turrets G7(+) and G1(–)

or the adjacent 2.1mm power jack.

DEMO MANUAL DC1975A

ENCODE CLOCKENCODE CLOCK

CLOCK NETWORK

Apply an encode clock to the SMA connector on the

DC1975A demonstration circuit board marked J5. As a

default, the DC1975A 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 DC1075A,

a demo board that divides a high frequency sine wave by

four, producing a low jitter square wave for best results

with the LTC2270.

Using a bandpass filter on the clock will improve the noise

performance by reducing the wideband noise power of the

signal. In the case of the DC1975, 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, nonharmonically related spurs and broadband

noise. Low phase noise Agilent 8644B generators are used

with TTE bandpass filters for both the clock input and the

analog inputs.

An internally generated conversion clock output is

available on P1, 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.

The clock network on the DC1975 can support a variety of

clock inputs. As a default it is populated to accept a single

ended square wave clock from a DC1075 or appropriate

signal generator. This will drive the ENC+ pin single ended

and the ENC– pin on the ADC is tied to GND.

When using a single-ended sine wave generator to drive

the encode input of the ADC, it is best to use a single-

ended-to-differential translation circuit. To modify the

DC1975 to accommodate this first move the 0Ω resistor

populated in position R26 to position R28, and move R27

and R37 to the R29 and R34 locations. This will direct

the signal through the transformer T1 which will do the

single ended to differential translation.

When using a PECL or LVDS clock you can drive the

DC1975 differentially through J5 and J6. From the default

population, remove the 0ohm resistor in the C32 position

and add the appropriate termination for your clock signal.

R24, R25, R32, R38 and R39 are available to provide the

proper termination for LVDS, PECL, or CML signaling.

Blocking capacitors can be installed in the R30 and R35

positions if the common-mode voltage of the clock is not

compatible with the LTC2270.

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\LT C \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 DC1975 demonstration circuit is properly connected

to the DC890, PScope should automatically detect the

DC1975A, and configure itself accordingly. If necessary,

the following procedure explains how to manually con-

figure PScope.

UndertheConfiguremenu, go to ADC Configuration. Check

the Config Manually box and use the following configura-

tion options (see Figure 2).

Manual Configuration Settings:

Bits: 16

Alignment: 16

FPGA Ld: CMOS

Channs: 2

Bipolar: Unchecked

Positive-Edge Clk: Unchecked

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 DC1975 board

serially through the DC890. There are several options

available in the LTC2270 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.
