Test ADS5295 8 www.ti.com Test ADS5295 This section describes how to test the ADS5295 device in two ways: Time Domain and Single Tone. 8.1 Step 1: Time Domain Time Domain test consists of applying a RAMP function to the ADC inputs, capturing, and verifying that every ADC code is generated incrementally. • Select Test Pattern tab. • In the TEST PATTERN MODES section, select RAMP PATTERN in the Enable Pattern Mode drop down menu.
Test ADS5295 www.ti.com • On the ADC tab of the High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI, select Time Domain from the Test Selection drop down menu as shown in Figure 10. Figure 10. Time Domain Test • • Input the appropriate ADC Sampling Rate (80 MHz in the default configuration of ADS5295 EVM) . Press the Capture button.
Test ADS5295 • www.ti.com A saw tooth ramp should be captured as shown below. Figure 11.
Test ADS5295 www.ti.com • Use the zoom functions provided in the High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI to verify that the captured RAMP is correct. Figure 12.
Test ADS5295 • www.ti.com Zoom in on the RAMP until it is clear that every subsequent sample is an increment in ADC code as shown below. Figure 13.
Test ADS5295 www.ti.com • Repeat the above procedure for all eight ADC channels using the selection box shown in Figure 14. Figure 14.
Test ADS5295 8.2 www.ti.com Step 2: Single Tone FFT The Single Tone test consists of applying a sine wave from an external signal generator to an ADC input, capturing, and analyzing performance. • Disable the RAMP PATTERN by setting the Enable Pattern Mode to None. Figure 15.
Test ADS5295 www.ti.com • • • Set the Test Selection to Single Tone. Set the ADC Input Target Frequency to 1M (Note: the value automatically changes to the exact coherent frequency once the Auto Calculation box is checked) . Check the box labeled Auto Calculation of Coherent Frequencies. Figure 16.
Test ADS5295 • • • • • • www.ti.com Connect Channel 1 of the ADS5295EVM to a signal generator through a band-pass filter (BPF). If no BPF is present, the results are not good. The amplitude of the input signal is dependent on the insertion loss of the filter and cables used as well as the desired backoff from full-scale. An iterative approach is used to determine the amplitude setting required to operate at approximately -1.0 dBFS. In this test setup, the amplitude was set to +18.4 dBm.
