User's Guide SBAU162A – December 2009 – Revised September 2010 ADS1675REF ADS1675REF This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADS1675REF reference design board. This reference design board (REF) is an evaluation platform for the ADS1675, a 4MSPS, high-speed, high-precision, 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADS1675REF allows evaluation of all aspects of the ADS1675 device.

Overview www.ti.com 2 Overview 2.
Power-Supply Requirements www.ti.com The SDRAM controller code is preloaded within the FPGA. The ADCPro software works with the USB 2.0 driver in the ADS1675REF environment, so that 8M, 24-bit sampled ADC data can be captured and saved in the SDRAM per single acquisition in order to allow the FPGA processor to do post-data processing or transfer the test data continually through the FPGA, SDRAM, and USB interface into a PC processor for further data processing.
Analog Interface www.ti.com 3.2 Analog +5V Supply The ADS1675REF board requires an independent analog +5V supply to power the analog portion of the device under test, the external reference, and the external reference buffer, as well as provide the amplifier common-mode voltage. This voltage is applied to J5 pin 3 and is denoted as +5VA. This supply can be monitored at TP7. 3.
Digital Interface www.ti.com To maximize the dynamic range of the THS4503 and reduce the THD impact from this amplifier, +9V and –4V are used for this THS4503. This configuration gives a maximum ±6.5V swing range. Figure 1 illustrates the typical analog input section of the ADS1675REF. C12 Not Installed R13 249W +VCC Not Installed VSC72 C38 10mF C37 0.

ADS1675REF Plug-in Operation 7 www.ti.com ADS1675REF Plug-in Operation This section provides information on using the ADS1675REF Plug-in, including setup, program installation, and program usage. The board is factory-configured for the analog input driver THS4503 with +9V and –4V supplies and the shared analog, digital, and XEM3010 board with a +5VA supply on the ADS1675. Table 2 lists the default jumper setup. Table 2.
ADS1675REF Plug-in Operation www.ti.com The software should now be installed, but the USB drivers may not have been loaded by the PC operating system. The USB driver upload step completes when the ADCPro software is executed (see Section 7.2, Running the Software and Completing the Driver Installation). 7.2 Running the Software and Completing the Driver Installation NOTE: The software is continually under development.
ADS1675REF Plug-in Operation space Step 2. www.ti.com Select ADS1675REF from the REF drop-down menu. The ADS1675REF plug-in appears in the left pane, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4. ADS1675REF Plug-in Display Window Step 3. The ADS1675REF plug-in window has a status area at the top of the screen. When the plug-in is first loaded, the plug-in searches for the board. You will see a series of messages in the status area that indicate this action, such as Connected (as Figure 5 illustrates). Figure 5.

When Windows installs the software driver, the plug-in downloads the firmware to the XEM3010. Windows will display the installation wizard a second time. Again, accept the default settings. The status area displays a connected message. The software is now ready to use.
ADS1675REF Plug-in Operation www.ti.com 7.3 Evaluating with the ADCPro Software The evaluation software is based on ADCPro, a program that operates using a variety of plug-ins. To use ADCPro, you must load both a REF plug-in and a test plug-in. To load a REF plug-in, select it from the REF menu. To load a test plug-in, select it from the Test menu. To unload a plug-in, select the Unload option from the corresponding menu. Only one of each type of plug-in (REF and Test) can be loaded at a time.
ADS1675REF Plug-in Operation www.ti.com Figure 12. Six Default Data Rates for LVDS Figure 13. Four Default Data Rates for CMOS Choose a test to run from the Test menu. In the example shown in Figure 14, the MultiFFT test was chosen. Figure 14.
Schematic and Bill of Materials www.ti.com Press the Acquire button. Depending on the size of the sample set captured and the speed for which the ADS1675 is configured, the time required to display the data in the screen varies. Figure 15 shows the results of a 1MSPS sample rate in CMOS mode with the wide-bandwidth filter selected. Figure 15.
