DEMO MANUAL DC919A
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 919A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC2207, LTC2206, LTC2205,
LTC2204, LTC2203, or LTC2202 A/D converters. Refer to
Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and
follow this procedure:
Setup
If a DC718 QuikEval™ II Data Analysis and Collection
System was supplied with the DC919A demonstration
circuit, follow the DC718 Quick Start Guide to install the
required software and for connecting the DC718 to the
DC919A to a PC.
DC919A Demonstration Circuit Board Jumpers
The DC919A demonstration circuit board should have
the following jumper settings as default: (as per Figure 1)
JP1: Output clock polarity: GND
JP2: SENSE: VDD, (Internal reference)
JP3: PGA: GND 2.25V range
JP4: RAND: GND Not randomized
JP5: SHDN: GND Not shutdown
JP6: DITH: GND No internal dithering
Applying Power and Signals to the DC919A
Demonstration Circuit
If a DC718 is used to acquire data from the DC919A, the
DC718 must FIRST be connected to a powered USB port
or provided an external 6V to 9V BEFORE applying 3.3V
across the pins marked “+3.3V” and “PWR GND” on the
DC919A. The DC919A demonstration circuit requires up
to 500mA depending on the sampling rate and the A/D
converter supplied.
The DC718 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.
Encode Clock
NOTE: This is a logic compatible input, contrary to the
majority of Linear Technology ADC demo boards. It is not
terminated with 50Ω.
Apply an encode clock to the SMA connector on the DC919A
demonstration circuit board marked “J3 ENCODE INPUT”.
For the best noise performance, the ENCODE INPUT
must be driven with a very low jitter source. A low jitter
3.3V oscillator with direct connection through a barrel is
recommended.
If using a sinusoidal generator, the amplitude should be
as large as possible, up to 3V
P-P
or 13dBm, filtered and
terminated with a 50Ω thru-terminator. If a generator
with 50Ω output impedance is connected via a cable, it
is recommended that a thru-terminator be used. However,
below 15MHz, it is recommended that a square wave
drive be used.
If a sinusoidal ground referenced signal, or an AC-coupled
signal is used, 1.5V to 1.7V DC bias must be introduced
via a bias tee.
DC919A has provision for a popular surface mount oscil-
lator form and some population options to select this as
the clock source. (Please see schematic.)
If only sinusoidal or clipped sinusoid signal sources are
available as the clock source for scenarios involving sam-
pling rates less than 15Msps to 20Msps, it is recommended
