1. THS5671EVM Test with TSW1400EVM

2. Hardware Setup:
Connect power to both boards.
Connect a USB cable between TSW14J10EVM and a host PC.
Connect a mini-USB cable between J1 of the ZC706 and a host computer that has Vivado installed.
Provide a 50MHz, CMOS level clock to SMA J7 (cmos_clk) of the TSW1400EVM and J5 of the THS5671EVM. The clock sources must be synchronized. A splitter can be used but make sure the clock level at both boards is at the correct level.
Connect the data lines between the boards as shown in next slide

3. Hardware setup

4. Test Setup:
Single tone is given as input to the device. Data captured using HSDC Pro GUI
Test conditions:
LMK = Providing Msps Fs clock.
Fin = 70MHz
ADC using Mode 2, LPF with LMFS = 4421

5. Click on “OK” to connect to the TSW1400
Open HSDC Pro GUI.
Click on “OK” to connect to the TSW1400

6. Click on “OK”. Next, click on the “DAC” tab in the upper right of the GUI.

7. The DAC display opens. Next click on the drop down arrow in the “Select DAC” window in the left side of the GUI,

8. Select “cmos”, as shown below.

9. Click on “Yes” to load the FPGA firmware on the TSW1400

10. Click on “Yes” to load the FPGA firmware on the TSW1400

11. Enter the DAC sample rate in the “Data Rate (SPS) window, set the DAC Option to “Offset Bin”, and setup up the test tone in the IQ Multi-tone Generator section of the GUI (bottom left).
In this example, we are using a sample rate of 50MHz, and creating a single tone of 1MHz using 65,536 samples. The GUI will round this off based on the number of sample points used.

12. Click on “Send”. This will send a 997
Click on “Send”. This will send a KHz tone (shown below) to the DAC

13. Output tone from SMA J6. Note: You may have to delay the clock source either to the TSW1400 or THS5671EVM to get the data to meet setup and hold time at the DAC.
