User's Guide SLWU079C–March 2012–Revised January 2014 TSW140x High Speed Data Capture/Pattern Generator Card The Texas Instruments TSW1400 Evaluation Module (EVM) is a next generation of pattern generator and data capture card used to evaluate performances of a wide range of Texas Instruments (TI) high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC). For an ADC, capturing the sampled data over an LVDS interface when using a high-quality, low-jitter clock, and a high-quality input frequency, the TSW1400 can be used to demonstrate data sheet performance specifications. Together with the accompanying LabVIEW™ based High Speed Data Converter Pro Graphic User Interface (HSDC Pro GUI), it is a complete system that captures and evaluates data samples from ADC EVMs and generates and sends desired test patterns to DAC EVMs. The TSW1405 is a low cost data capture card with limited capabilities as compared with the TSW1400. The TSW1405 supports pattern capture for most LVDS format TI ADC EVMs, but with a capture buffer limitation of 64K samples. The TSW1405 draws its power from the USB connection to the PC for easy setup and operation. HSDC Pro GUI supports the TSW1405 as well, making for a consistent feel across the different platforms. The TSW1406 is a low cost pattern generator card with limited capabilities as compared with the TSW1400. The TSW1406 supports pattern generation for most LVDS format TI DAC EVMs, but with a pattern limitation of 64K samples. The TSW1406 draws its power from the USB connection to the PC for easy setup and operation. HSDC Pro GUI supports the TSW1406 as well. This document describes the hardware aspect of the TSW140x EVMs along with a few quick start examples of how to use these boards with ADC and DAC EVMs. For a thorough explanation of the operation of the GUI, download the HSDC Pro GUI User's Guide (SLWU087) from the TI website.

1.1 ADC EVM Data Capture
Many TI high-speed ADCs have LVDS outputs for the digitized data. These ADCs are generally available on an EVM that connects directly to the TSW1400EVM. The common connector between the ADC EVM and the TSW1400EVM is a Samtec high-speed connector with differential pairs routed to adjacent pins and the pairs separated by a ground pin. A common pinout for the connector across a family of EVMs has been established. At present, the interface between the ADC EVM and the TSW1400EVM has defined connections for 35 pairs of LVDS data lines, two clock pairs, and eight general purpose CMOS I/O pins. The TSW1400 has a CMOS interface that provides 44 single ended connections to a two row, 88 pin, 100 mil center, female header style connector. The data format for the LVDS data bus can be in one of many formats, all supported by the TSW1400. For single-channel, high-speed ADCs, the data format is commonly a parallel dual-data rate with one output clock . Dual-data rate means that both the rising and falling edges of the clock register data into the TSW1400. For multichannel ADCs, the data is commonly presented in a serialized format, where individual bits of the output data are presented on an LVDS pair one bit at a time, at a higher data rate than the sample rate of the ADC. Several firmware files are used by the FPGA on the TSW1400 to accommodate both parallel DDR formats an serial LVDS formats, although not at the same time. The GUI will load the FPGA with the appropriate firmware based on the ADC EVM under test selected by the user. The parallel DDR FPGA program supports several types of data formats. One common format presents odd-numbered data bits on the bus on one clock edge and even-numbered data bits on the bus on the other clock edge. This format is commonly used for ADCs with sampling rates up to 250 MHz. For this bit- wise DDR format, the parallel data bus uses half as many LVDS pairs as there are bits in the sample. For example, a 16-bit ADC uses eight LVDS pairs for data plus an LVDS clock pair for bit-wise DDR. For higher sample rates up to 1 GHz, a sample-wise DDR format is often used. For sample-wise DDR, the data bus width has as many LVDS pairs as the bit resolution of the ADC. On one clock edge, a data sample from the ADC is registered; on the next clock edge, the next data sample from the ADC is registered. The serial FPGA program also supports several data formats. For one-wire serial formats, the data is serialized onto a single LVDS pair at a rate that is 12 times the sample rate for an ADC with a 12-bit resolution. A one-wire serialization format also is used for 14-bit and 16-bit data at data rates 14 or 16 times the sample rate, respectively. For serial data formats, a DDR LVDS bit clock is used to strobe the serial data bits and to de-serialize the data. An additional clock pair operating at the sample rate of the ADC identifies the sample-word boundaries in the serial data. For multichannel ADCs, a single-bit clock and a single sample-rate clock (frame clock) is used for all of the LVDS data channels. The other common serial data format is two-wire serialization. Two-wire serialization is similar to one-wire serialization except that a data channel uses two LVDS pairs to carry the serialized data at a rate that is half of what it is for one-wire serialization.
1.2 DAC EVM Pattern Generator
Some TI high-speed DAC’s have LVDS inputs for the digitized data. These DACs are generally available on an EVM that connects directly to the TSW1400EVM. The common connector between the DAC EVM and the TSW1400EVM is a Samtec high-speed connector with differential pairs routed to adjacent pins and the pairs separated by a ground pin. A common pinout for the connector across a family of EVMs has been established. At present, the interface between these DAC EVMs and the TSW1400EVM has defined connections for 32 pairs of LVDS data lines, two data output clock pairs, four control pairs, two input clock pairs (sync, strobes, and so on), eight general purpose CMOS I/O pins (USB controlled) and 10 general purpose CMOS I/O pins (FPGA controlled). The TSW1400 CMOS interface provides up to 40 single- ended CMOS data outputs and two clock sources for CMOS DAC EVM formats. This interface has an option to be either 3-V or 1.8-V CMOS logic.

2 Hardware Configuration
In this section, the various portions of the TSW1400EVM hardware are described.
2.1 Power Connections
The TSW1400EVM hardware is designed to operate from a single-supply voltage of 5 Vdc. The power input is controlled by the ON/OFF switch SW7. Make sure this switch is in the “OFF”position before inserting the power plug. Connect the 5-V output of the provided AC-to-DC power supply to J12 of the EVM and the other power supply cable to 110-120 VAC source.
2.1.1 Output Power Regulators
The TSW1400 provides two output power sources with these default settings:
- 3.3 V at 3 A at J10 and the return at J9
- 1.8 V at 6 A at J8 and the return to J9. Both power supplies are derived from on-board switching power supplies and controlled by switch SW7. See the TI TPS54620 (SLVS949) and TPS54325 data sheet (SLVS932) for more information regarding the performance of these devices before deciding to use them to power up external EVMs.
2.2 Switches, Jumpers and Fuses
2.2.1 Switches and Pushbuttons
Switch SW7 is the main power ON/OFF switch. Dipswitch SW1 has all switches routed to spare pins on the FPGA. Each switch trace has a pullup to 3.3 V and shorts this to ground when the switch is closed. Currently none of the switches are used. Five pushbutton switches are mounted on the TSW1400EVM. One pushbutton switch currently has a defined function; one of the other switches is reserved for future use. The CPU_RESET (SW6) pushbutton causes the FPGA to reset the internal PLL logic.
2.2.2 Jumpers
Jumpers JP5, JP6, and JP7 allow the option to break the connection on three GPIO signals that are routed between connector J3 and USB controller U3 through buffer U16. When the jumper shunts are removed and buffer U16 is disabled, the user can provided external signals to three signals going to an ADC EVM that is connected to J3 by using pin 1 of JP5, JP6, and JP7. Connecting pins 1 and 2 of Jumper SJP1 will disable U16. Connecting pins 1 and 2 of Jumper SJP2 will disable U17, which is the buffer providing the GPIO signals to the DAC EVM interface connector. See the TSW1400 EVM schematic for more details. Jumpers JP3 and JP4 set the output voltage of buffers U16 and U17. These buffers provide GPIO signals between the TSW1400 and ADC and DAC EVMs. When set to pins 1-2, the buffers will provide 1.8-V CMOS logic level signal interface to the ADC and DAC EVM connectors. When set to 2-3, the level will be 3 V. JP3 controls the ADC signals, and JP4 controls the DAC signals. See the TSW1400 EVM schematic for more details. Jumper JP8 sets the signal output voltage of CMOS_PORT1[19:1] bus on connector J1. When set to pins 1-2, the FPGA will provide 1.8-V CMOS logic level signals. When set to 2-3, the level will be 3 V. 5SLWU079C– March 2012– Revised January 2014 TSW140x High Speed Data Capture/Pattern Generator Card Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated

2.2.3 Fuses
Fuse F1 is in line with the EVM input power. This is used along with diode D14 to protect the board from surges and over voltage on the input power supply. Fuse F2, when installed, will provide 6 VDC to the DAC EVM interface connector J4. CAUTION When using this 6 VDC for a DAC EVM, make sure the DAC EVM power connection is removed.
2.3 LEDs
Eleven LEDs are on the TSW1400EVM to indicate the presence of power and the state of the FPGA. The LED on the left edge of the board illuminates to indicate the presence of a 5-V power to the board after SW7 is placed in the “ON”position. LED D1 illuminates to indicate that the FPGA programming has completed and is now operational. USER_LED0 and LED1 indicate transmission of data samples over SPI interface. USER_LED2 turns off when the FPGA is in reset mode. USER_LED3 indicates the FPGA PLL1 is locked to the ADC input clock from port 0. USER_LED4 indicates the FPGA PLL2 is locked to the ADC input clock from port 1 or locked to the FPGACLK from the DAC when in the DAC mode. USER_LED5 indicates that the DDR memory initialization is complete and the interface is ready to use. USER_LED6 and LED7 indicate that the two SPI FIFO’s are empty. LED D10 indicates the presence of 6-V power to the DAC EVM interface connector J4.
2.4 Connectors
The TSW1400 EVM has several connectors to allow for direct plug in of various TI CMOS and LVDS ADC and DAC EVMs.
2.4.1 Input LVDS ADC Interface Connector
The connection between the TSW1400EVM and the ADC EVM to be tested is through a 128-pin High speed Samtec connector. 35 LVDS data pairs plus two LVDS clock pairs have a defined position in the connector pinout that is common between the TSW1400EVM and many TI ADC EVMs. For the parallel LVDS DDR data format, the bit clock runs at the same rate as the sample clock to the ADC. For the serial LVDS data format, the bit clock runs at a higher multiple of the ADC sample clock and is used to strobe the serial data into the TSW1400EVM and then de-serialize the data. For the serial LVDS data format, a second clock is provided, called the frame clock or FCLK, that runs at the sample rate and is used to delineate the sample boundaries in the serial data stream. The frame clock line can be used as a second clock in the parallel LVDS DDR format that uses two data buses. The data direction for the LVDS data pairs is always defined as the ADC EVM driving the signal through the connector to the TSW1400EVM FPGA, with integrated 100-Ω termination in the FPGA. For one-channel parallel DDR bit-wise data formats, eight of the LVDS data pairs are used to support up to 16-bit-resolution ADCs at up to 250-MHz sampling rates. For one-channel parallel DDR sample-wise data formats, 14 of the LVDS data pairs are used to support up to 14-bit-resolution ADCs at up to 500- MHz sampling rates. For two-channel parallel DDR bit-wise data formats, 14 of the LVDS data pairs are used to support two channels of 14-bit resolution at up to 250-MHz sampling rate. For serial data formats, eight of the LVDS data pairs support up to eight channels of one-wire serial ADCs at up to 65-MHz sampling rate or four channels of two-wire serial ADCs at up to 125-MHz sampling rates. Eight extra CMOS single-ended signals are defined in the Samtec connector that are sourced from the USB interface through the connector to the ADC EVM. These signals, in the future, will allow the GUI to control the SPI serial programming of the ADC for those ADC EVMs that support this feature.

www.ti.com Hardware Configuration The Samtec connectors snap together with no screws or other mechanism to hold the TSW1400EVM and the ADC EVM together. The TSW1400EVM comes with standoff posts for setting the TSW1400EVM flat on a bench or table. The ADC EVM has shorter standoff posts so that the TSW1400EVM and ADC EVM will lay flat on a bench or table and stay snapped together during use.
2.4.2 JTAG Connector
The TSW1400EVM includes an industry-standard JTAG connector that connects to the JTAG ports of the FPGA and the programming pins of the FPGA EEPROM. Jumpers on the TSW1400EVM allow for either the FPGA or the FPGA EEPROM to be programmed from the JTAG chain. The JTAG connector is to be used for trouble shooting only. The board default setup is with the FPGA JTAG pins connected to the USB interface. This allows the FPGA to be programmed by the GUI though the USB interface. The current design does not support the use of the FPGA EEPROM. Every time the TSW1400 EVM is powered down, the FPGA configuration is removed. The user must program the FPGA through the GUI after every time the board is powered up.
2.4.3 Input CMOS ADC Interface Connector
The connection between the TSW1400EVM and a CMOS ADC EVM to be tested is through a two row, 88 pin, 100 mil center, Samtec female header style connector (J1). The 40 single-ended data lines and two clock lines have a defined position in the connector pinout that is common between the TSW1400EVM and several TI CMOS ADC EVMs. The Samtec connectors couple together with no screws or other mechanism to hold the TSW1400EVM and the ADC EVM together. The TSW1400EVM comes with standoff posts for setting the TSW1400EVM flat on a bench or table. The ADC EVM has shorter standoff posts so that the TSW1400EVM and ADC EVM will lay flat on a bench or table when connected together.
2.4.4 Output LVDS Connector
The connection between the TSW1400EVM and the DAC EVM to be tested is through a 192-pin High speed Samtec connector. 32 LVDS output data pairs plus two LVDS output clock pairs, four differential control pairs (sync, strobes, and so on), two input clock pairs, eight general purpose CMOS I/O pins (USB controlled) and 10 general purpose CMOS I/O pins (FPGA controlled). These signals have a defined position in the connector pinout that is common between the TSW1400EVM and many TI DAC EVMs.
2.4.5 Output CMOS DAC Interface Connector
The TSW1400EVM CMOS ADC Interface connector, J1, is also used to support several TI CMOS DAC EVMs. The 40 single-ended data lines and two clock lines have a defined position in the connector pinout that is common between the TSW1400EVM and several TI CMOS DAC EVMs. The Samtec connectors couple together with no screws or other mechanism to hold the TSW1400EVM and the DAC EVM together.
2.4.6 USB I/O Connection
Control of the TSW1400EVM is through a USB connection to a PC running the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. For the computer, the drivers needed to access the USB port are included on the HSDC Pro Software GUI installation software that can be downloaded from the web. The drivers are automatically installed during the installation process. On the TSW1400EVM, the USB port is used to identify the type and serial number of the EVM under test, load the desired FPGA configuration file, capture data from ADC EVMs, and send test pattern data to the DAC EVMs. On first connection of the USB port to a computer, the Microsoft Found New Hardware Wizard appears. Follow the dialog box prompts as covered in the installation section of the HSDC Pro GUI User’s Guide (SLWU087). 7SLWU079C– March 2012– Revised January 2014 TSW140x High Speed Data Capture/Pattern Generator Card Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated

- Start the GUI by clicking on the file called “High Speed Data Converter Pro.exe", located under C:\\Program Files\\Texas Instruments\\High Speed Data Converter Pro. NOTE: If an older version of the GUI has already been installed, make sure to uninstall it before loading a newer version. If the GUI detects that a newer version of the GUI is available online (http://www.ti.com/tool/tsw1400evm), it will assist the user with downloading the latest version from the TI website. The GUI automatically interrogates the product website for latest version every seven days but the latest version check can also be manually invoked through use of the pull-down menu Help->Check for updates. NOTE: When new TI HSDC EVMs become available that are not supported with the current GUI software release, the HSDC Pro GUI Updates executable, available on the TI website (www.ti.com), will allow the user to add these EVMs to the GUI device list. Doing a search for TSW1400EVM will direct the user to this location. The user should download this patch . Start the application and follow the on screen instructions. The patch will display the files that will be either added or replaced and have tabs for viewing what files will be deleted and release notes. After running the patch, the user will then be able to start the High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI and notice new parts added to the ADC and DAC device drop down selection box. The patch is always specific to a core GUI version so the patch application would not work for any GUI version that the patch was not explicitly created for.

ADC Data Capture Software Operation www.ti.com
3.3 Device ini Files
Included in the installation for the HSDC Pro GUI software is a subdirectory of ini files for each category of ADC and DAC that is supported by the TSW140x EVMs. TI strongly recommends that these files are not edited except at the factory. These files contain necessary information for the GUI software to properly configure the TSW140x EVM FPGA registers for proper operation with the desired ADC or DAC EVM. Some of the entries within the ini file are obvious, such as defining the bit resolution for a device as 11, 12, 14, or 16 bits. Other entries in the ini file define for the FPGA which LVDS pairs within the Samtec connector define the data bus, and correct operation may not be possible if these entries are edited. The use of ini files allows for new device types to be supported by the TSW140x EVM as they become available without having to modify, re-release, or re-install the HSDC Pro GUI software. New device types may be supported at a later date simply by adding a new ini file to the proper subdirectory.

6.1.3 Jumpers
The TSW1405 has provisions for four jumpers which are normally not installed. Each jumper has one post connected to an FPGA input and a pull up resistor while the other post connects to ground. These jumpers are reserved for possible future use for setting options to the FPGA or for possible output connections from the FPGA. The TSW1405 also has an optional 6-pin header for connection to the JTAG port of the FPGA, but the JTAG header may not be installed. The JTAG port would allow the use of an FPGA programming pod, but is not necessary since the FPGA firmware is downloaded from the PC at runtime.
6.1.4 LEDs
The TSW1405 has an LED labeled D1 Done that is lit when the FPGA is finished loading a bit file and is ready for use. An additional LED labeled D2 is normally not installed and is reserved for future use. For the initial release of the TSW1405, the LED D2 (if installed) will flash when an LVDS clock is present from the ADC EVM.
6.2 Software Operation
The TSW1405 uses the same software GUI as the TSW1400, providing for a consistent and familiar experience for the user of the TI Capture Cards. When the GUI is launched on the PC, the GUI will detect whether any TSW1400 or TSW1405 capture cards are connected to the PC USB ports, and allow the user to select which to connect to if there are more than one connected.

8 Revision History
Revision A (March 2012) Changed and Added figures and text throughout the document Added section 7 - TSW1405 Functional Description Revision B (September 2012) The GUI supports the TSW1406 Low Cost pattern Generation card in addition to the TSW1400 and TSW1405. Master and slave triggering modes are available for the TSW1400. Under 'Data Capture Option' there is now a 'Trigger Option' menu with two sub-options. 'Trigger Mode Enable' allows externally triggering capture into DDR memory through SMA connector named 'EXT_TRG_IN' while 'Software Trigger' generates a trigger on the four SMA connectors labeled 'SYNC' Added FFT Averaging feature (with or without continuous capture). This feature performs 'n' continuous captures (max = 10) and averages the FFT's on the fly to reduce noise Complex FFT feature is now available for the DAC panel. The 'format' dropdown above the FFT plot controls whether the FFT is visualized in real or complex mode. Includes ‘DAC channel enable’feature that allows one to selectively send zeroes to selected DAC channels Increased speed of Continuous Capture function. The notch frequency bins menu option is disabled in all modes except single tone. Revised defaults for notch filters ( 25:25:25) in windowed modes only. Rectangular window modes filter parameters unchanged. Peak to Peak amplitude and PAR values are now displayed for time domain DAC and ADC. FFT plot in DAC mode defaults to windowed (Blackman window) mode when creating tone or loading file with >64K samples. The Time domain plot color is now dark blue (both on the context plot and main plots). Test Options tab added option to display the X axis scale in "time" instead of "Samples". The Bandwidth Integration Markers could earlier be swapped, causing problems. Now they cannot. GUI auto-disconnects gracefully if the USB cable is unplugged and some user operation is attempted. GUI includes a "Check for Updates" feature that checks (every 7 days) for latest version and prompts a download if a newer version is available for download at the TI product page. Feature is also accessible from menu. Advanced "FFT x scale" feature in Device INI to adjust the FFT x scale for decimated sample rate devices.
