Demonstration circuit 1370A is easy to set up to evaluate
the performance of the LTC2262 A/D converters. Refer to
Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup and
follow the procedure:
Setup
If a DC890 QuikEval™II Data Acquisition and Collection
System was supplied with the DC1370A demonstration
circuit, follow the DC890 Quick Start Guide to install the
required software and for connecting the DC890 to the
DC1370A and to a PC.
DC1370A Demonstration Circuit Board Jumpers
The DC1370A demonstration circuit board should have
the following jumper settings as default positions: (as
per Figure 1)
JP2: PAR/SER: Selects Parallel or Serial programming
mode. (Default - Serial)
JP3: Duty Cycle Stabilizer: Enables/Disable Duty Cycle
Stabilizer. (Default - Enable)
JP4:
SHDN:
Enables and disables the LTC2262.
(Default - Enable)
Applying Power and Signals to the DC1370A
Demonstration Circuit
If a DC890 is used to acquire data from the DC1370A,
the DC890 must FIRST be connected to a powered USB
port or provided an external 6V to 9V BEFORE applying
3.6V to 6.0V across the pins marked V
+
and GND on the
DC1370A. DC1370A requires 3.6V for proper operation.
Regulators on the board produce the voltages required for
the ADC. The DC1370A demonstration circuit requires up
to 150mA depending on the sampling rate and the A/D
converter supplied.
The DC890 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 un-powered
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.
Analog Input Network
For optimal distortion and noise performance the RC
network on the analog inputs may need to be optimized
for different analog input frequencies. For input frequen-
cies above 170MHz, refer to the LTC2262 data sheet for a
proper input network. Other input networks may be more
appropriate for input frequencies less that 5MHz.

ENCODE CLOCK
Figure 1. DC1370A Setup
In almost all cases, filters will be required on both analog
input and encode clock to provide data sheet SNR. In the
case of the DC1370A the bandpass filter used for the clock
should be used prior to the DC1075A.
The filters should be located close to the inputs to avoid
reflections from impedance discontinuities at the driven
end of a long transmission line. Most filters do not present
50Ω outside the passband. In some cases, 3dB to 10dB
pads may be required to obtain low distortion.
If your generator cannot deliver full-scale signals without
distortion, you may benefit from a medium power amplifier
based on a Gallium Arsenide gain block prior to the final
filter. This is particularly true at higher frequencies where
IC based operational amplifiers may be unable to deliver
the combination of low noise figure and High IP3 point
required. A high order filter can be used prior to this final
amplifier, and a relatively lower Q filter used between the
amplifier and the demo circuit.
Encode Clock
NOTE: Apply an encode clock to the SMA connector on
the DC1370A demonstration circuit board marked J7.
As a default the DC1370A is populated to have a single
ended input.
For the best noise performance, the ENCODE INPUT must
be driven with a very low jitter, square wave source. The
amplitude should be large, up to 3V
P-P
or 13dBm. When
using a sinusoidal signal generator a squaring circuit can
be used. Linear Technology also provides demo board
DC1075A that divides a high frequency sine wave by four,
producing a low jitter square wave for best results with
the LTC2262 family.

DEMO MANUAL DC1370A
Quick Start ProceDure
Using bandpass filters on the clock and the analog input will
improve the noise performance by reducing the wideband
noise power of the signals. In the case of the DC1370A
a bandpass filter used for the clock should be used prior
to the DC1075A. Data sheet FFT plots are taken with 10
pole LC filters made by TTE (Los Angeles, CA) to suppress
signal generator harmonics, nonharmonically related spurs
and broadband noise. Low phase noise Agilent 8644B
generators are used with TTE bandpass filters for both
the clock input and the analog input.
Apply the analog input signal of interest to the SMA con-
nectors on the DC1370A demonstration circuit board
marked J5 A
IN+
. These inputs are capacitive coupled to
balun transformers ETC1-1-13.
An internally generated conversion clock output is avail-
able on J1 which could be collected via a logic analyzer, or
other data collection system if populated with a SAMTEC
MEC8-150 type connector or collected by the DC890
QuikEval™II Data Acquisition Board using PScope™
software.
Software
The DC890 is controlled by the PScope System Software
provided or downloaded from the Linear Technology
website at http://www.linear.com/software/. If a DC890
was provided, follow the DC890 Quick Start Guide and
the instructions below.
To start the data collection software if PScope.exe is in-
stalled (by default) in \Program Files\LTC\PScope\, double
click the PScope Icon or bring up the run window under
the start menu and browse to the PScope directory and
select PScope.
If the DC1370A demonstration circuit is properly connected
to the DC890, PScope should automatically detect the
DC1370A, and configure itself accordingly. If necessary
the procedure below explains how to manually configure
PScope.
Under the Configure menu, go to ADC Configuration....
Check the Config Manually box and use the following
configuration options, see Figure 2:
Figure 2. ADC Configuration
Manual Configuration settings:
Bits: 14 (or 12 for 12-bit parts)
Alignment: 14
FPGA Ld: CMOS
Channs: 2
Bipolar: Unchecked
Positive-Edge Clk: Checked
If everything is hooked up properly, powered and a suit-
able convert clock is present, clicking the Collect button
should result in time and frequency plots displayed in
the PScope window. Additional information and help for
PScope is available in the DC890 Quick Start Guide and in
the online help available within the PScope program itself.
Serial Programming
PScope has the ability to program the DC1370A board
serially through the DC890. There are several options
available in the LTC2262 family that are only available
through serially programming. PScope allows all of these
features to be tested.
These options are available by first clicking on the Set
Demo Board Options icon on the PScope toolbar (Figure 3).
