EVM Description

The AFE722x EVM includes a great level of flexibility to enable the user to test it in a more system like

environment. The individual power rails can be generated through LDOs or DC/DC converters from a 6 V

power source and the EVM clock architecture allows for external clock input as well as clock generation

using a low jitter PLL in combination with a VCXO. On the transmit side the EVM provides the option of

connecting directly to the DAC outputs or perform up-conversion via on board IQ modulator.

On the digital side the EVM provides a seamless interface to the TSW1200 capture card in order to

evaluate received data directly on a PC. The TSW3100 pattern generation card can be used to provide

data to the dual DAC of the AFE722x and the on board CDCE72010 generates the appropriate clock for

the TSW3100 for synchronous operation. Both AFE722x and CDCE72010 can be programmed via SPI

conveniently through the USB connection.

The AFE722x EVM software controls the AFE722x and CDCE72010 on the EVM via SPI register writes

through a USB connection with the PC. Below is a snapshot of the GUI front panel highlighting the various

tabs to control the setup of AFE722x as well as CDCE72010.

It is required to perform a USB reset after applying power to the EVM to establish proper connection with

the PC. A warning sign on the bottom right will flash otherwise indicating USB communication failure.

The EVM software also provides the option to save all registers to a file or to load registers from a file.

4 Initial EVM Setup and Basic Test Procedure

The fastest way to get the AFE722x EVM up and running is to follow this operating procedure:

•Two signal generators should be connected to the clock and data input of the EVM - preferably with

band pass filter and 10MHz reference locked for coherency.

•Clock input should be connected to ‘CDC AUX IN’input for AUX clock setup and the clock generator

amplitude should be set to ~10-13dBm.

•TSW1200 (RX) capture card should be plugged in AFE722x EVM and connected to the PC via USB.

•TSW3100 (TX) pattern generation card plugged into AFE722x EVM and connected to PC via Ethernet

cable.

•All appropriate power supplies should be connected –blue LED (D2) on AFE722x EVM indicating

power good status.

•After performing USB reset in AFE722x EVM software, the flashing USB warning sign should

disappear indicating successful USB communication.

4.1 CDCE72010 Configuration

The initial EVM setup is configured so that the AFE722x can be operated at any desired sampling rate.

Since the TSW3100 requires an external clock at ¾of the AFE clock rate (see clocking section) the

external clock applied to the ‘CDC AUX IN’connector needs to be 3x the AFE sampling rate (e.g.

368.64MHz for 122.88MHz operation). Loading a preconfigured register file (‘AUX IN - div3 AFE div4

TSW.txt’) to the CDCE72010, it then sets the dividers so that a /3 copy of the input clock is routed to the

AFE722x clock input and a /4 copy to the TSW3100.

4.3 TX Path Using TSW3100

First the AFE722x digital interface needs to be configured to match the serial LVDS interface from the

TSW3100.

The following control registers need to be set in the ‘General Setup’tab of the AFE722x programming

software. Also the USB communication warning sign should be monitored after the USB reset to ensure

proper communication with the AFE722x EVM.

The data coming from the TSW3100 is edge aligned while the AFE722x expects the serial LVDS data to

arrive edge centered. Here the programmable clock delay inside the AFE722x can be used to delay the

edge aligned clock closer towards the center of the data.

The table below shows clock delays for listed DAC sampling rates that showed proper operation.

Power Supply Options

5 Power Supply Options

The AFE722x EVM is designed to operate from an external 6 V wall wart supply. A LDO generates a 5V

rail for the TRF3703 IQ modulator as well as for the low noise LDOs which are generating a 3.3 V and 1.8

V rail for the AFE722x and the CDCE72010. Alternatively the 3.3 V and 1.8 V rails can be generated using

DC/DC converters which operate directly from the 6 V input for maximum power efficiency.

The EVM provides options to disable unused circuits by means of pin headers. These headers can also

be used for accurate power measurements where external power supplies can be directly connected to

them.

Three pin headers allow a convenient change between powering the AFE722x and CDCE72010 either

from DC/DC converter or low noise LDO.

6 Clocking Configuration

The AFE722x EVM offers 3 different options for

providing the clock to the AFE722x as well as the

supporting circuitry. The biggest challenge arises

when using the DAC with the TSW3100 because

the TSW3100 expects an input clock at 1/8 of the

DAC input data rate. However since the AFE722x

is designed for the serial LVDS interface, the DAC

data rate is 6x the actual AFE722x clock frequency.

Hence the clock to the TSW3100 needs to 6/8 =

3/4x the AFE722x clock frequency.

Clocking Configuration

www.ti.com

The CDCE72010 clock buffer on the AFE722x is used to provide the clock to the TSW3100. Additional

dividers can be added to the clock output in order to divide the clock appropriately for optional

interpolation by 2x or 4x.

Preconfigured setup files:

AUX IN –INT2x –div3 AFE div8 TSW.txt ext 3x clock to CDC AUX IN (see 6.5)

AUX IN –div3 AFE div4 TSW.txt ext 3x clock to CDC AUX IN (see 6.1)

REF IN (10MHz) –div6 AFE div8 TSW.txt ext 10MHz clock on REF IN (see 6.2)

REF IN (10MHz) –INT2x –div6 AFE div16 TSW.txt ext 10MHz clock on REF IN (see 6.2/6.5)

REF IN (122.88MHz) –div6 AFE div8 TSW.txt ext 122.88MHz clock on REF IN (see 6.2)

6.1 Non-VCXO Option (default)

This setup is the default configuration and provides the

option to operate AFE722x and TSW3100 synchronous at

any arbitrary sampling rate without the use of a VCXO.

This setup is useful for testing the AFE722x at clock

frequencies where a VCXO is not immediately available.
