Detailed Description#

The TRX (ADC) interface is set at 100MSPS, full duplex mode, double data rate (DDR), two channels. The clock comes from the AD9963 chip.

The TX (DAC) interface works at 75MSPS data rate with interpolation by 2 on the AD9963 chip. The DAC path inside AD9963 chip works at 150MHz, pushing part of the spurs outside the 100MHz bandwidth. The design assumes that the 75MHz clock is not available in the FPGA. To reduce the number of PLLs used in the FPGA, we are using AD9963 and a BUFR (divide by 2) to generate this clock. When the clock is generated by AD9963, DDR transfer is not available. The TX interface works at 150MHz, SDR.

Register Map#

The register map of the core contains instances of several generic register maps like ADC common, ADC channel, DAC common, DAC channel etc. The following table presents the base addresses of each instance, after that can be found the detailed description of each generic register map. The absolute address of a register should be calculated by adding the instance base address to the registers relative address.

Design Guidelines#

To reduce the power and resource utilization, all the unused features should be disabled.

Software Guidelines#

For RX PRBS data, when 2’s complement mode is selected, each new word is the 1-bit shifted version of the previous word. Steps to do in order to test the PRBS on the RX path:

  1. Write to AD9963 SPI register 0x51 the value 1, which enables the BIST core.

  2. Write to AD9963 SPI register 0x51 the value 7.

  3. Read register 0x404 from the AD9361 ADC core (should read value 2 or 6).

  4. Write back to register 0x404 from the AD9361 ADC core the value read above.

  5. Read register 0x404 from the AD9361 ADC core. It should read 0x0 if the RX path is working correctly for channel 1.

  6. Perform steps 3-6 with register 0x444. This will validate the RX path for channel 2.

If the TRX path does not work correctly, the output current on the TRX pins can be changed by writing to register 0x63.

The TX interface testing is done by writing 1024 samples of PRBS data and checking the BIST signature values for both the I and the Q side. Interpolation should not be active during the BIST testing.

Software Support#

The software for this part can be found as part of the ADALM2000 (or shortly, M2K) reference design.
