Detailed Architecture

From the HDL perspective, the selection between the 16-bit and the 18-bit version of the chip, is done by the ADC_RES and OUT_RES parameters of the modules.

• For the 18-bit, ADC_RES=18 (=> OUT_RES=32; addresses should be on a nb. of bits power of 2)

• For the 16-bit, ADC_RES=16 (=> OUT_RES=16)

Warning

When using the ONE LANE configuration (TWOLANES=0), the only resolution supported is 18 bits!

Detailed Description

The top module instantiates:

• the (LVDS) interface module

• the channel processing module

• the delay control module

• the ADC common register map

• the AXI handling interface

Interface module description

The LVDS interface module has as inputs the LVDS signals for clock and data:

• dco_p/dco_n: LVDS clock input; it is an echoed version of the CLK+/CLK- signal, and it’s used to latch the data outputs from the chip.

• da_p/da_n and db_p/db_n: serial LVDS data inputs; DB+/- is used only when TWOLANES=1

• clk_gate: this signal clk_gate is enabling the CLK+/CLK- which is driven by the reference clock. It is generated by AXI_PWM_GEN.

• adc_valid: it is 1 for the current sample that is sent. This is generated depending on clk_gate.

• adc_data: depending on TWOLANES parameter, whether it is set or not, the output adc_data is either taken from the da_p/_n port interleaved with bits from db_p/_n, or it is taken only from da_p/_n port.

Channel module description

The expected pattern is created and checked if the data received from the DMA is the correct one (this is used for quick validation of the design).

In the case of the device with 16-bit resolution, a sign extension is done additionally.

		[2:0]	SOFTSPAN	RW	0x7	Softspan configuration register.

Design Guidelines

The control of the chip is done through an SPI interface, which is needed at the system level. The Interface must be connected directly to the top file of the design, as I/O primitives are part of the IP.

The example design uses a DMA to move the data from the output of the IP to memory.

If the data needs to be processed in HDL before moving to the memory, it can be done at the output of the IP (at the system level) or inside the ADC interface module (at the IP level).

The example design uses a processor to program all the registers.

If no processor is available in your system, you can create your IP starting from the interface module.
