ADC12J4000EVM + TSW14J56EVM

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADC12J4000EVM, ADC16DX370, DAC38J84

Hi,

I have just received the boards ADC12J4000EVM + TSW14J56EVM which I have purchased. We would like to do our own design based on this combination. In particular, we would like to connect an Arria V Altera FPGA to the ADC via the JESD204B interface. Would TI be able to send me the FPGA Verilog or VHDL design files that are used for the evaluation kit, in order to serve as a reference design?

Thanks,

Yair

Yair,

The firmware can be found at the following link:

https://txn.box.com/s/lgwm9cn0q8og4p7kus28

This firmware was generated with the MTI JESD204B core, which will not be supported in the future by Altera. They are switching over to their internal core using the Megacore tool. We should have a version of this firmware in the near future (2-4 weeks).

Regards,

Jim

Hi Jim,

How are you doing? You wrote earlier that "the MTI JESD204B core, which will not be supported in the future by Altera. They are switching over to their internal core using the Megacore tool. We should have a version of this firmware in the near future (2-4 weeks).". You wrote that a few months ago, so I am assuming that by now you have the design working with the Altera JESD204B Megacore. We are thinking of switching to the Altera megacore function as well. Would you be able to send me the design if it is available?

Thanks,

Yair

Thank you Jim! I really appreciate the quick reply! One more question: what is the path to the Quartus project (.qpf) file that you use for the ADC12J4000EVM + TSW14J56EVM evaluation boards? There are a lot of .qpf files in the ZIP file that you sent me (36, to be exact) and I'm not sure which one to use.

Thanks again,

Yair

Yair,

The following file is the Quartus II (14.0) project file in the zip folder,

I am using the MTI core JESD204B core in a design for the DAC38J84 and ADC16dx370. I would be a huge benefit to get the TI code to see how they configured see how TI used this core in the older altera based design. Oscar Trevino is my sales rep. I made this request to him but due to it's technical nature it is difficult for him to understand the request and fulfil it.
