ADC12J4000: Running Disparity Error in no signal input on customer's board

Part Number: ADC12J4000

Hello,

My customer needs your help.

<The Issue>

The running disparity error occurred in their Xilinx FPGA on their board in the following case.

  1. When they turned off the signal input.

  2. When they pull the signal input cable.

  3. When they gradually reduce the input signal level.

<Their configuration>

* fs = 2.8GSPS

* Bypass Mode

* Disabled the Scrambler 

* K = 4

* AC Coupled Continuous SYSREF

* Differential SYNC

* The setting of the registers as follows.

    0x0021 0x01 // De-assert reset

    0x0021 0x00 // Initiate reset of all registers

    0x0030 0x00 // SYSREF receiver and processor off

    0x0040 0x04 // Set serializer pre-emphasis for high speed PCB

    0x0066 0x03 // Foreground calibration mode with timing optimization enabled

    0x002B 0x13 // Change reserved register to proper setting

    0x0208 0x07 // Change over-range processing to longest interval

    0x0051 0x84 // Calibration optimized for large signals

    0x0201 0x0E // JESD_EN = 0 Scrambler disabled (default) K=4

    0x0200 0x20 // Signed 2s complement Final filter has 0-dB gain Bypass mode

    0x0202 0x40 // P54 PLL off, Differntial SYNC, Normal data mode

    0x0030 0xC0 // SYSREF Receiver and processor on

    0x0201 0x0F // JESD_EN = 1 Scrambler disabled (default) K=4

    0x0050 0x0E // Initiate a forground calibration

[Q]

Is there any point to notice ?

Is there other necessary information ?

  • Hiroshi,

    Are they using the TI EVM with a Xilinx platform? If so what is the Xilinx platform? If not, what family of Xilinx device are they using? What is the clock source for the JESD204B interface?

    Regards,

    Jim

  • Hi Jim,

    I'm sorry for my late response.
    I have been confirming your request yet, however I have not been able to yet get the whole aspect.

    It is the contents which I was able to confirm as follows.
    * They are not using the TI EVM with a Xilinx platform.
    * They evaluate their board.
    * Xilinx family is Kintex UltraScale (XCKU115-1FLVA1517C)
    * Device Clock generate with LMK04808B.
    * SYSREF generate with LMK04828B.

    I am confirming the synchronization scheme for the device clock and SYSREF and SYSREF frequency.

    Best Regards,

  • Hi Katsunaga-san

    If the ADC is on a board of their design it would be very helpful to get schematics of the ADC, clocking and JESD204B data signal sections of the design.

    Other helpful information would be the register settings used for the ADC12J4000 device and clocking devices.

    If the customer doesn't want to share the information in the public forum you can sent it to me in a private message.

    Best regards,

    Jim B

  • Hi Jim B-san,

    Thank you for your response.

    OK, I will send you the information by e-mail.

    Thank you for your cooperation.
