ADC32RF45: ADC32RF45 Ramp Lane Data Swapped

Part Number: ADC32RF45
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: , LMK04828

We are experiencing a problem with an ADC32RF45 IC used in one of our production runs. We are using it in 12-bit bypass mode (LMFS = 82820) and sampling at 2.8 GSPS.

When enabling the 12-bit (LMFS = 82820) ramp pattern test, we are receiving the ramp data out of order. After further investigation, we have found that nothing is wrong with the data apart from the lane data being swapped. We are confident that the problem is not with our test setup, since we have used it to test many other ADC32RF45 ICs successfully (which includes verification of the the 12-bit ramp pattern).

During further investigation of the problem, we enabled the "long transport layer test pattern mode according to section 5.1.6.3 of the JESD204B specification" and verified that we can receive that test pattern data correctly. Thus, it seems that the reason for the ramp lane data being swapped lies inside the ADC32RF45.

Has anyone else experienced a problem with the ADC32RF45 ramp lane data being swapped, and if so, how does one correct this problem?

  • Hi Francois,

    I am looking into this and will get back to you soon.

  • Hi Francois,

    I set up an ADC32RF45EVM in our lab and generated a ramp pattern under the conditions you describe. Please double check that you are doing a reset register write to the LMK04828 (pg. 9 of the EVM user’s guide) prior to programming the EVM. Also double check that you are doing a register write to set the 12bit Ramp in Bypass for both channels (in Table 62 on pg. 88 of the datasheet)

    Are you using a custom EVM? What data format are you using?

    If you could provide additional information or pictures of the issue and/or setup, that would be helpful as well.

    Regards, Amy

  • Hi Francois, 

    One more thought - are you seeing this behavior on both channels?
