ADC12D1600RB: Questions about dev board capabilities

Part Number: ADC12D1600RB
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WAVEVISION5

Hi there,

I've got a few questions about the ADC12D1600RB.

·        Is the ADC12D1600RB S/W (WaveVision) compatible with Windows 10 20H2 ?

·        Can WaveVision export sampled waveforms in text files ?

·        Does TI have a Windows/Python API allowing to interface the ADC12D1600RFRB to a Python application?

·        Is a sampling rate of 3.2Gbps possible in single channel /interleaved mode ? (datasheet is a bit muddy)

    Hi Eric,

    1. Yes you can use wavevision with windows10 by disabling the drive signing process. Here is procedure. Please follow window 7 instructions.50525.Disable Driver Signing Enforcement Windows 8 10.pdf

    2. Yes you can export data as CSV file.

    3. No there is no python support available. 

    4. Yes sampling at 3.2Gsps is only possible in single channel/interleaved( DES mode in datasheet). You will provide a clock at 1.6GHz and the in DES MODE ADC uses rising and following edge of the clock signal to sample at twice the clock rate( 3.2Gsps).

    Hi Neeraj,

    Thanks for the detailed response. A couple more questions have come up.

    1. In our application, we'll need to externally trigger the waveform acquisition with a signal directly to the ADC12D1600RFRB, rather than through the GUI. Can Simvision5 simply read the waveform but not start an acquisition?

    2. If we were to instead use the ADCxxDJxx00EVM evaluation board and TSW14J56EVM data capture board, is there a Windows API that we could use to read the ADC waveforms with our own software?

    Hi Eric,

    1. The WaveVision5 does not have the capability to do that.

    2. Yes, you will have to go through HSDCpro automation libraries. Once you download HSDCpro, The automations are found in following folder on you PC. 

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro\HSDCPro Automation DLL\Manual and Examples
