ADC12DJ3200EVM: Working in dual-channel mode, the voltage of one channel's sampled data is reversed

Part Number: ADC12DJ3200EVM

Hi,

I tried the dual channel mode of ADC12DJ3200EVM with TSW14J56. 

The signal of two channel are 10 MHz +/- clock which displayed in oscilloscope as fig. 1.

fig. 1 10MHz pos/neg clock

Howerver, in the HSDC, the sampled data looks as fig. 2

fig. 2 sampled data of dual-channel

It seems that there exists voltage reverse of one channel. But I couldn't figure out the real reason. 

I hope for your help!

Best,

Lei

  • Hi Lei,

    To make the layout easy the Balun on CHA vs CHB is flipped by 180 degrees. As a result when you input is signal which is offset by 180 degree on two channels, the resultant signal end up being aligned with each other.

  • Hi Neeraj,

    Thanks for your reply. So, when ADC working at dual-channel mode, the sampled signal of two channels have the difference as followed.

    1. The voltage of one channel has been reversed.

    2. The sample time of one channel has a delay of "1/(2*fs)".

    Is my understanding above correct?And if there exist other difference I don't mention?

    Best,

  • Hi Lei,

    As I mentioned before. The two input will be out of phase from one another by 180 degree because the two input Baluns are flipped by 180 to make the layout easy.
