ADC12D1800RFRB: adc12d1800

Part Number: ADC12D1800RFRB

Hi

I am using ADC12D1800RFRB  Evaluation Board.

I have configure the on board PLL for 1.8 GHz clock...So  I am sending sampling frequency 1.8GHz  to adc.

I have configured the adc as following:

NDM <= '1';  (non demux mode)
DES <= '0';   (non DES mode)
DDRPHASE <= '0';
TPM <= '0';
PDQ <= '1';
ECE <= '0';    (non ECM mode)
CALDLY <= '1';
FSR <= '1';
PDI <= '0';

Also sending CAL signal (low to high to low) for power on calibration.

Analog input signal specifications : 210 MHz; 0.7 mV (p-p)

But I am not getting the output data clock from adc..(I am checking at chipscope)...What may be the possible issues??

Please help...Urgent

    The FPGA on the ADC12D1800RFRB can only capture data when the ADC is in 1:2 Demux mode (output data rate = 900 Mbit/sec). In non-Demux mode the data rate will be 1800 Mbit/sec which is too fast for the FPGA to capture. The data clock will also be too fast (900 MHz instead of 450 MHz) which I expect is the reason the clock is not recognized on chipscope.

    Try configuring the board with NDM = 0 instead and see if things work better.

    Best regards,
