DAC3283EVM: Differential DC-coupled analog signals of DAC3283EVM & ADS4149EVM ?

Part Number: DAC3283EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: FMC-DAC-ADAPTER, , FMC-ADC-ADAPTER, ADS4149EVM, THS4509EVM, THS4509, LMP8350

Hi,

I'm interested in combinations of DAC3283EVM + FMC-DAC-Adapter & ADS4149EVM + FMC-ADC-Adapter with Xilinx ZC706 Dev. board.

There are some requirements on our design.

Both analog input & output type are differential and DC-coupled.

However, DAC3283EVM and ADS4149EVM support single-ended transformer-coupled analog signals.

I know that removing transformer and installing SMA connector are the solution for differential DC-coupled analog signals.

But, I don't know the exact way for them.

Please explain circuit revision method to me.

BR.

    Seungik,

    You will need to modify the DAC EVM as follows:

    1. Remove T1, T2, R137, R153, R155, R156.

    2. Install R109, R134, R135, R136, R6, R15, R20 and R27.

    For the ADC EVM, do the following:

    1. Remove R84, T1, T2.

    2. Install J8, R82, and short across pads 4-3 and 6-1 of both T1 and T2. For a DC coupled setup, swap out C69 and C68 with 0 Ohm resistors. R23 and R24 need to be removed if the external signal has the correct required common mode applied for the ADC.  

    Regards,

    Jim

    Hi, Jim.

    Thank you for your answer.

    I have a question of your answer.

    What means 'R23 and R24 need to be removed if the external signal has the correct required common mode applied for the ADC' ?

    Additionally, do you know that how IOUTA1 & IOUTA2 (current) of DAC3283EVM should be converted into voltage?

    Is further signal conditioning circuitry for I/V conversion required?

    I'll be waiting for your answer :D

    Best regards,

    Seungik Cho.

    Seungik,

    The pullup resistors on the DAC EVM will convert the output to a voltage. What exactly will the DAC be driving?

    For the ADC, the VCM output of the ADC will connect to the pos/neg inputs with R23 and R24 installed. By default, the EVM has the ADC setup for AC coupling and this connection is required to set the Pos/Neg inputs to the correct VCM for the ADC.

    Regards,

    Jim

    Hi, Jim.

    The pullup resistors on the DAC EVM will convert the output to a voltage. What exactly will the DAC be driving?

    -> I'm designing certain CAN communication system.

    -> CAN bus is implemented through transmission line terminated with 120-ohms resistors at either end.

    -> Common-mode voltage of this application is 2.5V and differential swing voltage is 2Vp-p.

    -> I will attach a picture related with my application.

    -> Can some FDA EVMs such as THS4509EVM be used? also How can I drive DAC3283EVM? 

    For the ADC, the VCM output of the ADC will connect to the pos/neg inputs with R23 and R24 installed. By default, the EVM has the ADC setup for AC coupling and this connection is required to set the Pos/Neg inputs to the correct VCM for the ADC.

    -> So, I need to scale common-mode voltage & differential swing voltage of ADC input signals down so that it meet ADC spec. 

    -> I'm worried about this.

     

    Please give me some advices.

     

    Best regards,


    Seungik Cho.

    Seungik,

    You possiblly could use the on-board THS4509 to drive the ADC. What will be feeding the input to this ADC EVM? Is it some device operating the ISO 11898-2 spec? Will this be a differential input signal? I do not know anything about this standard and the website wants to charge for downloading this.

    What will the output of the DAC be connected to? A system level block diagram showing all of the hardware and interface specs will be helpful. 

    Regards,

    Jim

    Thanks.

    What will be feeding the input to this ADC EVM? What will the output of the DAC be connected to?

    -> The output of D/A EVM is equal to specification of above referenced picture. The output swing as referenced single-ended is maximum 3.5V & minimum 1.5V.

    Its differential signal has range of 0V - 2V.  .

    I am considering LMP8350, which supports output swing requirements on my design.

    (In HP mode, LMP8350 supports maximum 4.18V & minimum 0.82V) 

    But, no LMP8350EVM is.

    Are there any alternative product?
