ADC3441: any other options to confirm board is working other than the TSW1400?

Michael T Schneider

Part Number: ADC3441
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HSMC-ADC-BRIDGE, FMC-ADC-ADAPTER

I am working with a customer of mine on a new board design using the ADC3441.

I read through the set up guide for that board and it mentions the TSW1400 board to confirm that the ADC is working correctly and to read the data.  Is this board necessary to get the ADC up and working or are there any other options?

Thanks for the help!

    Hi Michael
    We have received your question. Someone will provide a more detailed response later today.

    Michael,

    The TSW1400EVM is the only option TI has for evaluating the TI ADC3441EVM. This platform can only be used with your custom board if you have the correct output connector to interface to the TSW1400 and all of the signals required by the TSW1400 are present and on the correct pins.

    I do not know what your custom board looks like but there may other options available for you from both Intel and Xilinx. These are FPGA manufactures that build development boards that we have used in the past with our ADC EVM's.

    Regards,

    Jim

    Thanks Jim, 

    We are actually note using a Custom board. We are using the EVM. I am assuming that the TSW1400 board is the best option for evaluation. There were just some questions around if it was possible to use a different device/board or if you have seen it done other ways.

    Michael,

    Currently the TSW1400EVM is the only means we have available today for testing this ADC EVM. TI does sell two different adapter boards that will allow a user to connect this EVM to a FPGA development board that has either a FMC connector or a 3 bank HSMC connector. These are called the FMC-ADC-Adapter board and HSMC-ADC-Bridge board. More info about this can be found on the TI website.

    Regards,

    Jim
