ADS54J69: Sampling rate and interface with FPGA

Part Number: ADS54J69
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DXP,

      I am new to ADC design and JESD204B interface and using "Xilinx ultrascale+ FPGA" to interface ADC from GTH bank side. Below are few points which is not clear to me and requested to clarfy.

1. As per ADS54J69 Datasheet, "on page no.11" for "JESD204B Interface: DxP, DxM", "Vod=700mVpp & Voc= 450mV" typical. As per Xilinx "DS 925" on "page no. 79" for "GTH Transceiver DC Specifications",            "DVppin =150 - 1250mV & Vcmin= 2/3 Vmgtavtt" i.e 800mV (Vmgtavtt" =1.2V). Will this interface works if connecting "DxP & DxM" pin to Xilinx "GTH transceiver rx input" pins?

2. As per ADS54J69 Datasheet, "on page no.13, figure 2" its seems that for every clock one sample is taken. In this point of view to get 500MSPS sample, clock should be 500MHz. But in "7.8 Timing characteristics", it is mentioned that "device clock frequency = 1 GSPS, output sampling rate = 500 MSPS". Please correct me where i am missing the things.

3. As per ADS54J69 Datasheet, "on page no.13, figure 2", for every sample data bits are D11 to D20 for "DA0p & DA0m" and D1 to D10 for "DA1p & DA1m". So total 20 bit is for every sample. But ADC is for 16 bit resolution. Please clarify.

4. Is is ok to connect SYSREF, CLKIN & DxP/DxM to same GTH bank of Xilinx FPGA,or anything should be taken care. (Note:The control interface is connected to HD bank of Xilinx FPGA).

Thanks

  • Hi Alok,

    We are looking at your question and will get back to you soon.

  • Alok,

    1. I think this will work but not 100% sure. We have only tested this part with GTX transceivers. Contact Xilinx for more info regarding this. 

    2. The output is decimated by 2 so the data rate will always be 1/2 the ADC sample rate. The 1GHz clock mentioned is the sample clock and the data rate is 500MHz. 

    3.  This figure is labeled incorrectly. It should be D20-D11 and D10-D1. This is showing the 8b/10b conversion of the two octets coming out of the device. Each byte is 10 bits, with the MSB byte coming out first.

    4. CLKIN (reference clock) should go the same bank as the data. This clock usually has a dedicated pin (MGTREFCLK P/N). The pin used for SYSREF does not have to go to the same bank as the data and CLK.

    Regards,
