Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS54J60, TSW54J60EVM, LMH5401
HI,
I have the evaluation board of of the ADS54J60 (these are actually 2 boards: one is with the A2D, the other is with the FPGA).
1. I want to test the BER of the ADC using the "ADS54Jxx GUI v1.6" and the "High Speed data converters Pro" programs.
I did not find how to do it. I saw an option to enable the test pattern but did not see any option to verify if all the data arrived correctly to the FPGA or not. I did not find a way to count BER errors. How it can be done?
2. I saw that in the "High Speed data converters Pro" program, in the "instrument option" tab, under "SERDES test options" there is a way took at the eye and at the side there is a color BER bar. According the color it is hard to say if i had BER errors or not. Is there a way to read the BER counter and not to rely on the bar colors?
Thanks,
Yuval
