ADC1x5000-8 ADC boards requires:
- Clock: 2.5GHz (Max) 50Ohm 0dBm into SMA socket
- Signals: each is single-ended into SMA socket
Input pathes produce no gain. Only a pair of baluns are on the way the the ADC chip (symetrification of the signal?). The ADC chip documentation states that Analog input voltages should :
- Common mode within -0.3 - 4.3 V
- Diff mode under 4 Vpp
As a start, for clock and line, we configured Valon 4008 to produce -4 dBm RF levels.
Input clock is 2000.000000 MHz, -4.000000 dB (locked)
=> Sampling clock is 4000.000000 MHz, -4.000000 dB
Input tone is 250.000000 MHz, -4.000000 dB (locked)
An extra 20 dB attenuator is inserted on the ADC input path.
Valon 4008 requires 0.2 to 1 Vpk-pk input level.
WR-LEN used for tests produces 2 Vpk-pk input level.
A 3 dB SAM attenuator was inserted on the connection to adapt levels.
ADC1x5000-8 ADC boards requires:
- Sync: LVTTL, 5V tolerant, terminated with 50 ohm load, into SMA socket
WR-LEN generates 1.8V into 50 ohms load. We connect directly.
