AFE5818 16-Channel Analog Front End Evaluation Module
This user's guide gives a general overview of the AFE5818 evaluation module (EVM) and provides a
general description of the features and functions to be considered while using this module. This manual is
applicable to the AFE5818 analog front-end, and to the Rev. C version of the EVM hardware. The
AFE5818 EVM provides a platform for evaluating the AFE under various signal, clock, reference, and ADC
output formats. In addition, the EVM supports the testing of both the LVDS interface as well as the
JESD204B interface. Note that the TSW1400EVM capture card is required for LVDS, and TSW14J56EVM
is required for JESD204B.
This user's guide refers to software HMC-DAQ GUI v.2.8 or higher, and HSDCPro Software v.4.1 or
higher.

    The AFE5818 EVM can be tested using the TSW1400EVM for LVDS data interface, or using the TSW14J56EVM for the JESD204B data interface. LVDS Interface ( AFE5818 EVM and TSW1400EVM) As shown in , mating the AFE5818 EVM with a TSW1400 EVM allows for testing using the LVDS data interface.

  • Page 4 Vcntl circuit. Alternatively, a dual ±5-V supply can power the EVM through a connector located at P1. All supplies for the AFE5818 device is derived from this +5-V supply. This +5-V power supply must be able to source up to 2 A, and –5 V supply must provide up to 1 A. The –5 V supply is used for the negative supply of amplifiers in the CW output external circuitry and V circuit.

For LVDS data, mate the TSW1400 EVM at connector J3 to the AFE5818 EVM at connector P900 through the high-speed ADC interface connector. For JESD data, mate the TSW14J56 EVM at connector J4 to the AFE5818 EVM at connector P800 through the FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) connector.
