ePIC COTS Digitizer R&D From AUGUST 2022 Presentation
Here I have the first captures from the Texas Instruments ADS52J90
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Conditions:
-The input signal is 1Vp-p gaussian pulse, 100ns wide with a 10KHz burst rate.
-Input coupling: AC coupled through pulse transformer
=> AC coupling is only for initial testing. Later test will use DC coupling but need to make input signal conditioning circuit similar to design I used on DEP32 ADC board
-ADC in 12 Bit mode
- Sampling rate: 50MHz (ADC external clock) 50 MSPS
-Data points exported to Excel
120ns gaussian input pulse: ~1Vp-p, 50MHz sampling rate (50MSPS), 12 BIT
Small input signal analysis: 50mV input: 50MHz sampling rate (50MSPS), 12 BIT
The next step is to test the ADS52J90 with DC coupled signal. The DC buffer/amplifier will be ported from the design I did for the DEP32 ADC boards. This design provided very good SNR and excellent linearity.
June 2023: I found my LTC6403 prototype circuit I used to DC couple the DEP32 ADC.
DC coupled test:
This test has two purposes:
1) examine how the ADS 52J90 responds to a baseline shift
2) Test the full DC dynamic input range of the ADC with a unipolar input signal
