General Description
The MAX12553/MAX12554/MAX12555 evaluation kits (EV
kits) are fully assembled and tested PCBs that contain all
the components necessary to evaluate the performance
of this family of 14-bit, analog-to-digital converters
(ADCs). These ADCs accept differential or single-ended
analog inputs, however, the EV kits allow for evaluation
with either type of signal from one single-ended analog-
signal source. The digital outputs produced by the ADCs
are captured easily with a user-provided high-speed logic
analyzer or data-acquisition system. The EV kits operate
from a 1.8V and a 3.3V power supply and include circuit-
ry that generates a low-jitter clock signal from an AC
signal provided by the user.

Procedure
Each EV kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-
mount PCB. Follow the steps below to verify board opera-
tion. Caution: Do not turn on power supplies or enable
signal generators until all connections are completed.
1) Verify that shunts are installed across pins 2-3 of
jumpers JU2 (ADC enabled) and JU3 (two’s-com-
plement digital-output format).
2) Verify that shunts are installed across pins 1-2 of
jumpers JU4 (internal duty-cycle equalizer enabled)
and JU5 (differential clock configuration).
3) Verify that shunts are installed across pins 2-3 of
jumper JU6 and across pins 1-2 of jumpers JU7
and JU8.
4) Connect the clock generator output to the clock
bandpass filter input.
5) Connect the output of the clock bandpass filter to
the CLOCK SMA connector.
6) Connect the output of the analog-signal generator
to the input of the signal bandpass filter. Keep the
cable connection between the signal generators, fil-
ters, and EV kit board as short as possible for opti-
mum dynamic performance.
7) Connect the output of the signal bandpass filter to
the AINP SMA connector. Note: It is recommend-
ed that a 3dB or 6dB attenuation pad be used to
reduce reflections and distortion from the band-
pass filter.
8) Connect the logic analyzer to the square pin header
(J1). See the
Digital Output
section for bit locations
and J1 header designations. The system clock is
available on pin 3 of J1.
9) Connect a 3.3V, 250mA power supply to VDUT.
Connect the ground terminal of this supply to the
corresponding GND pad.
10) Connect a 1.8V, 100mA power supply to VL.
Connect the ground terminal of this supply to the
GND pad.
11) Connect a 1.8V, 100mA power supply to VLDUT.
Connect the ground terminal of this supply to the
GND pad.
12) Turn on the 3.3V power supply.
13) Turn on the 1.8V power supplies.
14) Enable the signal generators.
15) Set the clock-signal generator to the desired clock
frequency. See the
Part Selection Table
for appropri-
ate frequency settings for each EV kit. The amplitude
of the generator should be sufficient to produce a
16dBm signal at the SMA input of the EV kits.
16) Set the analog input-signal generators for an output
amplitude of less than or equal to 2VP-P and to the
desired test frequency.
17) Verify that the two signal generators are synchro-
nized to each other. Adjust the output power level
of the signal generators to overcome cable, band-
pass filter, and attenuation pad losses at the input.
18) Enable the logic analyzer.
19) Collect data using the logic analyzer.
Detailed Description
Each EV kit is a fully assembled and tested PCB that
contains all the components necessary to evaluate the
performance of the MAX12553, MAX12554, or MAX12555
IC. Data generated by the EV kits are captured on a
single 14-bit parallel bus. The EV kits accept differential
or single-ended analog inputs and single-ended clock
signals. With the proper board configuration, the ADC is
evaluated with both types of signals by supplying only
one single-ended analog signal to the EV kit.
The EV kits are designed as four-layer PCBs to opti-
mize the performance of this family of ADCs. For simple
operation, the EV kits require 3.3V and 1.8V power
supplies, applied to analog and digital power planes,
respectively. However, the digital plane operates down
to 1.7V without compromising the ADC’s performance.
The logic analyzer’s threshold must be adjusted
accordingly.
MAX12553/MAX12554/MAX12555
Evaluation Kits
_______________________________________________________________________________________ 3
Access to the digital outputs is provided through con-
nector J1. The 40-pin connector easily interfaces with a
user-provided logic analyzer or data-acquisition system.
The DAV buffered output clock signal is available at pin
3 of J1 (CLKO) and is used to synchronize the output
data to the logic analyzer.
Power Supplies
The EV kits require separate analog and digital power
supplies for best performance. Separate 3.3V power
supplies are used to power the analog circuit blocks of
the converter (VDUT) and the clock-shaping circuit
(VCLK). To evaluate single-ended clock-signal opera-
tion, 3.3V must be supplied to VCLK. Separate 1.8V
power supplies are used to power the digital circuit
block of the converter (VLDUT) and the buffer/driver, U2
(VL). The digital circuit blocks of the EV kits operate with
voltage supplies as low as 1.7V and as high as 3.6V.
Clock Input
The MAX12553, MAX12554, and MAX12555 accept dif-
ferential or single-ended clock input signals. However,
the EV kits only accept a single-ended clock signal.
The EV kits include circuitry that converts a single-
ended signal to a differential clock signal through a
transformer or a user-installed differential clock driver
IC (U5). The EV kits also include clock-shaping circuitry
for a single-ended clock-signal configuration. Jumper
JU5 must be configured for differential or single-ended
clock-signal operation. See Table 1 for jumper settings.
Transformer-Coupled Differential Clock
A single-ended signal connected to the CLOCK SMA
connector is converted to a differential signal by trans-
former T3. In this mode, diode D1 limits the clock-signal
amplitude. Using this diode in the signal path allows the
clock signal to be increased significantly without violat-
ing the absolute maximum ratings of the converter
inputs, as the diode clips the input signal. Overdriving
the clock input to the board (CLOCK SMA) results in an
increased slew rate, which, in turn, compensates for the
negative effects that clock jitter imposes on parameters
such as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and signal-to-noise
plus distortion (SINAD). See Table 2 for jumper settings.
Install a shunt across pins 1-2 of jumper JU5 for differ-
ential clock operation. Note: While in transformer-
coupled differential clock mode, power to VCLK
should not be applied unless R10 is turned to one
extreme to avoid unnecessary triggering of U6.
Unnecessary triggering could potentially disturb the
ground plane with unwanted spur energy.
Clock-Shaping Circuit with Variable Duty Cycle
An on-board variable duty-cycle, clock-shaping circuit
generates a single-ended clock signal from an AC-cou-
pled sine wave applied to the CLOCK SMA connector.
Measure the clock signal at pin 2 of jumper JU7 and
adjust potentiometer R10 to obtain the desired duty
cycle. See Table 2 for shunt positions. A 3.3V voltage
source must be connected across VCLK and GND to
power the clock-circuit comparators.
Input Signal
The MAX12553, MAX12554, and MAX12555 accept dif-
ferential or single-ended analog input signals. However,
the EV kits require only a single-ended analog input
signal. Because the amplitude of the received signal at
the ADC depends on the actual cable and bandpass
filter loss, account for these losses when configuring
the signal-input generator. In differential mode, on-
board transformers T1 and T2 take the single-ended
analog input connected to the AINP SMA connector
and generate a differential analog signal at the ADC’s
input pins. For direct single-ended or differential input-
signal operation, the EV kit board circuit modifications
are listed in the
Direct AC-Coupled Differential Input
and
Direct AC-Coupled Single-Ended Input
sections.

Direct AC-Coupled Differential Input
To evaluate the MAX12553/MAX12554/MAX12555 EV
kits with differential input signals directly connected to
the ADC input pins, modify the EV kits as follows:
1) Remove transformers T1 and T2.
2) Remove the short across resistor R15.
3) Remove R3 and R4.
4) Install 0resistors across R20 and R24.
5) Install 0.1µF ceramic capacitors across C51 and
C52.
6) Modify resistors R29 and R30 to match the source
impedance (e.g., 25resistors for a 50 differential
source impedance).
7) Connect the positive input-signal source to the
AINP SMA connector.
8) Connect the negative input-signal source to the
AINN SMA connector.
Direct AC-Coupled Single-Ended Input
To evaluate the MAX12553/MAX12554/MAX12555 EV
kits with a single-ended input signal directly connected
to the ADC input terminal, modify the EV kits as follows:
1) Remove transformers T1 and T2.
2) Remove resistor R3.
3) Install 0resistors across R20, R29, and R13.
4) Install a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor across C51.
5) Install a 1µF capacitor across C47.
6) Modify resistor R30 to match the source impedance
(e.g., a 50resistor for a 50source impedance).
7) Connect the positive input-signal source to the
AINP SMA connector.
Converter Power-Down
The MAX12553, MAX12554, and MAX12555 each fea-
ture an active-high global device power-down pin.
Jumper JU2 controls this feature. Other ICs on the EV
kits continue to draw quiescent current from the power
supplies. See Table 3 for power-down jumper settings.
Reference Voltage
The MAX12553, MAX12554, and MAX12555 require an
input-reference voltage at the converter’s REFIN pin to
set the full-scale analog-signal voltage input. The ADC
offers a stable on-chip reference voltage of 2.048V that
is accessed at the REFIN pad. The EV kits were
designed to use the on-chip reference voltage by short-
ing REFIN to REFOUT through resistor R12.
The user externally adjusts the reference level, hence
the full-scale range, by cutting open the PC trace short-
ing resistor R12 and installing the appropriate resistors
at locations R2 and R12 (located on the board’s com-
ponent side). Calculate the resistor values using the fol-
lowing equation:
where:
R2 = 10k±1%
VREFOUT = 2.048V
VREFIN = desired REFIN voltage in the 0.7V to
2.2V range
Alternatively, resistors R12 and R2 can be left unpopu-
lated and the ADC’s full-scale range set by applying a
stable, low-noise, external voltage reference directly at
the REFIN pad.
Shorting the REFIN pad to ground through resistor R2
disables the internal reference voltage. In this mode,
test points TP1 (REFP), TP2 (REFN), and TP3 (COM)
must be driven with stable reference voltages. Refer to
the
Analog Inputs and Reference Configurations
sec-
tion in the MAX12553, MAX12554, and MAX12555 IC
data sheets for further details. Note: To drive test
point TP3 with an external reference voltage, add a
0resistor across R27.
Output Coding
Set the digital output coding to either two’s-comple-
ment or Gray-code format by configuring jumper JU3.

Digital Output
The MAX12553, MAX12554, and MAX12555 feature a
14-bit, parallel, CMOS-compatible output bus. The out-
puts of the ADC are applied to an output buffer (U2)
capable of driving large capacitive loads that may be
present at the logic analyzer connection. The digital
outputs are valid on the rising edge of the CLKO output
signal. The outputs of the buffer are connected to a
40-pin header (J1) located on the right side of the EV
kits, where the user connects a logic analyzer or data-
acquisition system. See Table 5 for bit locations at
header J1. The signals are available on the J1 pins
closest to the edge of the EV kit boards.
