2.2 GETTING STARTED
2.2.1 Configuration Requirements
To power-up and run the evaluation kit, the following are required: · Pipeline ADC Utility Software · MCP37X1X-200 12-Bit 200 Msps ADC VTLA Evaluation Board (ADM00619) · MCP37XXX High-Speed Pipeline ADC Data Capture Card (ADM00506) · Two 5V Power Supplies · A USB-A to USB Mini-B Cable · External Clock Source or Crystal Oscillator (see Section 2.2.4.1 "Optimizing the
Clock Connection") · External Signal Input (see Section 2.2.4.2 "Optimizing the Analog Input
Connection")
2.2.2 Power Input Connection
This evaluation kit comes with two switching power supplies (Mean Well: GS06U-1P1J): one for each of the boards. These power supplies are able to provide a 5V, 1A maximum output. They can be connected to an AC wall outlet rated between 90V AC and 264V AC, at a frequency of 47 Hz to 63 Hz. The other end of the power supply is a 2.1 mm barrel plug that connects to both the evaluation board and the data capture card (see Figure 2-1). If the user chooses to connect a different external power supply, a minimum output of 750 mA is required. The evaluation board's power supplies can also be supplied by external voltages directly to the power domains. This can be done by disabling the desired regulator using the dip switch SW2 - Regulator Enable on the silkscreen. Then, a DC voltage can be driven directly into the appropriate pin of header J16. Note that the even pins of the J16 header are GND. The power domains on the evaluation board may be merged, if needed. Specifically, the 1.2VA and 1.2VD power domains may be merged by populating a ferrite bead on FB10. Similarly, the 1.8VA and 1.8VD power domains may be merged by populating a ferrite bead on FB11. In both cases, the digital regulators should be disabled using the appropriate switches.
WARNING
Avoid connecting a power supply with a voltage greater than 5V. Doing so can damage the voltage regulators, requiring them to be replaced.

2014-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
2.2.3 Evaluation Kit Set-Up
1. Connect the evaluation board and the data capture card as shown in Figure 2-1. 2. Power up both boards using the supplied 5V Power Supplies. 3. Ensure that a clock input is connected or that a crystal oscillator is installed
correctly. Follow instructions in section Section 2.2.4.1 "Optimizing the Clock Connection".
1: Note: If this is done correctly, the CAL DONE LED will be ON. Otherwise, the user should check the clock input or crystal oscillator for issues.
4. Connect the data capture card to a computer using the provided USB cable. 5. Press the Reset button on both boards. 6. Run the Pipeline ADC Utility Software. For help with troubleshooting the boards and operating the GUI, please refer to the software's supporting documentation.
WARNING
Avoid applying an input signal while the board is powered off. This may damage the input baluns! If a high second harmonic is seen, it is likely that these baluns need to be replaced.

2.2.4 Input/Output Optimization
2.2.4.1 OPTIMIZING THE CLOCK CONNECTION
The evaluation board does not come with a clock source for the device. The user must provide a clock source in order to run this evaluation board. The user has the following options:
· Using Microchip's 200 MHz Clock Source Evaluation Boards: - Microchip's ADM00725 or ADM00791 evaluation boards may be connected to the external clock SMA input (See Figure 2-1). These boards were developed as an optimized clock source for Microchip's High-Speed ADCs. For more information, refer to the board web page.
· Using a signal generator: - A clean and low-jitter clock signal can be connected to the external clock SMA input. For the signal generation, Rohde & Schwarz® SMA100A or Agilent Technologies HP8644B signal generators can be used. To ensure that a clean and low-jitter clock signal is provided, the user should interpose a band-pass filter to reduce the harmonics coming from the signal source. A 200 MHz band-pass filter, such as KC4T-200M-10P-50-3A from TTE® Inc., is recommended. A high-jitter or unfiltered clock source will reduce achievable SNR at higher input frequencies.
· Using a Crystal Oscillator on the board: - An unpopulated footprint is available on the board where the user can place a crystal oscillator. For a single-ended clock, refer to the instructions in Example 1. For a differential clock, refer to the instructions in Example 2. The user may also choose to place another type of clock as well. Note that the component values given below are for example only and may vary depending on the exact clock source used.
Example 1
A clock oscillator with a single-ended output may be populated on Y2. The use of a Microchip oscillator is recommended, such as the MXT573ABC200M000 for a 200 MHz clock. In this case, proceed to make the following modifications:
1. Remove R36 2. Populate R89 with a 499 resistor 3. Populate C106 with a 15 pF capacitor.
Example 2
A clock oscillator with a differential LVPECL output may be populated on Y2. The use of a Microchip oscillator is recommended, such as the MXT575ABA200M000 for a 200 MHz clock. In this case, proceed to make the following modifications:
1. Remove R36 and R136 2. Populate R89 and R90 with a 210 resistor 3. Populate C105 and C106 with a 22 pF capacitor.
2.2.4.2 OPTIMIZING THE ANALOG INPUT CONNECTION
The best way to evaluate the MCP37X1X-200 device is to use a clean analog input signal with as little noise as possible. The signal can be provided using a signal generator, such as Rohde & Schwarz SMA100A or Agilent Technologies HP8644B, and can be used along with a bandpass filter. The filter will help with filtering the harmonic tones of the fundamental, as well as with reducing the phase noise of the source. Two such filters that can be used are:

MCP37X1X-200 12-Bit 200 Msps ADC VTLA Evaluation Kit User's Guide
· KC4T-70M-15P-50-69A, TTE Inc.'s 70 MHz filter · KC4T-20M-15P-50-69A, TTE Inc.'s 20 MHz filter
Note:
If one of the analog inputs appears to not work properly, exhibiting issues such as a high 2nd harmonic or substantially lower fundamental power, it is likely that the baluns on that input network are damaged. Replacing them should resolve these issues.
2.2.4.3 OUTPUT DATA CONFIGURATION
The MCP37X1X-200 device is able to provide both LVDS and CMOS outputs. However, this evaluation kit is designed for LVDS outputs only. The user can modify various other output data properties using the GUI, with the exception of the LVDS/CMOS output mode.
