The ADS4246EVM is a circuit board that allows designers to evaluate performance of ADS4246 device, an extremely low power dual channel 14bit 160MSPS analog to digital converter. Innovative design techniques are used to achieve high dynamic performance, while consuming low power with 1.8V supply. The EVM provides a flexible environment to test the ADS4246 under a variety of clock, input and supply conditions. Open sockets are provided for an external VCXO and crystal band pass filter allowing for rapid evaluation of a combined high performance ADC and clocking circuit equivalent to a final system level solution. Alternatively an external clock source can be provided to the EVM and either routed through the CDCE72010 or passed directly to the ADS4246 clock input. The ADS4246EVM is directly compatible to TSW1200EVM, high speed LVDS output ADC data capture card. It is also compatible with Altera and Xilinx FPGA EVMs which have FMC or HSMC connectors, via the appropriate interposer card.
