TIDA-00432, Synchronization of JESD204B Giga-Sample ADCs using Xilinx Platform for Phased Array Radar Systems

TIDA-00432, Synchronization of JESD204B Giga-Sample ADCs using Xilinx Platform for Phased Array Radar Systems. This system level design shows how two ADC12J4000 evaluation modules (EVMs) can be synchronized together using a Xilinx VC707 platform. The design document describes the required hardware modifications and device configurations, including the clocking scheme. Example configuration files are shown for each EVM. The FPGA firmware is described and the relevant Xilinx IP block configuration parameters are shown. Data taken on the actual hardware is shown and analyzed, showing synchronization within 50 ps without characterized cables or calibrated propagation delays
