ADS5546EVM, 14-bit 190 MSPS analog to digital converter Evaluation Module

ADS5546EVM is a circuit board that allows designers to evaluate the performance of Texas Instrument's ADS5546 device, a 14-bit 190MSPS analog to digital converter. The circuit board allows for the ability to evaluate the ADS5546 operating in either DDR LVDS output mode or CMOS output mode. An on-board FPGA decodes the ADC output mode and provides the ADC data on a CMOS output header. The evaluation module also allows designers to use either a transformer coupled input into the ADC or an amplifier input based on the THS4509. Although not needed for device evaluation, an optional expansion module is available allowing for an easy method to program the ADC register through a USB port
