AD6600

The layout of the Encode circuit is equally critical. Any noise
received on this circuitry will result in corruption in the digitiza-
tion process and lower overall performance. The Encode clock
must be isolated from the digital outputs and the analog inputs.
Evaluation Board
The evaluation board for the AD6600 is straightforward, con-
taining all required circuitry for evaluating the device. The only
external connections required are power supplies, clock and the
analog inputs. The evaluation board includes the option for an
on-board, clock oscillator for encode.
Power to the analog supply pins of the AD6600 is connected via
the power terminal block (TB1). Power for the digital interface
is supplied via Pin 1 of J201, or the VDD e-hole located adja-
cent to J201. The VDD supply can vary between 3.3 V to 5.0 V
and sets the level for the output digital data (J201). The J201
connector mates directly with the AD6620 (Receive Signal
Processor) evaluation board, Part # AD6620S/PCB, allowing
complete evaluation of system performance.
The two analog inputs are connected via SMA connectors
AIN and BIN, which are transformer-coupled to the AD6600
inputs. The transformers have a turns-ratio of 1:4 to match
the input resistance of the AD6600 (200
) to 50 at the
SMA connectors.
The Encode signal may be generated using an on-board crystal
oscillator, U100. If an on-board crystal is used, R104 must be
removed from the board to prevent loading of the oscillator’s
output. The on-board oscillator may be replaced by an external
encode source via the SMA connector labeled ENCODE. If an
external source is used, it must be a high quality and very low
phase noise source. The high IF range of the AD6600 (70 MHz
–250 MHz) demands that the Encode clock be sufficiently pure
to maintain performance.
The AD6600 output data is latched using 74LCX574 (U201,
U202) latches. The clock for these latches is determined by
jumper selection on header J1. The clock can be a delayed ver-
sion of the encode clock (CLKA, CLKB), or the CLK2
× gener-
ated by the AD6600. A clock is also distributed with the output
data (J201) that is labeled CLKX (Pin 11, J201). The CLK
× is
selected with jumpers on header J1 and can be CLKA, CLKB,
or CLK2
×.
The resonant LC filter components (SEL2, C2 and C3) are
omitted. The user must install proper values based on the IF
chosen. See Understanding the External Analog Filter section of
the data sheet for guidelines on selecting these components.
