DESCRIPTION
LTM9004
14-Bit Direct Conversion
Receiver Subsystem
Demonstration circuit 1513 isan evaluation boardfeaturing
Linear Technology Corporation’s LTM
®
9004 14-bit direct
conversion receiver subsystem. DC1513 demonstrates
good circuit layout techniques and recommended external
circuitry for optimal system performance.
DC1513 comes with Linear Technology’s 14-bit LTM9004
receiver subsystem installed. The board includes out-
put CMOS buffers. DC1513 plugs into the DC890 data
QUICK START PROCEDURE
acquisition demo board and the output can be easily ana-
lyzed with Linear Technology’s PScope™ data processing
software, which is available for no charge on our website at
http://www.linear.com/software.
Design files for this circuit board are available at
http://www.linear.com/demo
Validating the performance of the LTM9004 is simple
with DC1513, and requires only two input sources, a
clock source, a computer, and a lab power supply. Refer
to Figure 1 for proper board evaluation equipment setup
and follow the procedure below:
1. Connect the power supply as shown in Figure 1. There
are onboard low noise voltage regulators that provide
the two supply voltages for the DC1513. The entire
board and all components share a common ground.
The power supply should still be a low noise lab power
supply capable of supplying at least 0.5A at 5VDC, and
1A at 3VDC.
2. Provide an encode clock to the ADC via SMA connec-
tor J7. Use a low-phase-noise clock source such as
a filtered RF signal generator or a high quality clock
oscillator.
NOTE:Similar to having a noisyinput, a highjitter (phase
noise) encode clock will degrade the signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) of the system.

3. Apply an RF input signal to the board. For best results,
use a low distortion, low noise signal generator with
sufficient filtering to avoid degrading the performance
of the receiver.
4. Apply an LO input signal to the board. Note that the
difference in frequency between this signal and the RF
signal will be the IF frequency resulting at the IF filter
and ADC input.

OTHER BOARD CIRCUITRY
Device U1 is an EEPROM device that is used by the PScope
software to identify the board and apply the correct set-
tings for the data collection.
USING PSCOPE SOFTWARE
PScope, downloadable from Linear Technology’s website
http://www.linear.com/, processes data from the DC890
data acquisition board and displays FFT and signal analysis
information on the computer screen.
The onboard EEPROM U1 should enable automatic board
detection and auto configuration of the software, but if the
user wishes to change the settings, they can easily do so.
From the configure menu in the toolbar, uncheck autode-
tect device. The default settings for DC1513 are shown
in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Entering the Correct Device Information for Your ADC.
Select the Correct Parameters for the DC1513. Under Normal
Conditions, PScope Should Automatically Recognize the Board
and Adjust the Software Settings Accordingly.
