HDL Design Description
In the ADI Reference Designs HDL User Guide can be found an in-depth presentation and instructions about the HDL design in general.
The reference design uses the standard SPI Engine Framework with an integrated pwm generator, which will provide the required conversion rate for the ADC.
HDL Block Diagram
Steps for building the HDL design:
- Confirm that you have the right tools (the reference design requires Vivado 2021.1)
- Clone the HDL GitHub repository (the project is located at pulsar_adc_pmdz)
- Set up the required sampling rate (see caption Design Configuration)
- Build the project (see https://wiki.analog.com/resources/fpga/docs/build)
Design Configuration
The reference design uses a clock generator for the divison of the spi clock and a pwm generator for the conversion signal. The required parameters can be set in https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/hdl/blob/master/projects/pulsar_adc_pmdz/common/pulsar_adc_pmdz_bd.tcl file using the following values, where the PULSE_0_PERIOD is computed as Tcyc_min/Tspi_clk:
