lime6002 loopback problem

[Глеб Давыдов]

Hi!

I have two boards with lms6002. I try to start the board in loopback mode. And I get a good result on the first board, and on the second board with the same settings the data on the ADC output is overflowing.
I try change 0x64[5-2] ,but this is the best result. Before starting I rinning automatic calibration:

After calibration I configure loopback:
0x853e
0x9480
0xa480
0xc403
0xf000
0xd400
0xc604
0x8820
0xd79c
0xb406
0xda20
0xb412

On the first board at the output of the ADC, I get the expected signal. (see attached board1_max.png)
On the second board at the output of the ADC, I get an overflowed signal. (see attached board2_max_new.png)
I'm reducing the output level, the signal looks better, but there are problems (see attached board2_div2_new.png)
Even lowering the level of the input signal, I get the expected signal.(see attached board2_div4_new.png)

I'm sure that the calibration is passing. What am I doing wrong? Why on different boards a different result?

Regards, Gleb.

board2_div2_new looks like there is a stuck bit.  Check your FPGA interface and make sure all the appropriate bits are toggling?  Maybe put a ramp into the signal path and see how that behaves?
