ADC keeps outputting negative numbers, how?
I have some digital waveforms, during the idle interval, it's zero, while in
active mode, some patterns are output. This waveform is send through DAC (TI DAC290x-EVM) and ADC (Analog AD9218). I am expecting a clean zeros during the idle interval, however the ADC output are not. How can I correct this problem? Thanks in advance. |

IF there an AC component to your reading during idle? If the error is small, it is probably system noise. -- Thad |

I channel of DAC is fed into oscilloscope and Q channel to ADC. From what I saw, during idle interval, bits 4,5,6 (0~9) have level changes during the idle and active interval. I am setting DFS/GAIN pin to low for ADC board, and the DAC's I channel waveform lies between -20mV~20mV (idle) ~ 0.8V(active) on oscilloscope. |
