| | There are two versions of the [[adi>AD9249|AD9249]] evaluation board [[adi>AD9249|AD9249-65EBZ]]. The earlier version uses two 60 pin Tyco connectors (TE Connectivity AMP Connector 6469169-1) and interfaces to the [[adi>hsadcevalboard|HSC-ADC-EVALDZ]] capture board. The new version has an FMC connector (Samtec ASP-134488-01) and interfaces to the [[adi>hsadcevalboard|HSC-ADC-EVALEZ]] capture board. Both versions of the board perform the same function and this user guide applies to both. All boards ordered from March 2017 and later will be the new version. |

| The evaluation board provides the support circuitry required to operate the [[adi>AD9249|AD9249]] in its various modes and configurations. Figure 1 shows the typical bench characterization setup used to evaluate AC performance. It is critical that the signal sources used for the analog input and clock have very low phase noise (ideally ~100 fs rms jitter) to realize the optimum performance of the signal chain. Proper filtering of the analog input signal to remove harmonics and lower the integrated or broadband noise at the input is necessary to achieve the specified noise performance.\\ | The evaluation board provides the support circuitry required to operate the [[adi>AD9249|AD9249]] in its various modes and configurations.

| ==== Power Supplies ==== | ==== Power Supplies ==== |
| This evaluation board comes with a wall-mountable switching power supply that provides a 6V, 2A maximum output. Connect the supply to a 100V ac to 240V ac, 47Hz to 63Hz wall outlet. The output from the supply is provided through a 2.1mm inner diameter jack that connects to the printed circuit board (PCB) at P101. The 6V supply is fused and conditioned on the PCB before connecting to the low dropout linear regulators that supply the proper bias to each of the various sections on the board.\\ | This evaluation board comes with a wall-mountable switching power supply that provides a 6V, 2A maximum output.

| The evaluation board can be powered in a nondefault condition using external bench power supplies. To do this, remove the E102, E103, E110, and E113 ferrite beads to disconnect the on-board LDOs from the power planes. Note that in some board configurations some of these might already be uninstalled. P102 and P103 headers can be installed to facilitate connection of external bench supplies to the board. E106, E107, E108 and E109 need to be populated to connect P102 and P103 to the board power domains. A 1.8V , 0.5A supply is needed for both 1.8V_DUT_AVDD and 1.8V_DRVDD. Although the voltage requirements are the same for 1.8V_DUT_AVDD and 1.8V_DRVDD, it is recommended that separate supplies be used for each of these.\\ | The evaluation board can be powered in a nondefault condition using external bench power supplies.
