 +There are two versions of the  [[adi>AD9681|AD9681]] evaluation board [[adi>AD9681|AD9681-125EBZ]]. 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.

 Before using the software for testing, configure the evaluation board as follows:  Before using the software for testing, configure the evaluation board as follows: 
-  - Connect the evaluation board to the data capture board, as shown in Figure 1.+  - Connect the evaluation board to the data capture board, as shown in Figure 1. The Tyco connector version slides horizontally to connect to the [[adi>hsadcevalboard|HSC-ADC-EVALDZ]]. For the FMC connector version, align the FMC connector of the [[adi>AD9249|AD9249-65EBZ]] over the connector on the [[adi>hsadcevalboard|HSC-ADC-EVALEZ]], and carefully press them together. Note that FMC connectors often come from the factory with a sticker that prevents connection. Remove this sticker (if present) before attempting to make the connection.
   - On the ADC evaluation board, confirm that the jumpers are installed as shown in Figure 2.   - On the ADC evaluation board, confirm that the jumpers are installed as shown in Figure 2.

-  - Connect the [[adi>hsadcevalboard|HSC-ADC-EVALDZ]] board (P702) to the PC using a USB cable. +  - Connect the capture board to the PC using a USB cable. 
   - On the ADC evaluation board, use a clean signal generator with low phase noise to provide an input signal to the desired channel(s). Use a shielded, RG-58, 50Ω coaxial cable (optimally 1 m or shorter) to connect the signal generator. For best results, use a narrow-band, band-pass filter with 50Ω terminations and an appropriate center frequency. (Analog Devices, Inc. uses TTE, Allen Avionics, and K&L band-pass filters.)   - On the ADC evaluation board, use a clean signal generator with low phase noise to provide an input signal to the desired channel(s).

 The evaluation board provides the support circuitry required to operate the [[adi>AD9681|AD9681]] 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>AD9681|AD9681]] in its various modes and configurations.
