- | ===== Hardware Setup ===== | + | |
- | Connect +5.0V to P5, GND to P6. A low phase noise high frequency clock source should be connected to the SMA connector, J1. This is the DACCLK input. The spectrum analyzer should be connected to the SMA connector, J4. A +1.0V power supply must be connected to the VTT probe point near SMA connector J9, along with a GND connection to the GND probe point next to it. The evaluation board connects to the DPG3 through the connectors P4. The PC should be connected to the EVB using the mini-USB connector XP2 after installation of the Evaluation Board software. Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the set-up. | + | |

- | A low phase noise high frequency clock source should be connected to the SMA connector J1. A spectrum analyzer should be connected to the SMA connector J4. J5, J14 and J17 of the EVB should be connected to an oscilloscope. The evaluation board connects to the ADS7 through the connector P4. The PC should be connected to the EVB using the mini-USB connector XP2 after installation of the Evaluation Board software. Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the set-up. | + | |
- | ===== Getting Started ===== | ||
- | The PC software is included in the CD shipped with the EVB. The installation will include the DPG Downloader and ACE software as well as all the necessary AD9144 files including schematic, board layout, datasheet, and other files. | ||
- | ==== Initial Set-Up ==== | ||
- | 1. Install the DPG Downloader and ACE software and support files on your PC. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard and use the default (recommended) installation settings. | ||
- | 2. Plug the AD9144-FMC-EBZ into port FMC_1 of the ADS7 System. Use a USB cable to connect the EVB to your PC and connect the lab equipment to the EVB as shown in Figure 1. \\ \\ | ||
- | 3. Connect the ADS7 unit to your PC via USB and turn on the ADS7. \\ \\ | ||
