| ==== What's in the Box ==== | |
| * AD9739-EBZ Evaluation Board | =====Preface===== |
| * Mini-USB Cable | This user guide describes both the hardware and software setup needed to acquire data capture from [[adi>eval-ad9739|AD9739-R2-EBZ]] evaluation board to characterize [[adi>AD9739]] 14-Bit, 2.5 GSPS, RF Digital-to-Analog Converter. |
| * AD9739 Evaluation Board CD | |
| ==== Recommended Equipment ==== | This guide shows how AD9739-R2-EBZ works with SDP-H1 or ADS7-V2 controller board developed by Analog Devices. Link to the previous user guide document is provided for customers who still have the DPG3 controller board. |
| * Digital Pattern Generator (DPG2): ADI HSC-DAC-DPG-BZ | |
| * +5Vdc Power Supply Ex: Agilent E3630A | =====Typical Setup===== |
| * DAC Clock Source Ex: Rohde Schwarz SML 02 | {{ :resources:eval:dpg:ad9739_spd-h1.jpg?nolink&600 |}} |
| * Spectrum Analyzer Ex: Agilent PSAA or Rohde Schwarz FSU | <WRAP centeralign>//Figure 1a. EVAL-AD9739 Setup with SDP-H1//</WRAP> |
| * PC: Windows PC with 2 or more USB ports | |
| ==== Introduction ==== | {{ :resources:eval:dpg:ad9739_ads7.jpg?nolink&600 |}} |
| The AD9739 Evaluation Board connects to the Analog Devices Digital Pattern Generator (DPG2) to allow for quick evaluation of the AD9739. The DPG2 allows the user to create many types of digital vectors and transmit these at speed to the AD9739 in any of the AD9739 operating modes. The AD9739 evaluation board is configured over USB with accompanying PC software. | <WRAP centeralign>//Figure 1b. EVAL-AD9739 Setup with ADS7-V2//</WRAP> |
| ==== Software Installation ==== | |
| The DAC Software Suite plus AD9739 Update should be installed on the PC prior connecting the hardware to the PC. The DAC Software Suite is included on the Evaluation Board CD, or can be downloaded from the DPG web site at http://www.analog.com/dpg. This will install DPGDownloader (for loading vectors into the DPG2) and the AD9739 SPI Controller application. | <note tip>Tip: Click on any picture in this guide to open an enlarged version.</note> |
| ==== Hardware Setup ==== | |
| To operate the board, a power supply capable of +5vdc, 2A should be connected to J17. A spectrum analyzer or an oscilloscope to view the DAC output should be connected to J1/J2 (depending on board version). The diagram in Figure 1shows the location of each connection. A low jitter (< 0.5psec RMS) sine or square wave clock source should be connected to J3. The DC level of the clock is unimportant since the clock is AC-coupled on the evaluation board before the CLKP/N inputs. The included USB cable should be used to connect the Evaluation Board to a PC. | |

| | =====Quick Start Guide===== |
| | - Attach the evaluation board to the FMC connector of SDP-H1 or ADS7-V2 using the AD-DAC-FMC-ADP adapter board. Connect continuous wave generator for clock input to J3, and the DAC output from J1 to a signal/spectrum analyzer. Connect the evaluation board to PC via USB, a 5Vdc 2A power supply to J17. Refer to Figures 1a and 1b. |
| | * If using **SDP-H1**, set clock input to **300 MHz and 0 dBm**. Connect SDP-H1 to PC via USB and to a 12Vdc wall wart. |
| | * If using **ADS7-V2**, set the clock input to **2 GHz and 0 dBm**. Connect ADS-V2 to PC via USB and to a 12V 60W AC/DC power supply. Switch the board ON using S1 beside the connector for 12V supply. |
| | - Open ACE. The board will automatically be recognized by the software. Otherwise, install the plugin for AD9739 evaluation board. From the AD9739-EBZ tab, Click **“Run Example Startup Routine (Sync Disabled)”**. |
| | * If using **SDP-H1**, The MU Controller Locked indicator should light up as shown in figure 2a. |
| | * If using **ADS7-V2**, The first three indicators should light up as shown in figure 2b. <WRAP centeralign>{{ :resources:eval:dpg:ad9739_ace_boardview.png?nolink&600 |}}//Figure 2a.

ACE Initial Board Configuration Wizard for ADS7-V2//</WRAP> |
| | - Double click the AD9739 Box to open chip view. |
| | * If using **SDP-H1**, The DLL_LOCKED indicator should light up as shown in figure 3a. |
| | * If using **ADS7-V2**, All three indicators should light up as shown in figure 3b. <WRAP centeralign>{{ :resources:eval:dpg:ad9739_ace_chipview.png?nolink&600 |}}//Figure 3a.

ACE Initial Board Configuration Wizard for ADS7-V2//</WRAP> |
| | - Start DPG Lite or DPG Downloader. |
| | * At the SDP-H1 settings, ensure that Evaluation board is equal to AD9739 and **DCO frequency** of around **75 MHz** should be displayed. |
| | * At the ADS7-V2 settings, ensure that Evaluation board is equal to AD9739 and **DCO frequency** of around **500 MHz** should be displayed. |
| | - In DPG Lite or DPG Downloader, from the **Add Generator Waveforms** pulldown menu, select **Single Tone** and apply the settings as shown in Figures 4a and 4b. |
| | * When using SDP-H1, set **Data Rate** to 300 MHz and **Desired Frequency** to 20 MHz. |
| | * When using ADS-V2, set **Data Rate** to 2 GHz and **Desired Frequency** to 180 MHz. |
| | - Continuing on setting up DPG Lite or DPG Downloader, set **DAC resolution** to 14 bits. Check off the **Unsigned Data** box. |
| | - Select the Single Tone from the **Data Vector** pulldown menu \\ <WRAP centeralign>{{ :resources:eval:dpg:ad9739_dpg_sdph1.png?nolink&600 |}}//Figure 4a.

| | - Press the download arrow and then the play button. The FFT plots similar to Figures 5a and 5b should appear in the signal/spectrum analyzer.\\ <WRAP centeralign>{{ :resources:eval:dpg:ad9739_fout_sdp-h1.png?nolink&600 |}}//Figure 5a.

| | =====Troubleshooting===== |
| | This section lists items to check and practices to use when debugging any unexpected performance of a board. If unexpected results occur: |
| | * Check if the Voltage supply test points of the evaluation board has the correct value. |
| | * Check if all (3) blue LEDs on the AD-DAC-FMC-ADP board is lit up. Reconnect the board to the FMC connector of SDP-H1 if not lit up. |
| | * Check if the SDP-H1 is being supplied properly by 12Vdc adaptor. Some LEDs on the SDP-H1 should lit up. |
| | * Power cycle both the SDP-H1/ADS7-V2 and the AD9739 evaluation board. |
| | * Check on the Spectrum Analyzer if the DAC clock inputs are properly driven. For 300MHz clock using SDP-H1, the spectrum analyzer should detect a weak signal at 300MHz. For 2GHz clock using ADS7-V2, the spectrum analyzer should detect a weak signal at 2GHz. If not detected, check properly the clock source and connections. |
| | * Disconnect and reconnect the SDP-H1 /ADS7-V2 and AD9739 evaluation board. Reopen DPG Lite software. |
