| - | * AD9739-R2-EBZ Evaluation Board | + | |
| - | * Mini-USB Cable | + | |
| - | * AD9739 Evaluation Board CD | + | |
| - | ==== Recommended Equipment | + | |
| - | * Digital Pattern Generator (DPG2): ADI HSC-DAC-DPG-BZ | + | |
| - | * +5Vdc Power Supply Ex: Agilent E3630A | + | |
| - | * Low Phase Noise Clock Source or ADF4350 Evaluation Board | + | |
| - | * Spectrum Analyzer Ex: Agilent PSA or Rohde & Schwarz FSU | + | |
| - | * PC: Windows PC with 2 or more USB ports | + | |
| - | ==== Introduction ==== | + | |
| - | 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. | + | |
| - | ==== 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:// | + | |
| - | ==== 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 (See Figure 1). 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. | + | |
| - | {{ : | + | |
| - | ==== Evaluation Board Editions ==== | + | |
| - | The AD9739 Evaluation Board has four versions: “Normal” (AD9739-EBZ), | + | |
| - | <note important> | + | |
| - | The four editions differ only in the output stage configuration. The software used to evaluate all four boards is identical.</ | + | |
| - | === R2 === | + | |
| - | The new R2 board is designed to allow evaluation of the AD9739 over the entire operating range. It uses a TC1-33-75G2+ balun transformer, | + | |
| - | {{ : | + | |
| - | === Normal === | + | |
| - | In normal mode, there is no filter and the only components are the 90Ω resistors to terminate the DAC outputs and the two transformers (balun and center tap) as shown below. | + | |
| - | {{ : | + | |
| - | === Mix-Mode === | + | |
| - | The Mix-Mode configuration is targeted at applications using the 2nd and 3rd Nyquist zones using the analog mix mode. In this application, | + | |
| - | {{ : | + | |
| - | === CMTS === | + | |
| - | This configuration was for applications targeting cable infrastructure applications up to 1GSPS. In this configuration, | + | |

| - | ===== Getting Started ===== | + | |
| - | This quick-start will setup a single-tone output from the AD9739 to provide a brief introduction to the part, as well as a basic functionality test. Note that while this is a valid setup on all three versions of the board, it should not be used for performance measurements. For performance testing, ensure that an appropriate vector and frequency plan is used with the correct board version. To begin, open the AD9739 SPI application (Start > Programs > Analog Devices > AD9739-EBZ > AD9739 SPI). Connect a +5Vdc power supply to J17, and connect a 2GHz, 0dBm clock to J3. | + | |
| - | ==== Enable Mu Controller ==== | + | |
| - | In order to optimize and lock the Mu Controller, it is only necessary to have the DAC clock running (no data needs to be presented). Click the MU_ENA button in the MU Controller section of the SPI controller, as shown in Figure 5. Then run the SPI controller by clicking on the Run button ({{: | + | |
| - | {{ : | + | |
| - | ==== Generating a Test Vector ==== | + | |
| - | Open DPGDownloader (Start > Programs > Analog Devices > DPG > DPGDownloader). Ensure that “AD9739” is selected in the Evaluation Board drop-down list. For this evaluation board, “LVDS” is the only valid Port Configuration, | + | |
| - | Click on Add Generated Waveform, and then Single Tone, as shown below. A Single Tone panel will be added to the vector list. Start by entering the Clock Frequency (2GHz in this case). You can enter 2G in the box. Next, enter 200MHz (200M) as the desired frequency of the tone. The DAC Resolution should be set at 14 bits. Next, in the lower portion of the screen, select “1: Single Tone” as the Data Vector. The other options can be left at their default. | + | |

| - | After the DPG2 is correctly setup, click the Download button ({{: | + | |
| - | ==== Enable LVDS Controller ==== | + | |
| - | Once the pattern is loaded into the DPG2 and running, the final step is to enable the LVDS Controller. In the AD9739 SPI controller, enable the RCV_LOOP and RCV_ENA buttons. Click the Run button ({{: | + | |

| - | ==== Result ==== | ||
| - | The final result of this setup should be as shown below. | ||
| - | {{ : | ||
| - | ===== SPI Controller ===== | ||
| - | The SPI controller software is broken up into numerous sections. Several of them are described here, as they pertain to the evaluation board. For complete descriptions of each SPI register, see the AD9739 datasheet. In the interest of continuous quality improvements, | ||
| - | ==== SPI Settings and Powerdown/ | ||
| - | {{ : | ||
| - | These bits (shown to the right) control the operation of the SPI port on the AD9739, as well as the master reset and individual power-down bits. Changing the SDIO DIR or DATADIR bits will cause the SPI controller application to stop functioning correctly. Do not change these bits. The Reset button is “sticky”, | ||
| - | ==== Controller Clock Controls and Analog FS controls ==== | ||
| - | {{ : | ||
| - | The Controller Clock controls enable the Mu Controller and LVDS controllers. For normal operation, both of these should be enabled. The Clock GEN PD switch powers down the clocking structure, and should be left disabled for normal use. The DAC current ouput has an adjustable full-scale value. The FSC Setoption allows for this adjustment. | ||
| - | After running the SPI controller, the full-scale current in miliamps will be displayed here. | ||

| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | =====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/ | ||
| + | * 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. | ||
| - | The status read back bits for the mu controller are as follows: | ||
| - | * MU_LCK: Register 0x2A bit 0 (value of 1 means the controller is locked) | ||
| - | * LST_LCK: Register 0x2A bit 1 (Value of 1 means the control lost lock) | ||
| - | In order to read back the present MU Delay and phase value, it is necessary to set the Read bit high and then | ||
| - | low before the values can be read back: | ||
| - | * Read: Register 0x26 Bit 3 | ||
| - | * Mu Delay Readback: Register 0x28 bits 0-7 and 0x27 bits 6,7 | ||
| - | * (Total of 9 bits in the read back the maximum Mu delay value is d432 or x1B0) | ||
| - | * MUD_PH_Readback: | ||
| - | In order to use the Mu controller in manual mode the following bits are utilized: | ||
| - | * Mu Controller Enable: Register 0x26 Bit 0 (Set to 0 to disable the controller) | ||
| - | * MU_DEL_Manual: | ||
| - | ==== LVDS Receiver Controls ==== | ||
| - | * RCV_LOOP - On (Register 0x10 bit 1 set to 1) | ||
| - | * RCV_ENA - On (Register 0x10 bit 0 set to 1) | ||
| - | * LCKTHR - 2 (Register 0x15 bits 0-4) | ||
| - | * RVCR_GAIN - 1 (Register 0x11 bit 0 set to 1) | ||
| - | * FINE_DELAY_MID - 7 (Register 0x11 bits 2-5) | ||
| - | * FINE_DELAY_SKEW - 2 (Register 0x13 bits 0-4) | ||
| - | * Sample_Delay: | ||
| - | Register 0x12 Optimal value is 166 which is the center of the delay line. The maximum delay value is d333 or x14D. | ||
| - | * DCI_Delay: Must be equal to the Sample_delay. Register 0x13 bits 4-7 Register 0x14 bits 0-5. Optimal value is also 166 which is the center of the delay line. The maximum delay value is d333 or x14D. | ||
| - | To ensure that the LVDS Controller is locked and tracking check the status of the following bits: | ||
| - | * RCVR Lock (Register 0x21 bit 0) This should be high if the controller is locked | ||
| - | * TRK_ON (Register 0x21 bit 3) This should be high if the controller is tracking | ||
