The power supply should be able to source up to 1A to cover all the board’s operating conditions. A low jitter clock source (< 0.5psec RMS) should be used for the DACCLK. A sinusoidal clock output level of 0 to 4dBm is optimal. By default, the DAC outputs are connected to SMA connectors for evaluation. Both DAC outputs are available.

 + Introduction 
 +The AD9747/6/5/3 Evaluation Board connects to the Analog Devices Digital Pattern Generator (DPG) or System Demonstration Platform (SDP-H1, PN: EVAL-SDP-CH1Z) to allow for quick evaluation of the AD9747/6/5/3. The DPG or SDP-H1 allows the user to create many types of digital vectors and transmit these at speed to the AD9747/6/5/3 in any of the AD9747/6/5/3 operating modes. The AD9747/6/5/3 evaluation board is configured over USB with accompanying PC software. 
 +  
 +Software Installation 
 +The DAC Software Suite plus AD9747/6/5/3 Update should be installed on the PC prior to 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 https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/dpg/dacsoftwaresuite. This will install DPGDownloader (for loading vectors into the DPG2) and the AD9747/6/5/3 SPI Controller application. However, ACE, a newer evaluation software from ADI, is the preferred evaluation software over the legacy SPI control graphical user interface (GUI). ACE can be downloaded from the ACE website at www.analog.com/ace. The ACE plug-in for the evaluation board, which is also required, is available for download on the AD9747/6/5/3 eval webpage in the software section at http://www.analog.com/en/design-center/evaluation-hardware-and-software/evaluation-boards-kits/EVAL-AD9747.html#eb-related software.

 +Hardware Setup 
 +Once the DPGDownloader software is installed, the hardware can be connected as shown below. A single 5V power supply powers the evaluation board. The power supply should be able to source up to 2A to cover all the board’s operating conditions. A low jitter clock source (< 0.5psec RMS) should be used for the DACCLK. A sinusoidal clock output level of 0 to 4dBm is optimal. By default, the DAC outputs are connected to SMA connectors for evaluation. Both DAC outputs are available. Later in the document, the modifications for observing the modulator output and different clocking options will be shown.

 Power up the DPG and connect the USB cable to the PC. Next, run the DPGDownloader Software. A shortcut will be installed to your Start menu during the installation of the DAC Software Suite. To begin, click on the DPGDownloader shortcut in your Programs menu, typically at Start > Programs > Analog Devices > DPG > DPGDownloader. Power up the DPG and connect the USB cable to the PC.

-There are 6 pin jumpers on the evaluation board corresponding to the 6 supplies on the board. They serve as ‘switches’ that determine if the LDOs on board or external supplies are used for each individual supply. They are shunted by default, which means on board LDOs  are used. When an external supply is necessary, pull off the shunt from the corresponding supply and connect the external supply to the SMA test points close to the jumper.+There are 6 pin jumpers on the evaluation board corresponding to the 6 supplies on the board.
