-===== INTRODUCTION ===== +
-The AD9747 Evaluation Board connects to the Analog Devices Digital Pattern Generator (DPG2, PN: ADI HSC-DAC-DPG-BZ; or DPG3, PN: AD –DPG3) or System Demonstration Platform (SDP-H1, PN: EVAL-SDP-CH1Z) to allow for quick evaluation of the AD9747. The DPG2 or SDP-H1 allows the user to create many types of digital vectors and transmit these at speed to the AD9747 in any of the AD9747 operating modes. The AD9747 evaluation board is configured over USB from a panel within the DPGDownloader software. +
-(Note: The AD9747 operation is described in detail. The operation of the other devices in the family is described in a later section.) +
-===== 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-relatedsoftware .  +
-===== HARDWARE SETUP (DAC OUTPUT) ===== +
-Once the DPGDownloader software is installed, the hardware can be connected . A single 5V power supply powers the evaluation board. 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. Later in the document, the modifications for observing the modulator output and different clocking options will be shown. +
-  * The evaluation board plugs directly into the DPG2 or DPG3. +
-The PC connects to both the DPG2 and the evaluation board through USB cables as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2  +
-  * The evaluation board plugs into the AD-DAC-FMC-ADP adapter board that plugs into the SDP-H1. +
-The PC connects to both the SDP-H1 and the evaluation board through USB cables as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4.+
  
-(Note: The AD-DAC-FMC-ADP adapter board allows AD974x-DPG2-EBZ DAC Evaluation Boards to be used on SDP-H1 with a FMC connector.)  +This guide shows how AD974x-DPG2-EBZ works with SDP-H1 controller board developed by Analog DevicesLink to the old user guide document is provided for customers who still have DPG2 and DPG3 controller boards

-These fields should be configured to match the DUT+ 
-{{ :resources:eval:dpg:ad9747-9.png |}} +=====Quick Start Guide===== 
-===== Selecting the Modulator Outputs ===== +  - Attach AD9743-DPG2-EBZ/AD9745-DPG2-EBZ/AD9746-DPG2-EBZ/AD9747-DPG2-EBZ to SDP-H1 FMC connector using the AD-DAC-FMC-ADP adapter board. Connect continuous wave generator for clock input to J1 and DAC output from J8 to a signal/spectrum analyzer. Connect the evaluation board to PC via USB and to a 5V 1A power supply via banana plug cables. Refer to Figure 1. 
-By defaultsolder jumpers JP4, JP5, JP6, and JP7 configure the DAC outputs to be observed at SMA outputs J5 and J9. This jumper setting is shown in Figure 6a)To connect the DAC outputs to the LPF and the ADL537x analog quadrature modulatorthe solder jumpers need to be repositioned as shown in Figure 6b). The modulator output can be observed thru the SMA connector J6 (MODULATED OUTPUT). The modulator LO input can be sourced thru SMA connector J10 (LOCAL OSC INPUT). The clock level into the modulator should be set to about 3dBm. +  - Connect SDP-H1 to PC via USB and to a 12V 1A power supply. 
-{{ :resources:eval:dpg:ad9747-10.png |}} +  - Set clock input to 100MHz and 2dBm. 
-        Figure 6a) DAC Output Configuration                      Figure 6b) Modulator Output Configuration  +  - Open ACE. The board will be automatically recognized by the software. Otherwise, install the plugin for AD9747
-===== Eval Board Jumper Options ===== +  - Start DPG Lite or DPG Downloader. At the SDP-H1 part of the software, the device part number and clock frequency should be displayed
-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 on board LDOs or external supplies are used for each individual supplyThey 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. +  - In ACE, apply the default values in the Initial Configuration wizard as shown in Figure 2.{{ :resources:eval:dpg:ad9747_ace_boardview.png?600 |}}<WRAP centeralign>

 +  - In DPG Lite or DPG Downloaderfrom the Add Generator Waveforms pulldown menu select Single Tone and apply the settings as shown in Figure 3Set the desired frequency to 17 MHz. Set DAC resolution to the DAC’s number of bits (16 for AD974714 for AD9746, and so on). Check the Generate Complex Data (I & Qbox.{{ :resources:eval:dpg:ad9747_dpg-lite_sdp-h1.png?600 |}}<WRAP centeralign>
