- | ===== 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 | + | |
- | (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 AD9747 application software, DPGDownloader, | + | |
- | This will install DPGDownloader required for loading vectors into the DPG2 and configuring the AD9747 | + | |
- | ===== 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 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. | + | |

- | It is suggested that the basic set-up is verified before making any modifications to the evaluation | + | |

- | * Spectrum Analyzer J5(IOUT1_P) or J9 (IOUT2_P) | + | |
- | * DPG2 P1 and P2 | + | |
- | * SDP-H1 | + | |
- | ===== DPGDOWNLOADER SOFTWARE ===== | + | |
- | 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 | + | |
- | The basic parts of the DPGDownloader window are; Hardware Config Panel, EVB Config, Vector Generation Pull-Down Menu, Vector Palette, Vector Selection Panel and the Download and Play buttons. | + | |
- | {{ : | + | |
- | Figure 5. DPGDownloader Window | + | |
- | * - If the AD9747 evaluation board has been recognized by the PC, “AD9747 RevB” should be populated in the Evaluation Board field in the Hardware Config panel. | + | |
- | * - Generate a sinewave by pulling down the “Add Generated Waveform” menu and choosing “Single Tone”. Fill in the form as shown in Figure 5 (Sample Rate = 100MHz, Desired Frequency = 17.0MHz, etc.). Select the I and Q data vectors in the data selection panel. | + | |
- | * - Configure the eval board by writing the value 01 to register 1E1. This configures the AD9747 to use the CLK input to drive the clock path. | + | |
- | {{ : | + | |
- | * - Bypass the clock dividers on the AD9516. | + | |
- | {{ : | + | |
- | * - The DCO frequency field in the DPGDownloader window should now be reading something close to 100MHz. | + | |
- | * - Next hit the download button. This transfers the data from the PC to the DPG memory. | + | |
- | * - When the vector has finished downloading, | + | |
- | * - The output from J5 and J9 should be a clean 29MHz tone as shown below: | + | |

- | These fields should be configured to match the DUT. | + | |

- | ===== Selecting the Modulator Outputs ===== | + | |
- | By default, solder 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 6 a). To connect the DAC outputs to the LPF and the ADL537x analog quadrature modulator, the solder jumpers need to be repositioned as shown in Figure 6 b). 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. | + | |
- | {{ : | + | |
- | ===== Eval Board Jumper Options ===== | + | |
- | 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. | + | |
