- | ^ Item ^ AD9106-EBZ ^ AD9102-EBZ^ | + | The AD910x-ARDZ-EBZ evaluation setup can be powered by USB only and does not require a high-frequency waveform generator for clock input. The evaluation board has an on-board 156.25 MHz crystal oscillator. To fit the evaluation system in a small form factor and manage power consumption within USB specifications, |

+ | ===== Reconfiguring the Evaluation Board ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | On-board jumpers and other hardware provisions are listed, and their functions described in Table 1. Meanwhile, the test points are enumerated and described in Table 2. | ||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | \\ ==== Clock Configuration ==== | ||
+ | The evaluation board has a provision for on-board or external clocking configuration. | ||
+ | * The on-board clocking configuration is implemented by default. DAC CLKP and CLKN are connected to the differential outputs of the on-board crystal oscillator | ||
+ | * For external clocking configuration, | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | ==== Output Configuration==== | ||
+ | The evaluation board has a provision to connect the DAC Outputs to the RF Balun Transformer or an 0n-board ADA4817-2 Amplifiers. <note important> | ||
+ | * The DAC outputs are connected to the RF Balun Transformer by default as shown in figure 3. | ||
+ | * To use On-board ADA4817-2 Amplifiers, change JP1 and JP2 connections | ||

+ | To properly observe the other patterns out of the amplifiers, replace C25, C26, C54, and C55 with 0Ω resistors or remove the capacitors then solder each pair of pads together. Waveforms are shown in Figures 17a to 18c. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The common-mode voltage of the amplifier outputs can also be changed by installing resistors for DC offset correction of amplifier inputs. Refer to Table 1. Keep C25, C26, C54, and C55 pads shorted. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | The on-board amplifiers can be characterized using off-board power supplies by removing E1 and E2 then connecting 5.2V 0.2A across TP5 and ground and -5.2V 0.2A across TP4 and ground. Refer to Table 2. | ||

+ | ===== Troubleshooting ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This section lists items to check and practices to use when debugging any unexpected performance of a board. If unexpected results occur | ||
+ | * Restart the program by stopping pattern generation and pressing “Disconnect” from the terminal window. Press “Connect” again then follow the application menu. | ||
+ | * Power down the whole system by disconnecting the wall wart, if using, and the USB cable from SDP-K1, then power up the system again following the steps in the Quick Start Guide. | ||
+ | * Measure voltages on the evaluation board. Refer to Table 2. If the voltages are off by 10% or more from the rated values, check if there are problems on component assembly or look for damaged ICs. Re-solder or replace components if necessary. | ||
+ | * If signal amplitude is lower than expected, compare oscilloscope settings to the recommended setup in the Quick Start Guide. Check for loose cable connections or try changing SMA-to-BNC cables. Loose connections and cable damage cause impedance mismatch. | ||
+ | * If there is no output at all, check if clock input to AD9106 / AD9102 is stable by measuring clock leakage. Connect one of the evaluation board outputs to a spectrum analyzer. Boards and the clock source should be powered up but the DAC should not be generating a pattern. A low-power tone should be detected at the clock frequency. Otherwise, the clock source is not properly driving the clock input pins. Try using an off-board continuous waveform generator as clock source or if already using, try increasing waveform generator output signal level to 3 dBm. | ||
