INTRODUCTION
AD9102 EVALUATION BOARD
The AD9102 is a Digital to Analog converter and Waveform Generator. The AD9102-EBZ evaluation board includes a PIC 18F4550
processor programmed to function as a PC USB interface to the SPI port of the device. And an AD9514 clock chip that takes in an up to
1440Mhz signal from the clock source and provides the CLKP/N input to the AD9102. The EVB runs from a single 5 volt supply. Figure
12 is a photo of the top side of the AD9102 EVB.
AD9102 EVALUATION SOFTWARE GUI
The AD9102 Evaluation Board GUI software (Figure 1 and Figure 2) has a number of tabs. Each tab allows the user to view or manually
program a subset of AD9102 registers and on-chip data RAM. The RAM tab lets the user download vectors to the RAM. The AD9102
evaluation board CD includes RAM vectors for use with example files described below where appropriate. The DAC1 tab works with the
AD9102 DAC. The DAC2, DAC3 and DAC4 tabs are not used with this product. The DAC tab depicts the waveform generation signal
chain for the AD9102 DAC. The Register Write Sequence tab is used to select and write register configuration files to the AD9102.
Further details on the evaluation software can be found in AD9102 Evaluation System Notes below.
CONFIGRATION EXAMPLE FILES
This quick start guide describes how to set up and run six configuration examples using the AD9102 control panel GUI software. The
AD9102 evaluation board CD includes the configuration files shown in Table 1 for each example. Configuring and running the examples
is accomplished by downloading these files using the control panel GUI, by following the method described in the Quick Start Procedure
below.
