Introduction
The AD9142A-M5372-EBZ connects to a DPG2 for quick evaluation of the AD9142A, a high-speed,
signal processing Digital to Analog Converter. The DPG2 automatically formats the data and sends it
to the AD9142A-M5372-EBZ, simplifying evaluation of the device. The Evaluation Board (EVB) runs
from a +5V supply. A clock distribution chip AD9516 is included on this EVB as a clock fan-out and
frequency divider for the DACCLK, REFCLK and DPG2 input clock. Also included is a quadrature
modulator ADL5375 for quick DAC+IQMOD evaluation. Figure 2 is an image of the top side of the
AD9142A-M5372-EBZ.
