GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9146-M5375-EBZ connects to a digital pattern generator
(
DPG3 ) or a system demonstration platform ( SDP-H1 ) to
evaluate the AD9146 device. The AD9146 controls the AD9146-
M5375-EBZ serial peripheral interface (SPI) port, which is
obtained by downloading the
ACE software and AD9146 plug-in
(see the Software Setup section for additional information).
Via the SPI port, the device under test (DUT) and clock
circuitry can be programmed into any of the various operating
modes. To ease the subsystem evaluation, the
AD9516-0 clock
distribution chip and the ADL5375 quadrature modulator are
designed into the AD9146-M5375-EBZ.
For full details on the
AD9146 , see the AD9146 data sheet,
which must be used in conjunction with this user guide and
the AD9146-M5375-EBZ evaluation board.
