GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This user guide is for the AD9166-FMC-EBZ evaluation board.
The evaluation board connects to an
pattern
generator for quick evaluation of the
, a high speed,
vector signal generator. The
automatically formats
the signal data and sends it to the evaluation board across a
JESD204B link, which simplifies evaluation of the device. The
evaluation board is powered by the field-programmable gate
array (FPGA) mezzanine card (FMC) power supply provided
through the
Figure 1 shows the top side of the evaluation board. The
evaluation board includes a clock buffer, the
, which
provides a reference clock to the
and SYSREF±
signals to both the
and the digital-to-analog
converter (DAC) integrated inside the
. The on-board
generates a sampling clock for the DAC.
The reference and sampling clocks can be connected externally
through the on-board Subminiature Version A (SMA) ports.
SYSREF± can be connected from an external source, such as an
FPGA development kit, across the FMC connector to the
The various clock configurations are outlined in Figure 3. The
clock paths can be selected by soldering 0 Ω resistors (jumpers)
in the correct locations on the evaluation board and configuring
the
as described in the On-Board
Complete specifications for the
can be found in the
data sheet available from Analog Devices, Inc., and
must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when
using the evaluation board.
