CONFIGURE THE EVALUATION BOARD 

After configuring the FPGA board (

ADS7-V2EBZ

), configure 

the AD9166-FMC-EBZ evaluation board using the hardware. 
Perform the following steps:  

1.

 

Open the 

ACE

 software from 

Start

 >

ACE)

. A window appears similar to Figure 5.  

2.

 

Open the evaluation board view by double clicking the 
AD9166-FMC-EBZ evaluation board icon, as shown in 
Figure 5. 

3.

 

Using the 

AD9166 STARTUP WIZARD

 on the left side of 

the window, follow these steps, as shown in Figure 12: 
a.

 

Select 

SERDES Mode

 in the

dropdown list. 

b.

 

Select 

ADF4372

 from the 

DAC Clock Source

 

dropdown box in the 

AD9166 STARTUP WIZARD

 

(see Figure 4) . 

c.

 

Set 

FDAC

 to 4.9152 GHz.  

d.

 

Set 

Interpolation

 to 1. 

e.

 

Set 

Serdes Lanes

 to 8. Note that 8 is the only 

supported lane number for 1× interpolation (bypass) 
mode. The minimum interpolation ratio is 1 for the 

AD9166

.
