Using the AD9741/AD97473/AD9745/AD9746 Evaluation Boards

 

The evaluation boards for the AD9741/AD97473/AD9745/AD9746/AD9747 are identical except for the DUT installed.  The operation of 
the eval boards is also the same except for the vector generation “DAC Resolution” field and the Data Width fields as shown below.  
These fields should be configured to match the DUT. 

 

 
Selecting the Modulator Outputs

 

By  default,  solder  jumpers  JP4,  JP5,  JP6,  and  JP7  configure  the  DAC  outputs  to  be  observed  at  SMA  outputs  J5  and  J9.    This  jumper 
setting is shown in Figure 4 a).  To connect the DAC outputs to the LPF and the ADL537x analog quadrature modulator, the solder 
jumpers  need  to  be  repositioned  as  shown  in  Figure  4  b).      The  modulator  output  can  be  observed  thru  the  SMA  connector  J6 
(MODULATED OUTPUT).    The modulator LO input can be sourced thru SMA connector J10 (LOCAL OSC INPUT).    The clock level 
into the modulator should be set to about 3dBm.
