GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The 

AD9834

 is a 75 MHz, low power DDS device capable of 

producing high performance sine and triangular outputs. It 
also has an on-board comparator that allows a square wave to 
be produced for clock generation. Consuming only 20 mW of 
power at 3 V makes the 

AD9834

 an ideal candidate for power-

sensitive applications. 
The 

EVAL-CN-304-SDZ

 board is used in conjunction with a 

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

 board available from Analog Devices, Inc. The 

USB to SPI communication to the 

AD9834

 is completed using 

this Blackfin®

-

based development board.  

A high performance, on-board 75 MHz trimmed general oscillator 
is available to use as the master clock for the 

AD9834

 system. 

Various links and SMB connectors are also available on the 

EVAL-CN-304-SDZ

 board to maximize the usability.  

Complete specifications for the 

AD9834

 are provided in the 

AD9834

 data sheet, available from Analog Devices. Consult the 

AD9834

 data sheet in conjunction with this user guide when 

using the evaluation board.
