WHAT’S IN THE BOX
AD9789-EBZ Evaluation Board
Evaluation Board CD
Mini-USB Cable
RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

Spectrum Analyzer
+5Vdc Regulated Power Supply (>1.5Amp)
Data Pattern Generator Series 2 (DPG2)
INTRODUCTION
The AD9789-EBZ Evaluation Board connects to a DPG2 to allow for quick evaluation of the AD9789. Control of the SPI port in the
AD9789 is available through USB with accompanying PC software. The AD9789-EBZ allows evaluation of both CMOS and LVDS modes,
as well as numerous interface modes of the AD9789. The DPGDownloader software automatically formats the data sent to the DPG2 to
account for the interface mode.
SOFTWARE
The AD9789-EBZ is designed to receive data from a DPG2. The DAC Software Suite, plus the AD9789 Update, is required for evaluation.
The DAC Software Suite is included on the Evaluation Board CD, or can be downloaded from the DPG web site at
http://www.analog.com/dpg. This will install DPGDownloader (for loading vectors into the DPG2) and the AD9789 SPI Controller
application.
HARDWARE SETUP
Connect a +5Vdc power supply to the banana jacks (P5 and P6). The clock source (AC or DC coupled) should be connected to the SMA
jack labeled S1 (HF_DACCLK), and the spectrum analyzer should be connected to the SMA jack labeled S5 (AOUT_DAC-). The DPG2
connects through connector J3 and J4, and the USB cable should be connected to XP2. Note that the PC software needs to be installed
before connecting the USB cable to your computer.
