Introduction
The AD9136/AD9135-EBZ connects to a DPG3 for quick evaluation of the
high-speed, signal processing Digital to Analog Converter. The DPG3 automatically formats the data
and sends it to the AD9136/AD9135-EBZ, simplifying evaluation of the device. The Evaluation Board
(EVB) runs from a +5V supply. A clock distribution chip AD9516 is included on this EVB as a clock
fan-out and frequency divider for the DACCLK, REFCLK and DPG3 input clock. Figure 2 is an image of
the top side of the AD9136-EBZ.
