A low phase noise high frequency clock source should be connected to the SMA connector J1. A
spectrum analyzer should be connected to the SMA connector J4. J5, J14 and J17 of the EVB should be
connected to an oscilloscope. The evaluation board connects to the ADS7 through the connector P4.
The PC should be connected to the EVB using the mini-USB connector XP2 after installation of the
Evaluation Board software. Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the set-up.
Getting Started
The PC software is included in the CD shipped with the EVB. The installation will include the DPG
Downloader software as well as all the necessary AD9144 files including schematic, board layout,
datasheet, and other files.
Initial Set-Up
1. Install the DPG Downloader and SPIPro software and support files on your PC. Follow the
instructions in the installation wizard and use the default (recommended) installation settings.
