GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

The AD9146-M5375-EBZ connects to a digital pattern generator 
(

DPG3

) or a system demonstration platform (

SDP-H1

) to 

evaluate the 

AD9146

 device. The 

AD9146

 controls the AD9146-

M5375-EBZ serial peripheral interface (SPI) port, which is 
obtained by downloading the 

ACE

 software an

AD9146

 plug-in 

(see the Software Setup section for additional information).  
Via the SPI port, the device under test (DUT) and clock 
circuitry can be programmed into any of the various operating 
modes. To ease the subsystem evaluation, th

AD9516-0

 clock 

distribution chip and the 

ADL5375

 quadrature modulator are 

designed into the AD9146-M5375-EBZ. 
For full details on the 

AD9146

, see th

AD9146

 data sheet, 

which must be used in conjunction with this user guide and 
the AD9146-M5375-EBZ evaluation board.
