POWER SUPPLIES
The AD9146-M5375-EBZ has a 5 V dc power supply.
HARDWARE SETUP
Take the following steps to setup the AD9146-M5375-EBZ
evaluation board and associated hardware.
The AD9146-M5375-EBZ can be connected to one of two
pattern generators, the
. The two possible
setups are depicted in Figure 2 and Figure 4. The
is the
preferred option, in terms of cost, size, and overall performance.
The following steps assume that either the
is setup, but not both:
1.
Connect a 5 V dc power supply to the P5 and P6 banana
jacks.
2.
If using the
, connect the P1 and P2 male connectors
on the AD9146-M5375-EBZ to the
female connectors on the
3.
Connect the provided USB cable from the PC to the USB
connector on the
4.
Connect a 12 V dc power supply to the power supply
connector outlet on the
5.
Connect a clock source to the Subminiature Version A
(SMA) J1 jack (CLKIN) on the AD9146-M5375-EBZ and
set the clock to 1.8 GHz and 0 dBm. The
buffers
this clock and distributes the signals with proper frequencies
to the AD9146-M5375-EBZ and the
6.
To monitor the desired output of the AD9146-M5375-EBZ,
connect a spectrum analyzer to the SMA jacks, J3 (DAC1_P),
J8 (DAC2_P), or J6 (MOD_OUT) for the I channel, Q
channel, and modulator output, respectively.
7.
connects through the P1 and P2 connectors,
and the USB cable connects to the mini USB connector,
XP2 USB, on the AD9146-M5375-EBZ.
8.
Install the
plug-in, choosing
also to install the
application, which
is included as an option in the
download, before
connecting the USB cable to the PC.
