QUICK START GUIDE TO THE AD9523
The AD9523 can be initialized at startup from either the
EEPROM or from SPI settings. The AD9523 evaluation board
ships with initial settings programmed in the EEPROM. It is
advised that the user first use the preprogrammed EEPROM
settings before proceeding onto software control.
To load the values stored in the EEPROM:
1.
Ensure that the EEPROM pin is pulled high by placing the
P4 EEPROM_SEL jumper of the evaluation board across
the center and left (high) pin (see Figure 3).
2.
Connect a signal generator to REF A SMA Connector J9.
By default, the reference inputs on this evaluation board
are ac-coupled and terminated 50 Ω to ground. An
amplitude setting of 6 dBm is sufficient and the frequency
should be 30.72 MHz.
3.
Connect an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, or other lab
equipment to OUT1 SMA connector on the right side of
the board. This output connector is a single-ended output
of a differential pair.
4.
Connect the 6 V power supply. This automatically loads
the EEPROM settings into the AD9523 (the EEPROM
configurations are similar as shown in Figure 6).
To load the provided setup file:
1.
Follow the instructions provided in the Evaluation Board
Software Setup section.
2.
Ensure that the EEPROM pin is pulled low by placing the
P4 EEPROM_SEL jumper of the evaluation board across
the center and right (low) pin (see Figure 3).
3.
Connect a signal generator to REF A SMA Connector J9.
By default, the reference inputs on this evaluation board
are ac-coupled and terminated 50 Ω to ground. An
amplitude setting of 6 dBm is sufficient and the frequency
should be 30.72 MHz.
4.
Connect the 6 V power supply.
5.
Provided on the CD is a setup file called
AD9523_983plan_122p88MHz_VCXO_DoublerON.stp
located in the
Setup Files
directory. Load this setup file
using the
File
menu from the main software window. The
main window should appear as shown in Figure 6.
6.
Click the
CAL VCO
button located in the
PLL 2
box of
7.
Connect an oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, or other lab
equipment to OUT1 SMA connector on the right side of
the board. This output connector is a single-ended output
of a differential pair. A picture of phase noise profile is
located in the same directory as the setup file with the
same file name (with .png extension).
ESD Caution
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device
. Charged devices and circuit boards can discharge without detection. Although this product features patented or proprietary protection
circuitry, damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy ESD. Therefore, proper ESD precautions should be taken to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
