AD5930
EVALUATION BOARD
The AD5930 evaluation board allows designers to evaluate the
high performance AD5930 DDS modulator with minimum
effort.
The evaluation board interfaces to the USB port of a PC. It is
possible to power the entire board off the USB port. All that is
needed to complete the evaluation of the chip is either a
spectrum analyzer or a scope.
The DDS evaluation kit includes a populated and tested
AD5930 printed circuit board. The EVAL-AD5930EB kit is
shipped with a CD-ROM that includes self-installing software.
The PC is connected to the evaluation board using the supplied
cable. The software is compatible with Microsoft® Windows®
2000 and Windows XP.
A schematic of the evaluation board is shown in Figure 40 and
Figure 41.
Data Sheet
Using the AD5930 Evaluation Board
The AD5930 evaluation kit is a test system designed to simplify
the evaluation of the AD5930. An application note is also
available with the evaluation board and gives full information
on operating the evaluation board.
Prototyping Area
An area is available on the evaluation board for the user to add
additional circuits to the evaluation test set. Users may want to
build custom analog filters for the output or add buffers and
operational amplifiers to be used in the final application.
XO vs. External Clock
The AD5930 can operate with master clocks up to 50 MHz. A
50 MHz oscillator is included on the evaluation board.
However, this oscillator can be removed and, if required, an
external CMOS clock can be connected to the part.
