GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The evaluation board for the AD9874 and its accompanying
software provide a simple means to evaluate this highly inte-
grated IC. The AD9874 is a general-purpose IF subsystem that
digitizes a low level 10 MHz–300 MHz IF input with signal
bandwidths ranging from 6.8 kHz to 270 kHz. The signal chain
within the IC consists of a low noise amplifier, a mixer, a vari-
able gain amplifier, a band-pass - analog-to-digital converter,
and a decimation filter with programmable decimation factor.
Auxiliary blocks include clock and LO synthesizers as well as a
serial peripheral interface (SPI) port.
The functional block diagram shows the major blocks of the evalua-
tion board. The evaluation board is designed to be flexible, allowing
the user to configure it for different potential applications. The
power supply distribution block provides filtered, adjustable volt-
ages to the various supply pins of the AD9874. In the IF input

signal path, component pads are available to implement different
IF impedance matching networks. The LO and CLK signals can
be externally applied or internally derived from a user-supplied
VCO module interface daughter board. The reference for the
on-chip LO and CLK synthesizers can be applied via the external
FREF input or an on-board crystal oscillator.
The evaluation board is designed to interface to a PC via a National
Instruments NI 6533 series digital IO card. A XILINX FPGA
formats the data between the AD9874 and digital I/O board.
Software, developed using National Instruments' LabVIEW™
and provided as Windows
the configuration of the SPI port registers and analysis of the
AD9874's output data. This software provides a convenient
graphical user interface, allowing easy access to the various
SPI port configuration registers along with real-time frequency
and time domain analysis of its output data.
