Introduction
The AD9136/AD9135-EBZ connects to a DPG3 for quick evaluation of the AD9136/AD9135, a
high-speed, signal processing Digital to Analog Converter. The DPG3 automatically formats the data
and sends it to the AD9136/AD9135-EBZ, simplifying evaluation of the device. The Evaluation Board
(EVB) runs from a +5V supply. A clock distribution chip AD9516 is included on this EVB as a clock
fan-out and frequency divider for the DACCLK, REFCLK and DPG3 input clock. Figure 2 is an image of
the top side of the AD9136-EBZ.

This will install DPGDownloader (for generating and loading vectors into the DPG3) and AD9136/AD9135 SPI software. Hardware Setup Connect +5.0V to P5, GND to P6. A low phase noise high frequency clock source should be connected to the SMA connector, J1.
