(DDS) and allows programming the device and monitoring it's internal status registers. It also programs the ADF4350 [http://www.analog.com/ADF4350] clock chip which can generate a 1.6GHz to 2.5GHz clock for the AD9739A from the on-board 25MHz crystal. An alternate clock path using an ADCLK914 [http://www.analog.com/ADCLK914] is available for driving the clock externally.

SMA jack (OUT/J1). This quick start program uses a 2.5GHz DAC clock and generates a 300MHz tone. Adjust your spectrum analyzer accordingly. On the AD9739A-FMC board, ensure that the SPI source jumper (SPI SRC/P2) is set http://wiki.analog.com/resources/fpga/xilinx/fmc/ad9739a?force_rev=1...

FMC and the clock source jumper (CLK SRC/P3) is set to crystal (XTAL). The USB connection on the AD9739A-FMC-EBZ and the SMA Clock Input (SMA CLKIN/J3) are not used in this example. After the hardware setup, turn the power on to the ML605.

TV (CATV) system. It is employed by many cable television operators to provide data access over their existing infrastructure. It has many specification, certification, and testing criteria. Below are example ACLR and spur measurements for this card with the AD9739A running at 2.5GHz with carrier(s) centered at 980MHz.
The DDS consists of a Xilinx DDS IP core and a DDR based data generator. The core generates 6 samples at every fDAC/3 clock cycles for each port of AD9739A. The frequency of the DDS as well as the LUT entries are programmable via SDK.
The above list is partial and only lists the key parameters for reference. Hardware Reference There are several hardware options available on the AD9739A-FMC-EBZ: Clock Selection Two clock paths are availabe to drive the clock input on the AD9739A-FMC-EBZ. The factory default option connects the ADF4350 to the AD9739A [http://www.analog.com/ADF4350]...

The software for controlling the ADF4350 clock chip is installed to the start menu at Start > Programs > Analog Devices > AD9739A > ADF4350 SPI for AD9739A-FMC-EBZ. Once open, select File…Open Setup File. Browse for the file 2_5GHz for AD9739A.ini, which is located in Analog Devices\HSDAC\AD9739A inside your Program Files directory (usually C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files(x86)).
