Introduction
The AD9142A-M5372-EBZ connects to a DPG2 for quick evaluation of the AD9142A, a high-speed,
signal processing Digital to Analog Converter. The DPG2 automatically formats the data and sends it
to the AD9142A-M5372-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 DPG2 input clock. Also included is a quadrature
modulator ADL5375 for quick DAC+IQMOD evaluation. Figure 2 is an image of the top side of the
AD9142A-M5372-EBZ.

Quick Start The “Quick Start” tab has selections that apply to the general configuration of the DAC. Reset DAC is recommended every time when the DAC is powered on or reset. Interpolation Rate allows the user to select among the 3 interpolation modes (2X, 4X, and 8X). When the NCO is used, set NCO Enable to 1, fill in the NCO frequency tuning word with the desired value and toggle SPI Update Request. - Page 9 Note: When viewing the modulator output, a local oscillator (LO) must be connected to J15 (”LO_IN”) to properly modulate the signals © Analog Devices, Inc.
