Getting Started with the AD9783/81/80 Evaluation Board
WHAT'S IN THE BOX
AD9783-DPG2-EBZ Evaluation Board
Mini-USB Cable
AD9783 Evaluation Board CD
INTRODUCTION
The AD9783,1,80 Evaluation Boards (model AD978x-DPG2–EBZ) connect directly to the Analog Devices Digital Pattern
Generator 2 (DPG2) to allow for quick evaluation of the AD9783 family of DACs. The DPG2 allows the user to create many types
of digital vectors and transmit these at speed to the AD9783 in any of the DAC operating modes. The AD9783 evaluation board is
configured over USB with accompanying PC software. The evaluation board includes the ADL5375 quadrature modulator and the
ADCLK905 clock buffer so the board can be configured as a transmit chain in addition to evaluating the DAC as a standalone part.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The AD9783 application software should be installed on the PC prior connecting the hardware to the PC. The DAC Software Suite
is included on the Evaluation Board CD, or can be downloaded from the DPG web site at http://www.analog.com/dpg. This will
install DPGDownloader (for loading vectors into the DPG2) and the AD9783 SPI Controller application.

To begin, click on the DPGDownloader shortcut in your Programs menu, typically at Start > Programs > Analog Devices > DPG > DPGDownloader. The basic parts of the DPGDownloader window are: Hardware Config Panel, SPI GUI Launch Button, Vector Generation Pull- Down Menu, Vector Palette, Vector Selection Panel and the Download and Play buttons.
