AD9152 Evaluation Software
The AD9152 Evaluation Board software runs on the easy-to-use SPIPro graphical user interface (GUI).
It is included on the Evaluation Board CD. Registers on the AD9152 and AD9516 products are
programmed via a USB cable connecting the user's PC to the AD9152-FMC-EBZ XP2 connector.
Software in the AD9152-FMC-EBZ PIC processor (XU1) provides the interface between the USB bus
and the SPI busses of the AD9152 and AD9516.
Hardware Setup
A low phase noise high frequency clock source should be connected to the SMA connector J1, This is
the DACCLK input. The spectrum analyzer should be connected to the SMA connector,J4 or J17. The
evaluation board connects to the ADS7 through the connectors P3. The PC should be connected to the
EVB using the mini-USB connector XP2 after installation of the Evaluation Board software. Figure 1
shows the block diagram of the set-up.

Getting Started
The PC software is included in the CD shipped with the EVB. The installation will include the DPG
Downloader software as well as all the necessary AD9152 files including schematic, board layout,
datasheet, and other files.
