GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The
AD9912
AD9912 direct digital synthesizer (DDS). It easily connects to a
host computer via a USB interface and allows easy access to all
AD9912 features via the Windows®-based evaluation software
and graphical user interface.
This document provides instructions for the setup and installa-
tion of the board and software and includes a description
of the various software menus and hardware connections.
Additional evaluation board details are available in the AD9912
evaluation board schematics on the included CD-ROM.
This document covers both Revision A and Revision B of the
AD9912 evaluation board. The two versions differ in that
Revision B has a convenient connection for a 1 kΩ pull-down
resistor on the loop filter pin, whereas Revision A does not.
The AD9912/PCBZ operates over an industrial temperature
range, spanning −40°C to +85°C.
