AD9161/AD9162/AD9163/AD9164
EVALUATION BOARDS DIFFERENCES
The differences between the AD9161, AD9162, AD9163, and
AD9164
evaluation boards are the DAC package and the output
balun, as shown in Table 1. For example, different variants of
the AD9162-FMC-EBZ and AD9164-FMC-EBZ use a Marki
BAL-0009SMG balun, while the AD9162-FMCB-EBZ and
AD9164-FMCB-EBZ use the mini-circuits TC1-1-43A+ balun.

The insertion loss, the phase mismatch, and the amplitude
mismatch of these baluns are different at each frequency.
Therefore, the DAC output fundamental amplitude response
and the spurious levels can be slightly different. The typical
fundamental amplitude responses (without the cable loss
calibration) are shown in Figure 17.
