Output Frequency or DAC Output Frequency Is
Not Correct
Check the board crystal. The board crystal (Y61 in Figure 3)
can be 120 MHz (for the AD9161, AD9162, and
devices) or 122.88 MHz (for the
correct reference clock in the AD916x Startup Wizard
according to the correct crystal frequency.
External Clock Switch Does Not Work
On a small number of released evaluation boards, the
software selection for the external clock does not actuate the RF
switch to connect the external clock to the DAC clock input.
The root cause of this issue is a bug in the firmware loaded on the
PIC microcontroller that is on the evaluation board. The
firmware inadvertently omits control of the general-purpose
input/output (GPIO) line that controls the RF switch.
Consequently, though the
ACE
switch does not actuate due to the firmware not controlling the
GPIO line. If this issue is encountered, the evaluation board
must be reprogrammed with new firmware. Contact a local
Analog Devices sales person or distributor to arrange for this
reprogramming to be done.
