EVALUATION BOARD OVERVIEW
BOARD MODELS
The different board models are all listed in Table 1.
Certain early revisions of the evaluation boards shipped with a
122.88 MHz on-board crystal oscillator. The
designed to detect the evaluation board and make it function
appropriately.

The AD9207, AD9209, and AD9177 do not have individual evaluation boards. The ACE plugin has specific modes that can be used within the AD9081-FMCA-EBZ for
either the AD9209 or AD9177 and within the AD9082-FMCA-EBZ for the AD9207.

EVALUATION BOARD CONNECTION OVERVIEW
Figure 5 shows the basic hardware setup required to evaluate
the AD9081, AD9082, AD9986, or AD9988. Note that the
AD9082-FMCA-EBZ is shown in Figure 5 as an example. This
setup uses the on-board clock to manage the clocks for the
AD9082 as well as the FPGA for proper functioning of the
transceivers.
