Function
VDD
Positive Power Supply for the Analog and the Digital Interface Sections. The
on-board 2.5 V regulator is also supplied from VDD. VDD can have a value
from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. A 0.1 mF and a 10 mF decoupling capacitor should be
connected between VDD and AGND.
CAP/2.5 V
The digital circuitry operates from a 2.5 V power supply. This 2.5 V is generated
from VDD using an on-board regulator (when VDD exceeds 2.7 V). The
regulator requires a decoupling capacitor of typically 100 nF, which is connected
from CAP/2.5 V to DGND. If VDD is equal to or less than 2.7 V, CAP/2.5 V
should be tied directly to VDD.
DGND
Digital Ground.
AGND
Analog Ground.
COMP
A DAC Bias Pin. This pin is used for decoupling the DAC bias voltage.
VOUT
Voltage Output. The analog and digital output from the AD9833 is available at
this pin. An external load resistor is not required because the device has a
200 W resistor on board.
MCLK
Digital Clock Input. DDS output frequencies are expressed as a binary fraction
of the frequency of MCLK. The output frequency accuracy and phase noise
are determined by this clock.
SDATA
Serial Data Input. The 16-bit serial data-word is applied to this input.
SCLK
Serial Clock Input. Data is clocked into the AD9833 on each falling SCLK edge.
FSYNC
Active Low Control Input. This is the frame synchronization signal for the input
data. When FSYNC is taken low, the internal logic is informed that a new word is
being loaded into the device.
