AD6624/AD6624A Evaluation Board and Software
Introduction
The AD6624/AD6624A Evaluation Kit provides a very simple means to evaluate the AD6624 (or AD6624A), its filtering capability, and its features. To facilitate control of the Evaluation board hardware, Evaluation Board software is provided. The SoftCell Filter Design software can be used to design filters that can be loaded directly in to the Evaluation Board software. The AD6624 (AD6624A) is programmable using the Evaluation Board Software and may be used to verify the performance of the AD6624/AD6624A. The Evaluation Software can also analyze the output captured from the Evaluation board.
Evaluation Board
- One AD6624 (or AD6624A) soldered to the evaluation board
- 9 V wall transformer power supply
- Header output that makes serial outputs of the AD6624 (AD6624A) available
- Can be configured into existing radio architectures for in-system evaluations
- Interfaces directly with the AD6600, AD6640, AD6644, and AD6645 ADC Evaluation Boards/Tools
- Can be interfaced with any ADC with data rates up to 80 MSPS (100 MSPS for AD6624A) with an appropriate test adapter
- Includes high speed 16 K deep FIFO memory (deeper FIFOs in same foot-print available from IDT) that can capture ADC data directly or the filtered data out of the AD6624 (AD6624A)
- Interfaces to a bi-directional PC printer interface (IEEE-1284) (cable not included)

Software
- Runs on a personal computer using Windows 95, 98, NT 4.0 service pack 3, 2000, or Windows XP.
- Filter design files created with the SoftCell Filter Design software can be directly downloaded.
- NCO frequency can be swept manually to determine the real frequency characteristics of the designed filter.
- Supports full featured scripting language to perform read/write and other functions on AD6624 directly.
- Can perform up to 16 K real/complex FFT using the FIFO supplied on the Evaluation board. The software can support 256K FFT if a superior compatible FIFO is used.
- Full data logging features
- Setup save feature for quick return to previously saved setup
- Self-test to verify communication with Evaluation Board hardware
- Software download from website is the latest revision and usually supercedes the version on CD-ROM.
