AD6634 Evaluation Board and Software
Introduction
The AD6634 Evaluation Kit provides a very simple means to evaluate the AD6634, its filtering capability, and its features. To facilitate control of the AD6634 Evaluation board hardware, AD6634 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 AD6634 is programmable using the Evaluation Software and may be used to fully verify the performance of the AD6634. The Evaluation Software can also analyze the output captured from the AD6634 Evaluation board.
Evaluation Board
- One AD6634 soldered to the evaluation board
- 9 V wall transformer for power supply
- Header output that makes parallel/link outputs of the AD6634 available
- Can be configured into existing radio architectures for in-system evaluations
- Interfaces with most 40-pin connector ADCs (50-pin connector ADCs need an appropriate adapter card) with data rates up to 80 MSPS
- Includes high speed 16 K deep FIFO memory (deeper FIFOs available in same foot-print from IDT) that can capture ADC data directly or the filtered data out of the AD6634
- 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 AD6634 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 deeper 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 is the latest revision and supercedes the version on CD-ROM.
