The mixed signal front-end (Apollo MxFE) is a highly integrated device with a 16-bit, 16GSPS maximum sample rate, RF digital-toanalog converter (DAC) core, and 12-bit, 8GSPS maximum sample rate, RF analog-to-digital converter (ADC) core. The AD9088 supports eight transmitter channels and eight receiver channels. The AD9088 is well suited for applications requiring both wideband ADCs and DACs to process signal(s) having wide instantaneous bandwidth. The device features a 48 lane, 28.21Gbps JESD204C or 20Gbps JESD204B data transceiver port, an on-chip clock multiplier, and a digital signal processing (DSP) capability targeted at either wideband or multiband, direct to RF applications. The AD9088 also features a bypass mode that allows the full bandwidth capability of the ADC and/or DAC cores to bypass the DSP datapaths. The device also features low latency loopback and frequency hopping modes targeted at phased-array radar systems and electronic warfare applications.

The AD9088 is available in a 24mm × 26mm, 899-ball BGA_ED and can operate over a junction temperature range of −40°C to +110°C.

Device Drivers 4

  • AD908x GitHub Linux Driver Source Code
  • HDL Reference Design

    • API Device Drivers 1

    Device Application Programming Interface (API) C code drivers provided as reference code that allows the user to quickly configure the product using high-level function calls. The library acts as an abstraction layer between the application and the hardware. The API is developed in C99 to ensure agnostic processor and operating system integration. Customers can port this application layer code to their embedded systems by integrating their platform-specific code base to the API HAL layer.

    To request this software package, go to the Software Request Form signed in with your MyAnalog account and under “Target Hardware” select “High Speed Data Converters” and choose the desired API product package. In addition, there are two SW packages available specifically for Apollo MxFE™. There is a PyApp/ACE evaluation package and there are FPGA bin files supporting various use cases. You will receive an email notification once the software is provided to you.

Evaluating the AD9088 Apollo MxFE

Buy Now View Details

Features and Benefits

  • Fully functional evaluation board for the AD9088 Apollo mixed-signal front-end RF transceivers (MxFE™)
  • On-board clock management
  • On-board power delivery network
  • PC software for control with Analysis | Control | Evaluate (ACE) Software or the Python Application (pyApp)

Product Details

This user guide describes the evaluation hardware and software used to test the AD9084 and AD9088 (Apollo MxFE™).

The evaluation hardware consists of the AD9084-FMCA-EBZ or AD9088-FMCC-EBZ that connects to the ADS10-V1EBZ FPGA data capture and transmit board.

The evaluation software suite includes the Apollo MxFE evaluation software (a new graphical user interface), ACE (a legacy graphical user interface), PyApp (a Python scripting library), and API example code. These tools allow users to configure the Apollo MxFE evaluation platform in predefined or custom use cases, capture analog‑to‑digital converter (ADC) data samples, and transmit digital‑to‑analog converter (DAC) data samples. Each software tool includes a set of predefined use cases for quick initial bring‑up. ADC and DAC sample data are transferred over JESD204B or JESD204C links between the Apollo MxFE and the field‑programmable gate array (FPGA) on the ADS10‑V1EBZ. Captured ADC data can be viewed in the Apollo MxFE evaluation software, ACE, PyApp, or saved as finite‑length signal vectors for analysis with external tools. DAC transmit signals can be generated within the evaluation software or loaded from a file.

The Apollo MxFE evaluation software and ACE can generate and save new custom use cases. Apollo ACE supports the AD9084 only and will soon be discontinued. The Apollo MxFE evaluation software supports both the AD9084 and the AD9088.
