The Apollo mixed signal front-end (MxFE®) is a highly integrated device with a 16-bit, 16 GSPS maximum sample rate, RF digital-to-analog converter (DAC) core, and 12-bit, 8 GSPS maximum sample rate, RF analog-to-digital converter (ADC) core. The AD9088 supports eight transmit channels and eight receive 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, 32.5 Gbps JESD204C or 20 Gbps JESD204B data transceiver port, an on-chip clock multiplier, and a digital signal processing (DSP) capability targeted at either wideband or multi-band, 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 x 26mm, 899-ball BGA and operates within the –40°C to +110°C junction temperature range. For additional information, contact ApolloSupport@analog.com.

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.

Product Details

When connected to a specified Analog Devices high speed converter evaluation board, the ADS10-V1EBZ works as a data capture/transmit board. Designed to support the highest speed JESD204B/C data converters, the FPGA on the ADS10-V1EBZ acts as the data receiver for high speed ADC's, and as the transmitter for high speed DAC's.

Product Details

This user guide describes the AD9084 evaluation platform and the necessary hardware and software configurations to evaluate the mixed-signal front-end RF transceiver (MxFE®).

The ACE Software allows the user to quickly evaluate the Apollo MxFE under different configurations, collectively known as use cases, to process and play an analog signal out of the digital-toanalog converter (DAC) or to capture a signal converted by the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The signal samples are transferred across JESD204B or JESD204C links between the Apollo MxFE and the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) located on the ADS10-V1EBZ data capture and transmit board. The captured ADC samples can be downloaded to the host PC for display and analysis in the ACE Software or stored as vectors of the samples (a signal of a finite length stored as a list of samples) for processing with other software. The ACE Software also allows the user to generate common signal vectors or load custom vectors that can be uploaded to the ADS10-V1EBZ and then transmitted to the Apollo MxFE, processed by its digital signal processing (DSP), and reconstructed out of the DAC into a spectrum analyzer or other test equipment.

From a software perspective, the ACE Software interacts with the ADS10-V1EBZ across an remote procedure call (RPC) server hosted on the MicroZed mezzanine board mounted on the ADS10- V1EBZ. To control the AD9084 and other devices on the evaluation board, both ACE and the PyApp make requests to the RPC server. The server communicates with a precompiled version of the application programming interface (API) using a set of dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that are included with the software package. The MicroZed runs Ubuntu, a Linux distribution (distro), from a bootable microSD card supplied with the AD9084-FMCA-EBZ evaluation board.
