The AD9954 is a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) that uses advanced technology, coupled with an internal high speed, high performance DAC to form a complete, digitally programmable, high frequency synthesizer capable of generating a frequency-agile analog output sinusoidal waveform at up to 160 MHz. The AD9954 enables fast frequency hopping coupled with fine tuning of both frequency (0.01 Hz or better) and phase (0.022° granularity).

The AD9954 is programmed via a high speed serial I/O port. The device includes static RAM to support flexible frequency sweep capability in several modes, plus a user-defined linear sweep mode of operation. Also included is an on-chip high speed comparator for applications requiring a square wave output. An on-chip oscillator and PLL circuitry provide users with multiple approaches to generate the device’s system clock.

The AD9954 is specified to operate over the extended industrial temperature range.

Applications

  • Agile LO frequency synthesis
  • Programmable clock generators
  • FM chirp source for radar and scanning systems
  • Automotive radars
  • Test and measurement equipment

Product Details

This user guide guides users through the setup and use of the AD9954/PCBZ-SDP-K1 evaluation board. The AD9954 is a direct digital synthesizer (DDS) that uses advanced technology, coupled with an internal high-speed, high-performance digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to form a complete, digitally programmable, high-frequency synthesizer capable of generating a frequency agile, analog output, sinusoidal waveform at up to 160MHz with many user-programmable functions.

The Analog Devices, Inc., Analysis | Control | Evaluation (ACE)Software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for simple communication with the AD9954. The AD9954/PCBZ-SDP-K1 requires the use of an SDP-K1 controller board, which is not supplied with the evaluation board kit and must be purchased separately. The SDP-K1 controller board, along with the use of the ACE Software, allows users the ability to program the software.

For full details on the AD9954, see the AD9954 data sheet, which must be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the AD9954/PCBZ-SDP-K1.
