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.
