AD7008/PCB DDS EVALUATION BOARD
The AD7008/PCB DDS Evaluation Board allows designers to
evaluate the high performance AD7008 DDS Modulator with a
minimum amount of effort.
To prove this DDS will meet the user’s waveform synthesis re-
quirements, the only things needed are the AD7008/PCB DDS
Evaluation Board, +5 V power supply, an IBM-compatible PC,
and a spectrum analyzer. The evaluation setup is shown below.
The DDS evaluation kit includes a populated, tested AD7008/
PCB board; software which controls the AD7008 through the
parallel printer port in a DOS or Windows environment and an
AD7008P.
The AD7008 direct digital synthesis chip is a numerically
controlled oscillator employing a 32-bit phase accumulator, sine
and cosine look-up tables, and a l0-bit D/A converter integrated
on a single CMOS chip. Modulation capabilities are provided
for phase modulation, frequency modulation, and both in-phase
and quadrature amplitude modulation suitable for SSB
generation.
Clock rates up to 20 MHz and 50 MHz are supported. Fre-
quency accuracy can be controlled to one part in four billion.

USING THE AD7008/PCB DDS EVALUATION BOARD
The AD7008/PCB evaluation kit is a test system designed to
simplify the evaluation of the AD7008 50 MHz Direct Digital
Synthesizer. Provisions to control the AD7008 from the printer
port of an IBM-compatible PC are included, along with the
necessary software. This data sheet provides information on
operating the evaluation board; additional details are available
from the ADI technical assistance line 1-800-ANALOGD.
Prototyping Area
An area near one edge of the board is intentionally left void of
components to allow the user to add additional circuits to the
evaluation test set. Users may want to build custom analog fil-
ters for the outputs, or add buffers and operational amplifiers
used in the final applications.
XO vs. External Clock
The reference clock of the AD7008/PCB is normally provided
by a 50 MHz CMOS oscillator. This oscillator can be removed
and an external CMOS clock connected to CLOCK. If an ex-
ternal clock is used, a 50
resistor R6 should be installed.
Power Supply
Power for the AD7008/PCB must be provided externally
through the pin connections, as described in the Inputs/Outputs.
The power leads should be twisted to reduce ground loops.
