Analog Devices AD9154-FMC-EBZ Evaluation Board Signal Conversion Development Kit

The AD9154-FMC-EBZ attaches to an ADS7 data pattern generator system. The AD9154 is a quad JESD204B signal processing RF Digital to Analog Converter. The ADS7 calibrates the data and sends it to the AD9154-FMC-EBZ via its JESD204B lanes.

The AD9154-FMC-EBZ is an FMC mezzanine card. +12V, +3.3V, and VADJ power supply rails are provided by the ADS7 system via the FMC connector P1. A clock distribution chip AD9516 is included on this evaluation board as a clock fan-out and frequency divider for the DACCLK, JESD204B SYSREF signals, and a GBTCLK clock used by the ADS7. There is also an FMC standard I2C bus that is used by the ADS7 to identify the AD9154-FMC-EBZ. This I2C interface is applied in firmware in the AD9154-FMC-EBZ PIC processor (XU1). PIC firmware is installed in PIC non-volatile memory by ADI. All ADS7 to/from AD9154-FMC-EBZ interface signals are connected via the FMC connector P1.
