It also has an on-board comparator that allows a square wave to be produced for clock generation. Consuming only 13 mW of power at 3 V makes the AD9833 an ideal candidate for powersensitive applications. The EVAL-AD9833SDZ board is used in conjunction with an EVAL-SDP-CB1Z SDP board available from Analog Devices, Inc. The USB-to-SPI communication to the AD9837 is completed using this Blackfin®-based development board. APPLICATIONS Biomedical sensors Bioelectrical impedance analysis Electrochemical analysis Impedance spectroscopy Complex impedance measurement Nondestructive testing A high performance, on-board 25 MHz trimmed general oscillator is available to use as the master clock for the AD9837 system. Various links and SMB connectors are also available on the EVAL-AD9833SDZ board to maximize usability. Complete specifications for the AD9833 are provided in the AD9833 data sheet, available from Analog Devices, and should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the evaluation board.

The software is compatible with Windows® XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. To install the software, follow these steps: 2. 3. 4. Install the software before connecting the SDP board to the USB port of the PC. Start the Windows operating system and insert the EVAL-AD9833SDZ evaluation kit CD. Download the AD9833SDZ LabVIEW® software. The correct driver, SDPDriversNET, for the SDP board should download automatically after LabVIEW is downloaded, supporting 5. 09812-002 1. both 32- and 64-bit systems. However, if the drivers do not download automatically, the driver executable file can also be found in the Program Files/Analog Devices folder. Follow the on-screen prompts to install the SDPDriverNet Version 1.3.6.0. After installation of the software and drivers is complete, plug the EVAL-AD9833SDZ into the SDP board and the SDP board into the PC using the USB cable included in the box. When the software detects the evaluation board, proceed through any dialog boxes that appear to finalize the installation (Found New Hardware Wizard/Install the Software Automatically and so on).

Default Setup for Link Positions To run the evaluation board program, do the following: Link No. LK1 Position Out LK2 A LK4 A 2. 3. Click Start/All Programs/Analog Devices/AD9833/ AD9833 Eval Board. If the SDP board is not connected to the USB port when the software is launched, a connectivity error displays (see Figure 3). Simply connect the evaluation board to the USB port of the PC, wait a few seconds, click Rescan, and follow the instructions. Ensure that all links are in their correct locations (see Table 1). The main window of the AD9833DBZ evaluation software then opens, as shown in Figure 4. 09812-003 1. Function Decouple the CAP/2.5V pin to ground because VDD is >2.7 V.

AD9833 DDS Evaluation Software SETTING UP THE DIGITAL INTERFACE The first software step in setting up the AD9833 to make some measurements is to set the DIGITAL INTERFACE value. The EVAL-SDP-CB1Z has two connectors plugs: connectorA and connectorB. Select the connector you want to use with the AD9837 evaluation board from the drop-down box. 09812-005 The SPI Frame Frequency (/SYNC) box and SCLK Frequency box can also be set in this window. If the SPI interface speed has not been decided, leave the default values shown in Figure 5. Figure 5. Digital Interface Rev. A | Page 5 of 12 UG-272 Evaluation Board User Guide FSK AND PSK FUNCTIONALITY Having selected the digital interface specifics, next use the EXTERNAL MCLK box to choose which frequency to use. The boards are supplied with a 25 MHz general oscillator. If a different clock source is required, the CLK1 SMB connector can be used to supply a different MCLK value. In software mode, the AD9833 can be set up for FSK or PSK functionality by simply entering the bit rate in milliseconds and selecting the push-button option (see Figure 8). Two options for the general oscillator include the AEL3013 oscillators from AEL Crystals and the SG-310SCN oscillators from Epson Electronics. 09812-008 SELECT EXTERNAL MCLK FREQUENCY Figure 8. FSK and PSK Functionality WAVEFORM OPTIONS 09812-006 The output waveform can be selected as a sinusoidal waveform or a ramp waveform. The internal comparator in the AD9833 can be disabled or enabled (see Figure 9). The MSB or the MSB/2 of the phase accumulator can be selected as the output on the SIGN BIT OUT pin. Figure 6. EXTERNAL MCLK Input The desired output frequency and output phase can be loaded using the inputs shown in Figure 7. Either the FREQ 0 register or the FREQ 1 register can be loaded with frequency data. The frequency data is loaded in megahertz, and the equivalent hex code is shown to the right once data is entered; click Enter to load data. Once data is loaded, the output appears on the IOUT1 and IOUT2 pins. Similarly, either the PHASE 0 register or PHASE 1 register can be selected, and the phase data is loaded in degrees. The analog output frequency from the AD9833 is defined by 09812-009 LOADING FREQUENCY AND PHASE REGISTERS Figure 9. Waveform Profile and SIGN BIT OUT Pin Power-Down Options The AD9833 has various power-down options selected through the control register. The part can disable the MCLK or disable the DAC if just the MSB output is used on the SIGN BIT OUT pin, or it can power down both sections for a lower power sleep mode (see Figure 10). fMCLK/228 × FREQREG where FREQREG is the value loaded into the selected frequency register in decimals. This signal is phase shifted by 2π/4096 × PHASEREG 09812-010 where PHASEREG is the value contained in the selected phase register in decimals. 09812-007 Figure 10. Power-Down Options Figure 7.

To set up a DDS sweep, click Sweep. An example of configuring the AD9833 to output 10 kHz follows: 09812-011 1. 2. Figure 11. Software Reset and Sweep Select The sweep function allows users to load a start frequency, stop frequency, increment size, number of loops, and delay between each frequency increment. These commands are then loaded to the part automatically from the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Plug the EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board into the EVALAD9833SDZ board and connect to the USB port. Start up the software located at Start/All Programs/ Analog Devices/AD9833/AD9833 Eval Board. You should see the SDP board communicating with the PC. Select connectorA or connectorB; this must match what the AD9837 test chip is connected to. Define MCLK; the default is an on-board 25 MHz oscillator. Ensure that all links are in the correct locations (see Table 1). Select the FREQ 1 register. Load a 10 kHz excitation frequency and click Enter. The output should appear on the IOUT and IOUTB outputs on the evaluation board. For the FREQ 0 register, • • Select the FREQ 0 register. Load the FREQ 0 register with 20 kHz and click Enter. 09812-012 For the FREQ 1 register, • Select the FREQ 1 register to load the 10 kHz associated with this register. Figure 12.
