The AD9162-FMCC-EBZ is an evaluation board from Analog Devices designed for digital-to-analog conversions. The board features AD9162, a dual 8-bit digital-to-analog converter with a wide signal bandwidth of 41.15 MHz. It is also capable of direct digital synthesis (DDS) performance to 1.8 GHz, useful for a multiple range of applications in communication systems based on a wide range of frequencies.
The board is ideal for applications in several fields, including radar, instrumentation, base stations, and telecommunication. It offers high dynamic range, low power consumption, fast settling time, and fine resolution. The AD9162-FMCC-EBZ has an integrated on-chip low-noise voltage reference and output amplifiers to ensure accurate and stable signal performance.
Working Principle
The AD9162-FMCC-EBZ features dual 8-bit DACs and performs all the transformational processes responsible for generating digital outputs from digital input signals. The board first acts as a programmable digital signal processor (DSP), processing the digital inputs received to generate DAC outputs. The DAC outputs are then converted to analog signals with the help of the on-chip low-noise voltage reference and output amplifiers.
To understand the operation of the board better, consider the key steps that take place while it is operating. First, the board samples the input digital signal or data stream and clocks it at a sample rate suitable for the application. The board then decimates, low-pass filters, and interpolates the data stream. After that, the board quantizes and transmits the data to the DACs. Finally, the DACs adjusted to suitable levels of accuracy and precision, convert the data to the corresponding analog signals that can be used in the application.
Conclusion
The AD9162-FMCC-EBZ is an evaluation board from Analog Devices designed for digital-to-analog conversions. It is ideal for applications in several fields, including radar, instrumentation, base stations, and telecommunication. The board performs all the transformational processes required for generating digital outputs from digital input signals with the help of the on-chip low-noise voltage reference and output amplifiers. As such, it allows for great flexibility and accuracy in achieving analogue outputs for a wide range of applications.
