Introduction -

The evaluation boards are for users to evaluate the performance of the high-speed direct digital frequency synthesizer, Euvis DS85x. The inputs include 32-bit single-ended digital signals VIN0 ~ VIN31 for frequency control, reset signal RST for accumulator reset, strobe signal STRP to strobe the frequency control input, and a pair of differential clock signals. All the input signals except the clock signals are controlled by a PC through the USB interface. The clock input pair allows the clock source to be presented in either single-ended or differential form with SMA connectors. The outputs of the evaluation board consist of a pair of differential analog outputs OUTP/OUTN and the accumulator’s carryout signal COUT.

The evaluation board features a USB-compliant interface through which a companion application program provides users convenient ways to control the DDS.
