AD9910 Eval software RAM loading errors

Hi Salman Dinani,

You also posted the same question in this thread: Synchronising the AD9910. Would it be okay if you start a new discussion for this inquiry?

First of all, for the single-tone mode operation, you can refer to the Single-tone Mode Section in the AD9910 Evaluation Board User Guide (page 9). Also, ensure you do a master reset before entering the settings on the evaluation software.

What value of REFCLK input are you using? Kindly take note that when you are using the PLL (REFCLK Multiplier is enabled), your REFCLK input must be within the specifications in the datasheet. In AD9910, it is defined to be 3.2MHz to 60MHz. But please make careful choice on multiplier value, so that your total System Clock would not exceed 1000MHz.

What I can advise is, we need to check first if your board is working okay. Kindly do the following first:

1. Power Supply connection has correct settings
2. REFCLK input is 1000MHz
3. Disable REFCLK Multiplier (leave the "Enable Multiplier" checkbox clear)
4. Check "/2 Divider Disable" checkbox so that your System Clock (Fs) is 1000MHz
5. Change Output Freq on Profile 0 to 10MHz.
6. Then LOAD.

     You should be able to get a 10MHz filtered output at J4.

You can you also send us your AD9910 register map settings. That way, we can set it up in the lab to compare results.

To do this:

• set-up your board (power supply, master clock, etc)
• click the RESET (Master Reset) button.
• input your configuration.
• go to file>save setup.

You can then forward us the set-up files (.stp).

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Sitti
