how to interface the EVAL-ADF9010EBZ1 and  AD9861-50EBZ

Hello,

I do not have the user guide for the AD9861. But looking at the part, the Rx baseband outputs need to be connected to the ADC inputs, and the Tx inputs connected to the DAC outputs. The diagram below is a suggested application, it is not from a reference diagram. Since these are low frequency, it should be straightforward to connect these with simple wires.

It may be necessary to add anti-aliasing filters to the between the Rx outputs and the ADC inputs, and also to filter the unwanted harmonic products from the DAC outputs.

The AD9861 is not recommended for new designs.  We cannot provide application support on the older AD9861 eval board . The AD9961/3 are the  parts we recommend  with lower power and higher sample rate.

hello icollins, thank you for your reply.

i just refer to the instruction for the ad9861-eval board http://www.analog.com/en/content/cu_ad9861_ad9863_instructions_evaluation_tools/fca.html. and schematic for rev C http://www.analog.com/en/content/cu_ad9861_ad9863_evaluation_tools/fca.html .The instruction, schematic, jumper setting and software are included in the CD that come together with the eval-board. But i face with some difficulty to understand and setup the board. The jumper setting that ADI give is not tally with the eval-board (rev C) that i received. it make me confuse. please help

The diagram that you give approximate with diagram application information on adf9010 datasheet page 23. I do the connection between adf9010-eval and ad9861-eval as below.

I can answer queries related to the ADF9010 board, but I am not at all familiar with the AD9861 board.

Apologies

Ian

We can offer to replace the AD9861 eval board that is no longer reccomended for new designs with the AD9961 eval board. We will not be able to support the AD9861 eval board questions.
