FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9835 is a numerically controlled oscillator employing a
phase accumulator, a sine lookup table and a 10-bit digital-toanalog converter integrated on a single CMOS chip. Modulation
capabilities are provided for phase modulation and frequency
modulation.
The EVAL-AD9835SDZ board is used in conjunction with a
EVAL-SDP-CB1Z board available from Analog Devices, Inc. The
USB-to-SPI communication to the AD9835 is completed using
this Blackfin®-based development board.
A high performance, on-board 50 MHz trimmed general oscillator
is available to use as the master clock for the AD9835 system.
Various links and SMB connectors are also available on the
EVAL-AD9835SDZ board to maximize the usability.
Complete specifications for the AD9835 are provided in the
AD9835 data sheet, available from Analog Devices, and should
be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the
evaluation board.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
The EVAL-AD9835SDZ evaluation kit includes the software
and drivers on CD. The software is compatible with Windows®
XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
To install the software, follow these steps:
1. Install the software before connecting the SDP board to
the USB port of the PC.
2. Start the Windows operating system and insert the
EVAL-AD9835SDZ evaluation kit CD.
3. Download the EVAL-AD9835SDZ LabVIEW™ software.
The correct driver for the SDP board, SDPDriversNET,
should download automatically after LabVIEW is
downloaded, supporting both 32-bit 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 SDPDriverNet Version 1.3.6.0.
4. After installation of the software and drivers is complete,
plug the EVAL-AD9835SDZ into the SDP board and the
SDP board into the PC using the USB cable included in
the kit.
5. When the software detects the evaluation board, proceed
through any dialog boxes that appear to finalize the
installation (for example, Found New Hardware Wizard
and Install the Software Automatically).

RUNNING THE SOFTWARE
To run the evaluation board program, do the following:
1. Click Start/All Programs/Analog Devices/AD9835/
AD9835 Eval Board.
2. 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.
3. Ensure that all links are in their correct locations (see Ta ble 1).
The main window of the AD9835 evaluation software then
opens, as shown in Figure 4.
