GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This document serves as a guide to the setup and use of the
AD9959 evaluation board. The AD9959 is a multichannel
frequency synthesizer that incorporates four synchronous direct
digital synthesis (DDS) cores with many user-programmable
functions.
The evaluation board software provides a graphical user
interface for easy communication with the device along with
many user-friendly features such as the “mouse-over effect. ”
Many elements of the software can be clarified by placing your
mouse over the element. Figure 19 shows how this feature
works when users place their mouse over the Ref Clock box.
This document is intended for use in conjunction with the
AD9959 data sheet, which is available from Analog Devices at

... J17 J18 J19 J20 Note that the AD9959/PCB is preconfigured so that the CLK_VDD, BG_VDD, and all other AVDD connections are tied together. Therefore, only one connection (J10, J16, J17, J18, J19, or J20) needs power for proper functionality of all four channels. These AVDD connections can be separated for better channel isolation. This is accomplished by removing the 0 Ω ...

... Multiplier selects the PLL multiplication factor (4× to 20×) by which to scale the input frequency. The default setting of this box is Disabled, indicating that the Ref Clock Multiplier circuitry is bypassed and the Ref Clock/Crystal input is piped directly to the DDS core.

... AD9959/PCB CP Current selects the charge pump current output of the PLL in the Ref Clock Multiplier circuitry. Selecting a higher current output will result in the loop locking faster, but there is a trade-off. Increasing this current output will also increase phase noise. The default setting of this box is 75 μA. ...

... Latency Control section, the pipeline delay for updates to frequency, amplitude, and phase will be equal, but only for the channels operating in single tone mode. The default setting of this box is unchecked, meaning the pipeline delay for updates to frequency, amplitude, and phase will not be equal. Rev Page AD9959/PCB Figure 22. ...
