DK86064

Evaluation Platform

PC Control Software

The DK86064-2 development kit provides a simple and

effective means of evaluating the MB86064 dual 14-bit

1GSa/s Digit al to Analog Converter (DAC) .

A user manual provides a step-by-step guide from configuring

the board and connecting test equipment, through to

evaluating performance of the MB86064. Schematics, PCB

overlays and connector pin-outs are included. The evaluation

platform requires two DC power supplies, 1.8V & 3.3V, each

capable of providing 1 amp. The PC USB programming cable

included combined with the control software available for free

download supports configuration and control of the device, as

well as downloading test vectors to the waveform memory

module.

Features

• MB86064 Evaluation Board

• PC USB Programming Cable

• PC control software available for free download

• User Manual

• SMA data adaptors (optional)

• Xilinx® Virtex® 5 FPGA Platform Adaptor (optional)

Applications

• Provides easy access to on-chip waveform memories to

perform initial perf orm ance te sts, avoiding need for high

performance data generating equipment.

Essential Equipment

Apart from the power supplies, the minimum

equipment vital to conducting an evaluation of

the MB86064 is a high quality RF clock and

spectrum analyser. The phase & spurious

performance of the clock should be such as to

not limit the DAC performance (e.g. HP8664A).

However, performance of even the best

spectrum analysers available is inferior to that of

the converter. To overcome this, filtering

techniques and careful attention to analyser

settings, e.g. RF Attenuation, is essential during

the course of the evaluation.

Figure 1. DK86064-2 Evaluation Board

Driving the DAC

As with any DAC evaluation an appropriate test

vector stimulus is required. Unf ortunately at data

rates above 300MSa/s this requires digital

pattern generation capabilities beyond most

standard test equipment. The DK86064-2

Development Kit has been designed to help

overcome this difficulty in a number of ways.

Initially, unmodulated or pseudo-modulated

single and multi-tone/carrier tests can be

conducted using waveforms downloaded to the

on-chip memories.

Test waveforms are easily loaded into the

memories using the PC software and USB

programming cable supplied. Even if hig h speed

digital patt ern generating equipment is available,

initial testing using the waveform memories

serves as a usef ul set up check.

Figure 2. Optional SMA Adaptor

Pattern generators can be connected to the

evaluation board using either the onboard 2-row

0.1" data headers, or via ribbon cables to the

optional SMA adaptors. When using the 0.1"

data headers it is assumed that a custom wiring

harness will be required. This would be made

according to the connector type and pinout of

the generator’s output. The optional SMA

adaptors provide a convenient conversion from

SMA to the evaluation board’s 0.1" headers.

This alleviates the simultaneous removal of 28

SMAs (14-bit differential LVDS) when required

to be disconnected. One advantage of this is the

ability to easily swap the data generator

between DAC data ports if insufficient channels

are available to drive both ports simultaneously.

Rather than using general purpose test

equipment, customers may wish to use the

evaluation board to construct a platform more

representative of their end application. This

might, for example, involve an FPGA to

implement a variety of pre-processing and/or

waveform generation functions. At the simplest

level, a setup similar to that described for the

digital pattern generator could be used, where a

custom wiring harness interfaces a standard or

existing FPGA platform to the DAC evaluation

board. An optional adaptor is available f or direct

connection to a Xilinx® Virtex® 5 platform.

Control of the DAC fr om the PC software can be

maintained to minimise effort to get up and

running.

Clock Inputs & Analog Outputs

The evaluation board is designed to

accommodate up to six SMA connectors - two

for the differential clock input and four for the

two differential analog outputs. Boards are

supplied with transformers on-board to perform

single ended-to-differential and differential-to-

single ended conversions. As such, only three

SMAs are required. This facilitates easier

connection to standard test equipment.

PC Control & Software

The development kit includes a PC USB

programming cable which interfaces between a

host PC USB port and the DAC’s 4-wire serial

interf ace.
