INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this document is to get the AD9737A or AD9739A evaluation board up and running as quickly as possible and provide
guidance on how to optimize the controllers in the part to get the optimal performance out of the AD9737A/AD9739A.

SOFTWARE
The AD9737A/AD9739A-EBZ are designed to receive data from a DPG2. The DAC Software Suite, plus the AD9737A/AD9739A Update,
is required for evaluation. The DAC Software Suite is included on the Evaluation Board CD, or can be downloaded from the DPG web
site at http://www.analog.com/dpg. This will install DPGDownloader (for loading vectors into the DPG2) and the AD9737A or AD9739A
SPI application.

HARDWARE SETUP
To operate the board, a power supply capable of +5vdc, 2A should be connected to J17. A spectrum analyzer or an oscilloscope to view
the DAC output should be connected to J1. The diagram in Figure 1 shows the location of each connection. A low jitter (< 0.5psec RMS)
sine or square wave clock source should be connected to J3. The DC level of the clock is unimportant since the clock is AC-coupled on
the evaluation board before the CLKP/N inputs. The included USB cable should be used to connect the Evaluation Board to a PC. Note
that the software described above should be installed before connecting the USB cable.
