Introduction
The AD9144-EBZ connects to a DPG3 for quick evaluation of the AD9144, a high-speed, signal
processing Digital to Analog Converter. The DPG3 automatically formats the data and sends it to the
AD9144-EBZ, simplifying evaluation of the device. The Evaluation Board (EVB) runs from a +5V supply.
A clock distribution chip AD9516 is included on this EVB as a clock fan-out and frequency divider for
the DACCLK, REFCLK and DPG3 input clock. Figure 2 is an image of the top side of the AD9144-EBZ.
AD9144 Evaluation Software
The AD9144 Evaluation Board software has an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). It is
included on the Evaluation Board CD, or can be downloaded from the DPG website at
