GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9833 is a 25 MHz low power DDS device capable of

producing high performance sine and triangular outputs. It

also has an on-board comparator that allows a square wave to

be produced for clock generation. Consuming only 13 mW of

power at 3 V makes the AD9833 an ideal candidate for power-

sensitive applications.

The EVAL-AD9833SDZ board is used in conjunction with an

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z SDP board available from Analog Devices, Inc.

The USB-to-SPI communication to the AD9837 is completed

using this Blackfin®-based development board.

A high performance, on-board 25 MHz trimmed general

oscillator is available to use as the master clock for the AD9837

system. Various links and SMB connectors are also available on

the EVAL-AD9833SDZ board to maximize usability.

Complete specifications for the AD9833 are provided in the

AD9833 data sheet, available from Analog Devices, and should

be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when using the

evaluation board.
