Detailed Architecture#

Detailed Description#

The top module, axi_ad9144, instantiates:

the JESD204B interface module
the DAC core module
the AXI handling interface

The JESD204B interface module handles the serialization and deserialization of data to and from the DAC, ensuring proper data alignment and timing for high-speed communication.

The DAC core module includes:

Data path for digital-to-analog conversion PRBS (Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence) generation for testing
DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) for generating sine waves and other waveforms
Fixed pattern generators for consistent test signals

The AXI handling interface manages the communication between the DAC and the system’s AXI bus, facilitating efficient data transfer and control.

NOT-APPLICABLE if DDS_DISABLE is set (0x1).
`0x10c + 0x16*n`	`0x430 + 0x58*n`	`CHAN_CNTRLn_10`				DAC Channel Control & Status (channel - 0) Where n is from 0 to 15.
		`[31:16]`	`DDS_INIT_2_EXTENDED`	`RW`	`0x0000`	The extended DDS phase initialization for tone 2. Sets the initial phase offset of the tone. The extended init(phase) value should be calculated according to DDS_PHASE_DW value from CHAN_CNTRL_2 NOT-APPLICABLE if DDS_DISABLE is set (0x1).
		`[15:0]`	`DDS_INCR_2_EXTENDED`	`RW`	`0x0000`	Sets the frequency of tone 2’s phase accumulator. Its value can be calculated by \(INCR = (f_{out} * 2^{phaseDW}) * clkratio / f_{if}\); Where f_out is the generated output frequency, DDS_PHASE_DW value can be found in CHAN_CNTRL_2 in case DDS_PHASE_DW is not 16, f_if is the frequency of the digital interface, and clock_ratio is the ratio between the sampling clock and the interface clock. NOT-APPLICABLE if DDS_DISABLE is set (0x1).

The IP was developed part of the [Wiki] AD9144 Evaluation Boards.

The control of the AXI AD9144 chip is done through a SPI interface, using ACE software. The ACE (Analysis - Control- Evaluate) software provides a graphical user interface for configuring and controlling the AD9144, allowing for easy setup and evaluation of the DAC’s performance.
