Detailed Architecture

AXI AD9144 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.

Design Guidelines

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.

Warning

We do not offer support for ACE anymore. Limited support is available.
