AD9371 / AD9375

Overview

The AD9371 and AD9375 are wideband RF transceiver integrated circuits from Analog Devices. The Scopy plugin supports both devices through a unified interface. When an AD9375 is connected, the plugin automatically detects it and enables the additional DPD, CLGC, and VSWR features.

Each device exposes two tools in Scopy: a basic tool for real-time configuration of the signal chain, and an advanced tool for low-level driver initialization settings.

Features

  • Real-time control: All basic tool changes are applied immediately and read back from hardware.

  • Dual-tool interface: Separate basic and advanced tools for everyday use and driver-level setup.

  • Automatic device detection: The plugin detects AD9375 hardware and enables its exclusive features.

  • FPGA DDS: Configurable test signal generation including single-tone, dual-tone, I/Q, and arbitrary waveform modes.

  • BIST: Built-in self-test with tone injection, PRBS, and digital loopback.

Supported Devices

  • AD9371 — Wideband RF transceiver (300 MHz to 6 GHz). Covered in AD9371 and AD9371 Advanced.

  • AD9375 — Superset of AD9371 with Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD), Closed-Loop Gain Control (CLGC), and VSWR detection. Covered in AD9375 and AD9375 Advanced.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • An AD9371 or AD9375 evaluation board connected to the host.

  • Scopy 2.3 or later.

Connecting

Launch Scopy and connect to the device URI (e.g., ip:192.168.2.1). The plugin loads automatically. If an AD9375 is detected, the tools appear as ADRV9375 and ADRV9375 Advanced.
