DAC3482: some problems with DAC3482 using the internal 4 fold interpolation

Part Number: DAC3482

Hello: I'm having some problems with DAC3482 using the internal 4 fold interpolation,

fDATA=500MHZ  2 fold interpolation, Using the following register configuration test, no problem

0x02-8000
0x00-0198
0x01-000e
0x03-7001
0x10-3000
0x18-2C67
0x19-20F4
0x1A-FC00
0x1b-0800
0x20-2201
0x24-0400
0x2d-0004
0x30-0000

 fDATA=312.5MHZ 4 fold interpolation, Using the following register configuration, the measured output waveform is incorrect

0x02-8000
0x00-0298
0x01-000e
0x03-7001
0x10-3000
0x18-2c5f
0x19-2894
0x1a-ac00
0x1b-0800
0x20-2201
0x24-0400
0x2d-0004
0x30-0000

  • Xingwei,

    We are looking into this.

  • Hi Xingwei,

    Are you using the DAC3482EVM? If so, please have a look at the attached power points that will have your DAC exhibiting the proper output (at the desired FDAC rates using the PLL).

    You will need to load these register files. They include the register settings that you posted.

    The only thing I needed to modify (for both configurations) was the FPGACLK1 divider in the CDCE. The preset value is 16, and it needs to be changed to 4. Example of this is in the attached power points.

  • HI,Dan
    thanks for your support!
    I tried, but the output waveform is still incorrect, please help to solve ,thanks
  • Hi Xingwei,

    Can you explain a little further as to what is wrong with the waveform? Are you not seeing the desired tone at the output, or is the output looking like noise? If possible, please post pictures of the output.

    Also, can you please verify that you are using the DAC3482EVM along with the TSW1400EVM capture card? Thanks!

    Regards,

    Dan
