Hi Larry,
I was fortunate enough to get an AD9102 Eval board today and I reproduced the test condition on the eval board.
Here's what I did to the board:
- Changed the JP1 solder jumper to get it's input from the J11 connector instead of the PIC trigger output
- Ran 10MHz a sine-wave from a function generator into the J10 CLK_IN connector which produces a 1.25MHz clock to the CLK_P/N input on the AD9102
- Ran a 10KHz 0-3V squarewave into the J11 connector from a function generator
I've attached an SRAM contents file (RAM_short.txt) and a register contents file (short_test.regval) so you can replicate this on the AD9102 eval board. In this testcase, address 0x5C is set to 0x0001 so that the first SRAM sample gets duplicated.
If I load the attached files using the AD9102_SPI.exe file, I get the following waveform: (yellow is the DAC output and blue is the input trigger waveform at 10KHz.
If I zoom way out, the pattern only repeats every 65536 clock cycles (around 52ms at a 1.25MHz CLK_P/N rate):
Please give the attached files a shot and see if you can replicate the issue.
Thanks!
Tim
