AD9410 Prototype Evaluation

This document describes the evaluation of a 200MHz analogue-to-digital converter acquisition evaluation board. The evaluation board contains an AD9410 10-bit ADC [1], which was purchased from Analog Devices for $200. The evaluation board is interfaced via an Altera APEX FPGA to a custom capture card [2]. The APEX FPGA currently contains minimal logic for synchronizing the two data streams from the AD9410. (In future work the APEX FPGA will contain the Digital IF processor.) Figure 1 illustrates the AD9410 evaluation board and interface card (with the APEX FPGA.) The custom capture card is not shown.
