1.2. Hardware Setup

Set up the development kit with the ADI AD9250 daughter card module installed to the board's FMC connector.
Figure 1. Hardware Setup for Arria V GT Development Kit
  • The AD9250 module derives power from the FMC connector on the development board.
  • The AD9250 module supplies the device clock to FPGA 2.
  • For subclass 1 mode, the FPGA generates SYSREF for the JESD204B MegaCore function as well as the AD9250 module.


Figure 2. Hardware Setup for Arria V SoC Development Kit
  • The AD9250 module derives power from the FMC connector on the development board.
  • The AD9250 module supplies clock to the FPGA and ADC.
  • For subclass 1 mode, the FPGA generates SYSREF for the JESD204B IP core as well as the AD9250 module.


Figure 3. System Diagram

The system-level diagram shows how the different modules connect in this design.

In this setup where LMF = 222, the data rate of the both transceiver lanes is 4.915 Gbps. The AD9517 clock generator provides 122.88 MHz clock to the FPGA and 245.76 MHz sampling clock to both AD9250 devices.
