This ARTIQ branch contains a proof-of-concept design of a GHz-datarate multichannel direct digital synthesizer (DDS) compatible with ARTIQ's RTIO channels.
In later developments this proof-of-concept can be expanded to provide a two-tone output with spline modulation and multi-DAC synchronization.
Ultimately it will be the basis for the ARTIQ Sayma project. See https://github.com/m-labs/sayma and https://github.com/m-labs/artiq-hardware
Ultimately it will be the basis for the ARTIQ Sayma Smart Arbitrary Waveform Generator project. See https://github.com/m-labs/sayma and https://github.com/m-labs/artiq-hardware.
The hardware required is a KC705 with an AD9154-FMC-EBZ plugged into the HPC connector and a low-jitter 2 GHz reference clock.
Features:
*Features*:
* 4 channels
* 500 MHz data rate per channel (KC705 limitation)
* 4x interpolation to 2 GHz DAC sample rate
* Real-time control over amplitude, frequency, phase through ARTIQ RTIO
channels
* Full configurability of the AD9154 and AD9516 through SPI with ARTIQ kernel
support
* Real-time control over amplitude, frequency, phase of each channel through ARTIQ RTIO commands
* Full configurability of the AD9154 and AD9516 through SPI with ARTIQ kernel support
* All SPI registers and register bits exposed as human readable names
* Parametrized JESD204B core (also capable of operation with eight lanes)
* The code can be reconfigured, e.g. to support 2 channels at 1 GHz datarate or to support 4 channels at 300 MHz data rate, no interpolation, and using mix mode to stress the second and third Nyquist zones (150-300 MHz and 300-450 MHz).
* The code can be reconfigured. Possible example configurations are: support 2 channels at 1 GHz datarate, support 4 channels at 300 MHz data rate, no interpolation, and using mix mode to stress the second and third Nyquist zones (150-300 MHz and 300-450 MHz).
The hardware required to use the ARTIQ phaser branch is a KC705 with an AD9154-FMC-EBZ plugged into the HPC connector and a low-noise 2 GHz reference clock.

* Implement your own experiments using the SAWG channels.
* Verify clock stability between the 2 GHz reference clock and the DAC outputs.
* Verify phase alignment between the DAC channels.
* Changes to the AD9154 configuration can also be performed at runtime in experiments.
