The 4410/4412 DDS Urukul card is a 4hp EEM module, part of the ARTIQ/Sinara family. It adds frequency generation capabilities to carrier cards such as 1124 Kasli and 1125 Kasli-SoC. The 4410/4412 DDS Urukul card is a 4hp EEM module part of the ARTIQ Sinara family.
It adds frequency generation capabilities to carrier cards such as 1124 Kasli and 1125 Kasli-SoC.
It provides 4 channels of DDS (direct digital synthesis) at 1GS/s. Output frequencies from \textless 1 to \textgreater 400 MHz are supported. The nominal maximum output power of each channel is 10dBm. Each channel can be attenuated from 0 to -31.5 dB by a digital attenuator. RF switches (1ns temporal resolution) on each channel provide 70 dB isolation. It provides 4 channels of DDS at 1GS/s.
Output frequency from \textless 1 to \textgreater 400 MHz are supported.
The nominal maximum output power of each channel is 10dBm.
Each channel can be attenuated from 0 to -31.5 dB by a digital attenuator.

4410 DDS Urukul comes with AD9910 chips, while 4412 DDS Urukul comes with AD9912 chips instead.
4410 DDS Urukul features AD9910 chips, while 4412 DDS Urukul features AD9912 chips. AD9912 is capable of higher frequency precision (~8 \textmu Hz) than the AD9910 (~0.25 Hz). The ARTIQ SU-Servo configuration is only available for AD9910.

4410/4412 DDS Urukul can operate with either 1 or 2 EEM connections.
4410/4412 DDS Urukul cards can operate with either a single or double EEM connections. When only EEM0 is connected, the card will act in single-EEM mode; when both EEM0 and EEM1 are connected, the card will act in double-EEM mode. 2-EEM mode when both EEM0 \& EEM1 are connected. Double-EEM mode provides these additional features in comparison to single-EEM mode: It is in 1-EEM mode when only EEM0 is connected, 2-EEM mode when both EEM0 \& EEM1 are connected.
2-EEM mode provides these additional features in comparison to 1-EEM mode.
