\section{General Description}
The 4410 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 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.
RF switches (1ns temporal resolution) on each channel provides 70 dB isolation.
Urukul comes with either AD9910 or AD9912 chips.

\section{Example ARTIQ code}
The sections below demonstrate simple usage scenarios of the 4410 Urukul card with the ARTIQ control system.
They do not exhaustively demonstrate all the features of the ARTIQ system.
The full documentation for the ARTIQ software and gateware is available at \url{https://m-labs.hk}.
% Timing accuracy in the examples below is well under 1 nanosecond thanks to the ARTIQ RTIO system.
\subsection{10 MHz Sinusoidal Wave}
Generate a 10MHz sinusoid from RF0 with full scale amplitude and 0.25 turns phase, attenuated by 6 dB.
Both the CPLD and the DDS channels should be initialized.
\begin{minted}{python}
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
self.cpld.init()
self.dds0.init()
self.dds0.cfg_sw(True)
self.dds0.set_att(6.)
self.dds0.set(10*MHz, amplitude=1.0, phase=0.25)
\end{minted}
If the synchronization feature of AD9910 was enabled, RF signal across different channels of the same Urukul can be synchronized.
For example, synchronized RF signal can be produced on both channel 0 and channel 1 after configuring an appropriate phase mode.
\begin{minted}{python}
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
self.cpld.init()
self.dds0.init()
self.dds0.cfg_sw(True)
self.dds0.set_phase_mode(PHASE_MODE_TRACKING)
self.dds0.set_att(6.)
self.dds1.init()
self.dds1.cfg_sw(True)
self.dds1.set_phase_mode(PHASE_MODE_TRACKING)
self.dds1.set_att(6.)
self.dds0.set(10*MHz)
self.dds1.set(10*MHz)
\end{minted}
\newpage
\subsection{DDS RAM Modulation}
Only available to AD9910 variants. Set field \texttt{dds} as an Urukul channel, \texttt{cpld} as the corresponding Urukul CPLD.
\begin{minted}{python}
from artiq.coredevice.ad9910 import RAM_MODE_CONT_RAMPUP
@kernel
def run(self):
self.core.reset()
self.core.break_realtime()
self.cpld.init()
self.dds.init()
self.core.break_realtime()
self.profile0_set()
self.dds.set_att(6.)
self.dds.sw.on()
self.cpld.set_profile(0)
@kernel
def profile0_set(self):
self.dds.set_cfr1(ram_enable = 0)
self.cpld.set_profile(0)
amp_ram = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.7, 0.0, 0.7, 0.7] # Reversed Order
asf_ram = [0] * len(amp_ram)
self.dds.set_profile_ram(start=0, end=len(amp_ram)-1,
step=250, profile=0, mode=RAM_MODE_CONT_RAMPUP)
self.cpld.io_update.pulse_mu(8)
self.dds.amplitude_to_ram(amp_ram, asf_ram)
self.dds.write_ram(asf_ram)
self.dds.set_cfr1(ram_enable=1, ram_destination=RAM_DEST_ASF)
self.dds.set_frequency(10*MHz)
self.cpld.io_update.pulse_mu(8)
\end{minted}
\section{Ordering Information}
To order, please visit \url{https://m-labs.hk} and select the 4410 Urukul in the ARTIQ Sinara crate configuration tool. The card may also be ordered separately by writing to \url{mailto:sales@m-labs.hk}.
