SParrow® support for AD9744

SParrow®-AD9744 Version generates Verilog RTL IPs, C++ algorithms and C++ framework code required to interface AD9744ACP-PCBZ or AD9744-FMC-EBZ with XILINX® ZC706 or AVNET® ZedBoard.
All TCL files and constraints required to implement the system using XILINX Vivado® tool are also auto-generated by SParrow®, so that the bit-stream can be generated directly from the RTL/C Code.
The main RTL components that are integrated into SParrow® for AD9744 support on FPGA board include:
- AD9744 Interface : An RTL Component that drives samples to AD9744 EVAL Board FMC Interface at DAC-CLK rate.
- DPG PLAYER IP : Repeatedly replays samples stored in a file (This file may be generated using DPG Software).
- RASTER NCO IP : A LUT based NCO that can be used for generating mathematically accurate Sinusoidal waveforms.
- LINEAR WAVEGEN IP : Generates various types of square, saw-tooth, triangular, trapezoidal and other linear waves.
- Basic DSP/MISC RTL IPs like ADDER, MULTIPLIER, MIXER/MODULATOR, FIR FILTER, MUX, GATES, TIMER, MMRs etc.
