The DAC3162EVM is a circuit board that allows designers to evaluate the performance of Texas Instruments dual channel 12bit 500MSPS DAC3162 digital to analog converter (DAC) with 12byte wide DDR LVDS data input, very low power, size and latency. The evaluation module provides a flexible environment to test the DAC3162 with or without a direct RF TRF370333, a 350MHz to 4GHz quadrature modulator, for upconverting I/Q outputs from the DAC to RF. The The evaluation module can be used along with the TSW3100 pattern generator card to perform a wide range of tests. The TSW3100 generates the test patterns which are fed to the DAC3162 through an LVDS port. The evaluation module has a clock chip, the CDCP1803, which can be used to synchronize the TSW3100 board to evaluation module.
● Comprehensive test capability for the DAC3162 for IF and RF outputs
● Direct connection to TSW3100 pattern generator
● Includes CDCP1803 for clock generation
● Includes TRF370333 for complete transmitter evaluation
● Easy setup software control not required
● Adapter connector compatible to Xilinx FPGA EVMs with FMC connector
●It is important to operate this EVM within the input voltage range of 5V to 7V and the output voltage range of 2.8V to 3.8V. Exceeding the specified input range may cause damage to the EVM.
