DAC3484EVM

The DAC3484EVM is an evaluation module for DAC3484, ultra low power 16bit 1.25GSPS DAC with 8bit wide DDR LVDS data input, integrated 2x/4x/8x/16x interpolation filters, 32bit NCO and PLL and exceptional linearity at high IFs. The evaluation module provides a flexible environment to test the DAC3484 under a variety of clock, data input and IF or RF output conditions. For ease of use as a complete RF transmit solution the evaluation module includes the CDCE62005 clock generator/jitter cleaner for clocking the DAC3484 as well as a TRF370315, a 400MHz to 4GHz quadrature modulator, for up converting I/Q outputs from the DAC to real signals at RF. The evaluation module can be used along with TSW3100 to perform a wide range of test procedures. The TSW3100 generates the test patterns which are fed to the DAC3484 through a 1.25GSPS LVDS port. The evaluation module clock chip can be used to synchronize the TSW3100 board to evaluation module.
