2 Required Equipment

The following equipment and documents are included in the DAC39RF10EVM kit:

  • Evaluation board (EVM)
  • Mini-USB cable
  • Power cable
  • Type C USB cable
  • FTDI dongle to program the DAC EVM with FTDI.

The following equipments are not included in the DAC39RF10EVM kit, but are required for evaluation of this product:

  • TSW14J59EVM data capture board and related items
  • High-Speed Data Converter Pro software.
  • PC computer running Microsoft®Windows® 10
  • Low-noise signal generator for DEVCLK (Sampling clock) . TI recommends the following generators:
    • Rohde & Schwarz® SMA100B
  • Signal-path cables, SMA or BNC (or both SMA and BNC)

By default, the DAC39RF10EVM uses LMX1204 clocking chip to distribute the external clock signal to DAC39RF10 and also to LMK04828 to generate necessary clocks needed for the TSW14J59EVM. A few board modifications enables user to test the DAC39RF10 with other clocking options. The other clocking option are discussed in the Appendix section of the uses guide.
