The TSW1418EVM is an entry-level, low-cost, FMC interface data capture card used to evaluate performances of TI's family of high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The TSW1418EVM is used to demonstrate data sheet performance specifications by capturing the sampled data over a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) interface when using a high-quality, low-jitter clock, and a high-quality input frequency. Using Xilinx® based firmware, the TSW1418EVM is dynamically configurable to support LVDS speeds up to 950Mbps, and up to 18 data outputs. With the accompanying High-Speed Data Converter Pro Graphic User Interface (HSDC Pro GUI), the TSW1418EVM is a complete system that captures and evaluates data samples from ADC EVMs.
