1 Introduction

The TI TSW14J59 evaluation module (EVM) is a next-generation pattern generator and data capture card used to evaluate performances of the new TI JESD204C_B device family of high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC). For an ADC, by capturing the sampled data over a JESD204C_B interface when using a high-quality, low-jitter clock, and a high-quality input frequency, the TSW14J59 can be used to demonstrate data sheet performance specifications. Using the TI® JESD204C IP core, the TSW14J59 can be dynamically configurable to support lane speeds from 1Gbps to 32Gbps, from 1 to 16 lanes. Together with the accompanying High-Speed Data Converter Pro Graphic User Interface (GUI), the TSW14J59 is a complete system that captures and evaluates data samples from ADC EVMs, generates and sends desired test patterns to DAC EVMs, and perform both tasks at the same time with AFE EVMs (transceiver mode).
