Overview

The DAC3161EVM is a circuit board that allows designers to evaluate the performance of Texas Instruments' single-channel 12-bit 500 MSPS DAC3161 digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The EVM provides a flexible environment to test the DAC3161 under a variety of clock, and input conditions. For ease of use as a complete IF transmit solution, the DAC3161EVM includes the CDCE62005 clock generator/jitter cleaner for clocking the DAC3161.


The EVM can be used along with TSW1400 to perform a wide range of test procedures. The TSW1400 generates the test patterns which are fed to the DAC3161 through a 1.00 GSPS LVDS port. The DAC3161EVM clock chip can be used to synchronize the TSW1400 board to DAC3161EVM. The TSW1406EVM provides a low-cost solution for quick EVM testing with up to 64k sample pattern depth.

Features
  • Comprehensive test capability for the DAC3161 for IF outputs
  • Direct connection to TSW1400 signal generator
  • Includes CDCE62005 for clock generation or jitter cleaning
  • Software support with a full featured GUI for easy testing
  • Direct HSMC connection to Altera FPGA development kits
  • FMC-DAC-Adapter card to connect to a standard FMC interconnect header, a typical input on the latest Xilinx FPGA EVMs
