Texas Instruments TSW40RF80EVM Evaluation Module (EVM)

Texas Instruments TSW40RF80EVM Evaluation Module (EVM) is a two-transmit, two-receive (2T2R) RF-sampling transceiver reference design. The module contains the DAC38RF80 dual-channel RF-sampling digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and the ADC32RF45 dual-channel RF-sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The DAC38RF80 sampling rate operates up to 9GSPS and includes an onboard PLL/VCO for high-frequency clock generation. The output is single-ended for easy interface to the 50Ω circuitry. The ADC32RF45 sampling rate operates up to 3GSPS. It has an option to use a dual digital down converter in each channel or to bypass it to access the full Nyquist bandwidth. The Texas Instruments TSW40RF80EVM includes the LMK04828 clock generator to provide a reference signal to the DAC PLL and generate the required SYSREF signals for the JESD204B protocol. Also included is the LMK2582 RF synthesizer for providing an ultra-low-phase noise clock solution for the ADC.
