The DAC3152EVM is a circuit board that allows designers to evaluate the performance of Texas Instruments dual channel 10bit 500MSPS DAC3152 digital to analog converter (DAC) with 10byte wide DDR LVDS data input, very low power, size and latency. The evaluation module provides a flexible environment to test the DAC3152 with or without a direct RF TRF370333, a 350MHz to 4.0GHz quadrature modulator, for upconverting I/Q outputs from the DAC to RF. The evaluation module can be used along with the TSW3100 pattern generator card to perform a wide range of tests. The TSW3100 generates the test patterns which are fed to the DAC3152 through an LVDS port. The evaluation module has a clock chip, the CDCP1803, which can be used to synchronize the TSW3100 board to evaluation module.
