The DS64BR111EVK SMA evaluation kit provides a complete high bandwidth platform to evaluate the SAS/SATA signal conditioning features of the Texas Instruments DS64BR111 Repeater. The DS64BR111EVK can be used for standard compliance testing, performance evaluation, and initial system prototyping. The SMA edge launch connectors used for the DS64BR111EVK will interface to multiple system connector types via commercially available breakout cables, adaptors, and boards (not included). This flexible connectivity enables integrated system level testing between TI repeaters and 3rd party ASIC/FPGA host boards.
