The Texas Instruments TSW14J50 Evaluation Module (EVM) is a next generation of pattern generator and data capture card used to evaluate performances of the Texas Instruments (TI) JESD204B family of high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC).
Populated with a low cost Altera Arria V GX device and using Altera’s JESD204B IP solution, the TSW14J50 can be dynamically configurable to support all lanes speeds from 600Mbps to 6.5Gbps, from 1 to 8 lanes, multiple converters, and multiple octets per frame.
Together with the accompanying High Speed Data Converter Pro Graphic User Interface (HSDC Pro GUI), it is a complete system that captures and evaluates data samples from ADC EVM’s and generates and sends desired test patterns to DAC EVM’s.
For 12.5Gbps JESD204B and 8Gb DDR3 SDRAM, please see TSW14J56EVM.
