1 Introduction

1.1Overview

This document is intended to serve as a basic user’s guide for the DAC3484/2 EVM Revision D. The EVM provides a basic platform to evaluate the DAC3484 and DAC3482, which are a family of 1.25GSPS, up to 16x interpolation, 16-bit high speed digital-to-analog converters. The DAC3484 is a quad-channel DAC, and the DAC3482 is a dual-channel DAC.

The EVM includes the CDCE62005 clocking source which provides the clocks required for the DAC and the pattern generator. The on-board TRF3703-15 modulators provide on-board IF-to-RF upconversion for basic transmitter evaluation. This EVM is ideally suited for mating with the TSW3100 pattern generation card for evaluating WCDMA, LTE, or other high performance modulation schemes.
