The board showcases the following Texas Instruments devices:
• ADC1xDxxxx(RF) analog-to-digital converter
• LMX2541 clock synthesizer
• LP3878 and LP38513-ADJ linear LDO regulators
• LM20242, LM25576 and LM26400 switching regulators
• LM3880 power sequencing controller
• LM95233 temperature sensor
In addition, the board also employs the Xilinx XC4VLX25-11FFG668 Virtex-4 FPGA for the critical
function of capturing the high-speed digital data sourced by the ADC.
