2.2 Required Equipment

The following equipment is included in the EVM evaluation kit:

• DAC12DL3200 Evaluation Module (EVM)
• Mini-USB cable
• Power cable

The following equipment is

not

included in the EVM evaluation kit, but is required for evaluation of this product:

• TSW14DL3200EVM pattern generator board, power cable, and USB3.0 cable
• HSDC Pro software
• Computer (PC) running the Microsoft

®

Windows

®

operating system (XP, 7, 8, or 10)

• Two synchronized low-noise signal generators for clock inputs. TI recommends the following:

– Rohde & Schwarz

®

SMA100A or SMA100B

• Spectrum Analyzer

– Rohde & Schwarz

®

FSQ with 20 GHz of bandwidth or equivalent

• Signal-path cables, SMA-to-SMA
• 12-V DC power source, capable of providing 3 A (TSW14DL3200EVM)
• 5-V DC power source capable of providing 4 A (DAC12DL3200EVM)

By default, the DAC12DL3200EVM uses an external clocking solution. A few small board modifications enable
the onboard clocking solution. If onboard clocking is used, no signal generators are required.
