Basic Test Procedure with TSW1400
This section outlines the basic test procedure for testing the EVM with the TSW1400.
3.1
TSW1400 Overview
The TSW1400 is a high speed data capture and pattern generator board. When functioning as a pattern
generator, it has a maximum LVDS bus rate of 1.5 GSPS, and this allows evaluation of the DAC348x with
maximum 750 MSPS of input data rate per channel.
See the TSW1400 user
’
s guide (
) for more detailed explanation of the TSW1400 setup and
operation. This document assumes that the High Speed Data Converter Pro software (
) is
installed and functioning properly.
