TSW308x Evaluation Module
The Texas Instruments TSW308x evaluation module (EVM) provides a basic platform to evaluate the
DAC348x in a complete RF transmit signal chain. Along with the DAC348x, the EVM includes a
LMK04806B clock jitter cleaner and generator source, which provides the clocks required for the DAC and
the external pattern generator. The EVM also includes on-board TRF3705 I/Q modulators, which provide
IF-to-RF upconversion for basic transmitter evaluation. This EVM is ideally suited for mating with the
Texas Instruments TSW1400 pattern generation board for evaluating WCDMA, LTE, or other high-
performance modulation schemes.
