Introduction
The ISL5217EVAL1 is an evaluation kit for the ISL5217
Quad Programmable Upconverter. The kit consists of an
evaluation Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) complete with the
ISL5217 device and additional circuitry to provide for control
via a computer parallel port. Windows based demonstration
software is provided for full user programmability and control
of all ISL5217 operational modes. The evaluation board
provides digital outputs which are accessible through
standard logic analyzer headers. It also provides both single
ended and differential analog outputs via SMA connectors
and Low Voltage Differential Signals (LVDS) outputs.
Documentation includes a user’s manual, full evaluation
board schematics and PCB layout materials. Special filter
files, pattern files and example configuration script files are
included for quickly configuring the board.
