External Modulation Input Connector
Important Note
: this connector is not used by TrueArb application.
Reference Clock Input Connector
The T3AWG-3K can use an external clock source to generate the sampling clock frequency.
This feature allows to synchronize the generator with an external clock.
The connector type is a SMA.
Reference Clock Output Connector
This connector outputs the internal 10Mhz reference clock used to synthesize the DAC sampling clock. If
the clock source is internal it produces a signal at 10 MHz, if the source is external it is disabled.
The connector type is a SMA.
Digital Output connector
The T3AWG-3K series has optional 8/16/32-bit digital outputs, synchronized with the corresponding analog
channels.
The digital output pins are native LVDS standard and the maximum update rate is 1.2 Gbps for the T3AWG335X
(1.0 Gbps for the T3AWG325X).
The
output connector is a customized version of the Mini-SAS HD standard connector. An optional
adapter cable to convert from Mini-SAS HD
to SMA is available.
The mixed signal generation is a great solution for digital designs and validation, system synchronization and
DAC/ADC tests.
