ADC32RFxx-EVM
The ADC32RFxx-EVM is designed to work seamlessly with TI’s TSW14J56 EVM JESD204B data
capture/pattern generator card, through the High Speed Data Converter Pro (HSDC Pro) software tool for
high-speed data converter evaluation. It is also designed to work with many of the development kits from
leading FPGA vendors that contain an FMC connector.
