Introduction
AFE5801 includes an 8-channel voltage-Controlled-Amplifier (VCA) with digital control and an 8-channel
65MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The outputs of the ADC are 8-channel LVDS outputs which
should be deserialized by the ADSDeSer-50EVM or TSW1250EVM. The AFE5801EVM provides an easy
way to examine the performances and functionalities of AFE5801.

Indicators
The AFE5801EVM has 4 LEDs on the board as shown in
. Their states demonstrate the normal
operation of AFE5801EVM.
•
LED 1: U1 status indicator. Its ON state indicates the clock management chip U1 works well if U1 is
installed.
•
LED 3 and 2 (RED): 1.8VD and 1.8VA power supply indicators. ON state indicates that the AFE5801
is powered correctly.
•
LED 4 (GREEN): +3.3V power supply indicator. ON state indicates that the AFE5801 is powered
correctly.
