ABSTRACT

The DAC38RF8x family of devices comes equipped with multiple test modes to assist users in verifying
systems in rapid prototyping situations. This application report covers two of the available tests, the
pseudorandom binary-sequence test and JESD204B short pattern test, in detail using the TI
DAC38RF8xEVM and

TSW14J56EVM

capture card.
