1 Introduction
The TI TSW14J58 evaluation module (EVM) is a next-generation pattern generator and data capture card used
to evaluate performances of the new TI JESD204C_B device family of high-speed analog-to-digital converters
(ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC). For an ADC, by capturing the sampled data over a JESD204C_B
interface when using a high-quality, low-jitter clock, and a high-quality input frequency, the TSW14J58 can
be used to demonstrate data sheet performance specifications. Using the Xilinx
®
JESD204C IP core, the
TSW14J58 can be dynamically configurable to support lane speeds from 1 Gbps to 24.5 Gbps, from 1 to 16
lanes. Together with the accompanying
High-Speed Data Converter Pro Graphic User Interface
(GUI), it is a
complete system that captures and evaluates data samples from ADC EVMs, generates and sends desired test
patterns to DAC EVMs, and perform both tasks at the same time with AFE EVMs (transceiver mode).
