The Texas Instruments TSW308x evaluation module (EVM) provides a basic platform to evaluate the DAC348x in a complete RF transmit signal chain. Along with the DAC348x, the EVM includes a
LMK04806B clock jitter cleaner and generator source, which provides the clocks required for the DAC and the external pattern generator. The EVM also includes on-board TRF3705 I/Q modulators, which provide IF-to-RF upconversion for basic transmitter evaluation. This EVM is ideally suited for mating with the Texas Instruments TSW1400 pattern generation board for evaluating WCDMA, LTE, or other highperformance modulation schemes.
