Texas Instruments AFE7952EVM Evaluation Module
Texas Instruments AFE7952EVM Evaluation Module is configured to evaluate the operation of the AFE7952, an integrated RF sampling transceiver. The AFE7952EVM features the LMK04828 clock generator to supply reference clocks and SYSREF to the analog front end (AFE) and capture card (field-programmable gate array, FPGA).
The TI AFE7952EVM Evaluation Module operates off a single 5.5V input and contains complete power management circuitry. External clocking options incorporate support for providing the reference clock for the on-chip PLL. The design interfaces with the TI pattern and capture card (TSW14J58), as well as many FPGA development kits.
