5 Power Supply Options
The AFE722x EVM is designed to operate from an external 6-V wall wart supply. An LDO generates a 5-V
rail for the TRF3703 IQ modulator as well as for the low-noise LDOs, which are generating a 3.3-V and
1.8-V rail for the AFE722x and the CDCE72010. Alternatively, the 3.3-V and 1.8-V rails can be generated
using DC/DC converters which operate directly from the 6-V input for maximum power efficiency.
The EVM provides options to disable unused circuits by means of pin headers. These headers can also
be used for accurate power measurements where external power supplies can be directly connected to
them.
Three pin headers allow a convenient change between powering the AFE722x and CDCE72010 either
from a DC/DC converter or low-noise LDO.

6 Clocking Configuration
The AFE722x EVM offers 3 different options for
providing the clock to the AFE722x as well as the
supporting circuitry. The biggest challenge arises
when using the DAC with the TSW1400 because
the TSW1400 expects an input clock at 1/8 of the
DAC input data rate. However, since the AFE722x
is designed for the serial LVDS interface, the DAC
data rate is 6x the actual AFE722x clock frequency.
Hence, the clock to the TSW1400 needs to 6/8 =
3/4x the AFE722x clock frequency.
