Basic Test Procedure with TSW1400

3 Basic Test Procedure with TSW1400

This section outlines the basic test procedure for testing the EVM with the TSW1400.

3.1 TSW1400 Overview

The TSW1400 is a high speed data capture and pattern generator board. When functioning as a pattern

generator, it has a maximum LVDS bus rate of 1.5 GSPS, and this allows evaluation of the DAC348x with

maximum 750 MSPS of input data rate per channel.

See the TSW1400 user’s guide (SLWU079) for more detailed explanation of the TSW1400 setup and

operation. This document assumes that the High Speed Data Converter Pro software (SLWC107) is

installed and functioning properly.
