AFE7952EVM

The AFE7952 evaluation modules (EVMs) are used to evaluate the AFE7952 integrated RF sampling transceiver from Texas Instruments. The AFE7952 devices support up to four-transmit, four-receive, and two feedback channels (4T4R2F) and integrate phase-locked loop (PLL) and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for generating data converter clocks. The AFE7952 device integrates eight JESD204B- and JESD204C-compatible serializer and deserializer (SerDes) transceivers capable of running up to 29.5Gbps to transmit and receive digital data through the onboard FPGA mezzanine card (FMC) connector. The EVM includes the LMK04828 clock generator to provide reference clocks and SYSREF to the analog front end (AFE) and capture card (field-programmable gate array, FPGA). The evaluation module (EVM) works off a single 5.5V input and includes complete power management circuitry. External clocking options include support for feeding 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.
