TRF-LSC-AFE7950EVM

The TRF-LSC-AFE7950EVM evaluation module is used to evaluate the performance of TI's AFE79xx family of integrated RF sampling transceivers with TI's TRF1208 single-ended-to-differential amplifier on RX, and TRF1108 differential-to-single-ended amplifier on TX. The AFE79xx devices support up to four transmit, four receive, and two feedback channels (4T4R2F) and integrates a phase-locked loop (PLL) and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for generating data-converter clocks. The AFE79xx integrates eight JESD204B- and JESD204C-compatible serializer or deserializer (SerDes) transceivers. These transceivers are 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) uses 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 solution shown below, as well as many FPGA development kits.
