1.1 Introduction

The ADC3xRF72EVM allows for evaluation of the ADC3xRF72 high speed ADC. The EVM is configured to receive external single-ended analog inputs as the EVM utilizes on board baluns for single-ended to differential conversion. The ADC sampling clock is sourced externally and is single-ended, the EVM also utilizes an on board balun for single-ended to differntial conversion for the ADC's sample clock. For data capture, the ADC3xRF72EVM is paired with the TSW14J58EVM. The TSW14J58EVM is an FPGA based data capture card which features a AMD Kintex Ultra Scale FPGA. The ADC data, captured by the FPGA, is then transferred to the PC and displayed in the High Speed Data Converter Pro capture software. This user's guide describes the characteristics, operation, and use of the ADC3xRF72 evaluation module (EVM).
