Description

The AFE7952 evaluation modules (EVMs) are evaluation boards used to evaluate the AFE7952 integrated RF sampling transceiver from Texas Instruments. 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 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.
