The AFE79xx evaluation modules (EVMs) are evaluation boards used to evaluate the AFE79xx family of integrated RF Sampling transceivers from Texas Instruments. The AFE79xx devices support up to four-transmit, four-receive, and two feedback channels (4T4R2F) and integrates phase-locked loop (PLL) and voltage- controlled oscillator (VCO) for generating data converter clocks. The AFE79xx device integrates eight JESD204B-, JESD204C-compatible serializer/ 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 solution (TSW14J58), as well as many FPGA development kits.
