TSW3100 Pattern Generator ModuleStatus: ACTIVE

Product Information

Description

The TSW3100EVM is a pattern generation circuit board that assists designers in prototyping and evaluating the performance of high speed digital to analog converters.

The TSW3100EVM features a high speed DDR LVDS data output bus capable of providing 16-bits of data at 1 GSPS per bit, as well as a dual 16-bit CMOS interface capable of 250 MSPS per bit. When combined with Texas Instruments' catalogue of high speed DAC evaluation modules, the TSW3100EVM allows for easy data pattern generation and offers a flexible evaluation environment for TI's family of high speed DACs including all DAC568x, DAC567x, DAC56x2, DAC290x and DAC90x families.

The TSW3100EVM features a powerful Altera Stratix II FPGA and 256 Megabits of DDR2 SDRAM which can provide up to 256 Mega vectors of pattern depth in LVDS output mode and 64 Mega vectors of pattern depth in CMOS output mode.

The TSW3100EVM connects directly to a PC via a 100 Mbps 10/100 Ethernet connection and can be controlled with a standard TFTP interface browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox), providing easy control for use in rapid prototyping.
