Data capture/pattern generator: data converter EVM with 8 JESD204B lanes from 0.6-6.5Gbps

The Texas Instruments TSW14J50 Evaluation Module (EVM) is a next generation of pattern generator and data capture card used to evaluate performances of the Texas Instruments (TI) JESD204B family of high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC).

Populated with a low cost Altera Arria V GX device and using Altera’s JESD204B IP solution, the TSW14J50 can be dynamically configurable to support all lanes speeds from 600Mbps to 6.5Gbps, from 1 to 8 lanes, multiple converters, and multiple octets per frame.
