Product Details
The MAX5857 evaluation kit (EV Kit) contains a single MAX5857 wideband interpolating and modulating RF digital-to-analog converter (DAC) which can directly synthesize 1.2GHz of instantaneous bandwidth from DC to frequencies greater than 2.6GHz. The MAX5857 EV kit provides a complete system for evaluating MAX5857 performance, as well as developing an FPGA plus DAC transmitter solution.
The MAX5857 accepts input data through a six-lane JESD204B serializer/deserializer (SerDes) interface up to 9.8304Gbps that is Subclass-0 compliant. The MAX5857 EV kit connects to one FMC connector on the Xilinx VC707 evaluation kit, allowing the VC707 to communicate with the MAX5857’s JESD204B serial link interface.
The evaluation kit includes Windows® 7/10-compatible software that provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for configuration of all the MAX5857 registers through the SPI interface, control of the VC707 FPGA and temperature monitoring.
