MAX5857EVKIT#, Evaluation Kit for MAX5857 16-Bit, 5.9Gsps Wideband Interpolating and Modulating RF DAC with JESD204B Interface

Description

• MAX5857EVKIT#, 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 JESD204B serial link interface
