DALLAS, Feb. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments
Incorporated (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced the industry's
highest-performance and lowest-cost evaluation boards for
evaluating high-speed data converters. The TSW1400EVM data capture
and pattern generation board evaluates up to 16-bit
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog
converters (DACs). It costs 75-percent less than the previous
generation, while providing twice the memory. Additionally, the
TSW1405EVM for pattern capture and the TSW1406EVM for pattern
generation are the lowest-cost solutions of their kind by up to 80
percent, providing simple and ultra-low cost platforms for quick
evaluation of TI data converters. For more information or to
purchase the evaluation boards, visit www.ti.com/tsw1400evm-pr.
Key features and benefits of the TSW1400EVM:
- Complete system to capture and evaluate data samples and to
generate and send desired test patterns to DAC evaluation modules
(EVMs) via an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI).
- Includes 1 GB of memory, twice as much as competing platforms,
enabling 512-M sample depth for higher fast Fourier transform (FFT)
resolution and capturing larger data frames for demodulation
analysis.
- Compatible with CMOS- and LVDS-interface ADC and DAC EVMs,
while supporting up to eight simultaneous-channel analyses.
- Supports up to 1.5-GSPS LVDS I/O rates for both ADCs and DACs,
enabling use with most TI ADC and DAC EVMs at maximum interface and
sample rates.
Key features and benefits of the TSW1405EVM and
TSW1406EVM:
- Provide simple pattern generation for 16-bit LVDS ADCs and DACs
with up to 64k sample depth via an easy-to-use graphical user
interface.
- Support 1-GSPS LVDS I/O rates for both ADCs and DACs, enabling
use with most TI ADC and DAC evaluation modules at maximum sample
rates.
- Industry's lowest-cost evaluation platforms with a suggested
retail price less than US$100.
Availability and pricing
The TSW1400EVM is available today for a suggested retail
price of US$649. The TSW1405EVM and
TSW1406EVM will be available in March
2012 for a suggested retail price of US$99 respectively.
