Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX5855EVKIT Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices MAX5855EVKIT Evaluation Kit contains a single MAX5855 wideband interpolating and modulating RF digital-to-analog converter. The converter can directly synthesize 1GHz of instantaneous bandwidth from DC to frequencies greater than 2.3GHz. The kit is a complete system for evaluating MAX5855 performance as well as developing an FPGA plus DAC transmitter solution. The Analog Devices kit also accepts input data through a five-lane JESD204B serializer/deserializer (SerDes) interface at 9.8304Gbps that is Subclass-0 compliant. The kit connects to one FMC connector on the Xilinx VC707 evaluation kit, allowing the VC707 to communicate with MAX5855’s JESD204B serial link interface.
