DAC and Amplifier Development Tool Simplify Complex Signal Generation

(Product News, 23 Sep 2008)

Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) has launched a development kit that simplifies the complexity of interfacing between high-speed digital-to-analog converters (DAC) and amplifiers—enabling designers to rapidly evaluate signal chain performance for test and measurement, industrial and communications applications, including arbitrary waveform and signal generators.

The TSW3070 development kit includes the DAC5682Z dual-channel, 1GSPS DAC with current sink output; the OPA695 current feedback amplifier with 1.4GHz bandwidth; the THS3091/5 high voltage swing amplifier with 30V supply voltage; the CDCM7005 jitter cleaner with 800MHz VCXO and10MHz reference; and the TPS7675x, TPS5430, and UCC284-5 on-board voltage supply solution from a single 6V wall supply. Designers can drive the DAC output to either the OPA695 or the THS3091/5, enabling customers to evaluate a high-frequency signal to support wide bandwidth or a large signal swing.
