This document is intended to serve as a basic user’s guide for the DAC3484/2 EVM Revision F, and
DAC34H84/SH84 EVM revision C and above.
The Texas Instruments DAC348x evaluation module (EVM) is a family of circuit boards that allows
designers to evaluate the performance of Texas Instruments' DAC348x family of digital-to-analog
converters (DAC). The 16-bit, ultra low power family of DACs has either 16-bit wide or 32-bit wide DDR
LVDS data input, integrated 2x/4x/8x/16x interpolation filters, 32-bit NCO, on-chip PLL, and exceptional
linearity at high IFs. The EVM provides a flexible environment to test the DAC348x under a variety of
clock, data input, and IF output conditions.

support
For ease of use as a complete IF transmit solution, the DAC348xEVM includes the Texas Instruments
CDCE62005 clock generator/jitter cleaner for clocking the DAC348x. Besides providing a high-quality, low
jitter DAC sampling clock to the DAC348x, the CDCE62005 also provides FPGA clocks to the
TSW1400EVM (or TSW3100EVM) as FPGA reference clocks.
The EVM can be used along with Texas Instruments TSW1400 or TSW3100 with limited data rate support
(up to 1.25GSPS LVDS Bus rate) to perform a wide varieties of test and measurements. The TSW1400
generates the test patterns that are fed to the DAC348x through a maximum 1.5 GSPS LVDS Bus port.
These EVM boards are also compatible with Altera® and Xilinx® FPGA development platforms for rapid
evaluation and prototyping. The on-board HSMC connector input allows direct connection to the HSMC
compatible Altera development platforms, and the externally attached FMC-DAC-Adapter board available
from TI enables the connection of the EVM to the Xilinx development platforms with FMC headers.
For evaluation of complete RF transmit solution, see the TSW308x EVM. The EVM integrates the
DAC348x, TRF3705, and LMK04800 devices into one RF transmitter system.

2.2.1.1
FIFO Settings
The DAC348x has 8-samples deep FIFO to relax the timing requirement of a typical transmitter system.
The FIFO has an input pointer and an output pointer, and both pointers can accept various input sources
as reset triggers of input and output pointer position. One important application for input and output pointer
control is the ability to synchronize multiple DACs in the system. For additional information, see the
relevant DAC348x data sheet.
• FIFO Offset: The default position of FIFO output pointer after reset by the synchronization source. This
setting can be used to change the latency of the DAC348x.
• Data Formatter Sync (DAC3482 and DAC3484): Synchronization source for FIFO data formatter.
Select between LVDS FRAME or LVDS SYNC signals.
• FIFO Sync Select (DAC34H84 and DAC34SH84): Select the internal digital routing of LVDS ISTR or
LVDS SYNC to the FIFO ISTR path
• FIFO Input Sync: Synchronization source for FIFO input pointer. Select among the LVDS FRAME
(ISTR), LVDS SYNC, and/or SPI register SIF-SYNC to reset the FIFO input pointer position.
• FIFO Output Sync: Synchronization source for FIFO output pointer. Select among the LVDS FRAME
(ISTR), LVDS SYNC, SPI register SIF-SYNC, and/or OSTR signal to reset the FIFO output pointer
position.
– For single device application without the need for precise latency control, Single Sync Source Mode
may be used. The FIFO output pointer position can be reset with LVDS FRAME (ISTR), LVDS
SYNC, and/or SPI register SIF-SYNC. See the Single Sync Source Mode in the relevant DAC348x
data sheet for details.
– For multiple device synchronization, select the OSTR signal as the FIFO output synchronization
source. If the DAC is configured to accept external DAC Clock input, then the OSTR signal is the
external LVPECL signal to the OSTRP/N pins. If the DAC is configured to accept the internal onchip PLL clock, then the OSTR signal is the internally generated PFD frequency. See the Dual
Sync Sources Mode in the relevant DAC348x data sheet for details.
2.2.1.2
LVDS Delay Settings
Depending on the signal source implementation (i.e. TSW1400, TSW3100, or FPGA System), the
following options can be implemented to meet the minimum setup and hold time of DAC348x data
latching:
• Set the on-chip LVDS DATA or DATACLOCK delay: The DAC348x includes on-chip LVDS DATA or
DATACLK delay. The delay ranges from 0ps to 280ps with an approximate 40ps step. This LVDS
DATACLOCK delay does not account for additional PCB trace-to-trace delay variation, only the internal
DATACLK delay.
– The TSW1400 pattern generator sends out LVDS DATA and DATACLK as center aligned signal.
Additional DATACLK delay is not needed.
– The TSW3100 pattern generator sends out LVDS DATA and DATACLK as edge-aligned signal.
Typical setting of 160ps or more will help meet the timing requirement for most of the TSW3100 +
DAC348x EVM setup.
• Modify the external LVDS DATACLK PCB trace delay: Additional trace length on the bottom side of the
PCB can be added to the LVDS DATACLK PCB trace length. Set SJP9, SJP10, SJP11, and SJP12 to
2-3 position for approximately 220ps of trace delay.

Interpolation: allows control of the data rate versus DAC sampling rate ratio
(i.e. data rate x interpolation = DAC sampling rate).
Digital Mixer: allows control of the coarse mixer function.
Note: If fine mixer (NCO) is used, the “Enable Mixer” button must be checked, and the coarse
mixer must be bypassed. See the following NCO bullet for detail.
Inverse sinx/x filter: allows compensation of the sinx/x attenuation of the DAC output.
Note: If inverse sinx/x filter is used, the input data digital full-scale must be backed off
accordingly to avoid digital saturation.
Clock Receiver Sleep: allows the DAC clock receiver to be in sleep mode. The DAC has minimum
power consumption in this mode.
Clock Divider Sync: allows the synchronization of the internal divided-down clocks using either
FRAME, SYNC, or OSTR signal. Enable the divider sync as part of the initialization procedure or
resynchronization procedure.
Group Delay: allows adjustment of group delay for each I/Q channel. This is useful for wideband
sideband suppression. Note: This feature is not available for the DAC34SH84.
Offset Adjustment: allows adjustment of dc offset to minimize the LO feed-through of the modulator
output. This section requires syncing for proper operation. The synchronization options are listed
below:
– REGWR: auto-sync from SIF register write. If this option is chosen, the GUI automatically
synchronizes the offset adjustment with each value update by writing to 0x08 (offset A) or
0x0A (offset B) registers last.
– OSTR: sync from the external LVPECL OSTR signal. Clock divider sync must be enabled with
OSTR set as sync source
– SYNC: sync from the external LVDS SYNC signal.
– SIF SYNC: sync from SIF Sync. Uncheck and check the SIF Sync button for sync event.
QMC Adjustment: allows adjustment of the gain and phase of the I/Q channel to minimize sideband
power of the modulator output.
– REGWR: auto-sync from SIF register write. If this option is chosen, the GUI automatically
synchronizes the offset adjustment with each value update by writing to 0x10 (QMC phase
AB) or 0x11 (QMC phase CD) registers last.

CDCE62005
Figure 6. CDCE62005 Tab Configured for 4x Interpolation
Clock frequency control is determined by register values in the CDCE62005 Control tab. See the
CDCE62005 data sheet for detailed explanations of the register configuration to change the clock
frequency.
The following CDCE62005 outputs are critical to proper operation of the DAC348x:
• YA*: DAC348x DAC sampling clock. This clock is an ac coupled LVPECL. If the DAC348x is
configured for internal PLL mode, this will be the reference clock input for the PLL block.
– YA* = Y1 for DAC3484 and DAC3482 EVMs
– YA* = Y2 for DAC34H84 and DAC34SH84 EVMs
• YB*: DAC348x FIFO OSTR clock. This clock is an ac coupled LVPECL. The clock rate for this should
be at least FDAC/Interpolation/8. See the DAC348x data sheet for more details.
– The whole OSTR clock equation needs to take account of both the Y1 CDCE62005 clock divider
ratio and the additional CDCP1803 divide-by-2 clock divider.
– This OSTR signal can be a slower periodic signal or a pulse depending on the application.
– Note: The FIFO OSTR clock should be disabled when the DAC348x is configured in PLL mode.
– YB* = Y2 for DAC3484 and DAC3482 EVMs
– YB* = Y1 for DAC34H84 and DAC34SH84 EVMs
• Y3: FPGA Clock 1. This clock is an ac coupled LVDS. The clock rate for this should be
– FDAC/interpolation/2 for DAC3484
– FDAC/interpolation/4 for DAC3482, DAC34H84, and DAC34SH84
• Y4: FPGA Clock 2. This clock is an ac coupled LVDS. This clock must be enabled when using the
DAC34H84 and DAC34SH84 with the TSW1400. The clock rate for this should be FDAC/interpolation/4
for DAC34H84, and DAC34SH84

Basic Test Procedure with TSW3100
This section outlines the basic test procedure for testing the EVM with TSW3100.
4.1
TSW3100 Overview
The TSW3100 is a high speed pattern generator board. The LVDS Bus rate is limited to 1.25GSPS, and
this limits the maximum input data rate per channel of DAC34SH84 to 625MSPS. To evaluate the
DAC34SH84 at 1.5GSPS DAC sampling rate, 4x or higher interpolation filter must be enabled. To
evaluate the DAC34SH84 at 1.5GSPS DAC sampling rate with 2x interpolation filter (i.e. 750MSPS of
input data rate per channel), the TSW1400 must be used.
See the TSW3100 user’s guide (SLLU101) for more detailed explanations of the TSW3100 setup and
operation. This document assumes that the TSW3100 software is installed and functioning properly. The
TSW30SH84 needs TSW3100 operating software version 2.5 or higher with TSW3100 board Rev D (or
higher).
The DAC348xEVM sends the FPGA reference clock to the FPGA of the TSW3100EVM in LVDS format.
Therefore, a 100-Ω LVDS termination resistor is needed at the TSW3100 FPGA clock input. All the latest
TSW3100EVMs from TI have the 100-Ω termination installed at the bottom side of the board on pins T31
and T32 of the FPGA. Contact TI Application Support if the 100-Ω termination is missing and assistance is
needed for the 100-Ω installation.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
