Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX5871EVKIT Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices MAX5871EVKIT Evaluation Kit provides a complete system for evaluating the performance of the MAX5871 radio frequency digital-to-analog converter. The kit contains a single MAX5871 high-performance interpolating and modulating 16-bit 5.9Gsps converter. The kit connects to one fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) connector on the Xilinx® VC707 evaluation kit, allowing the VC707 to communicate with the MAX5871’s JESD204B serial link interface. The kit includes Windows® 7/8 and Windows XP®-compatible software that provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring all of the MAX5871 registers through the SPI interface, control of the VC707 FPGA, and temperature monitoring.
