DAC37J84: Guidance on Lane Rate and Clock Calculations for DAC37J84IAAV and ADC12QJ1600AAV

Part Number: DAC37J84
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DAC38J84, ADC12QJ1600,

Tool/software:

Dear Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently working with the ADC12QJ1600AAV and DAC37J84IAAV devices from Texas Instruments. I have reviewed the documentation regarding the calculation of SYSREF and FPGA CORE CLOCK. While I was able to apply the calculation methods for the ADC, I would like to verify whether the same formulas or calculation approaches also apply to the DAC, particularly for determining the Lane Rate, SYSREF, and FPGA CORE CLOCK for the DAC37J84IAAV.

Could you kindly confirm if the calculation methods remain consistent between the ADC and DAC, or if there are any differences I should be aware of? I would greatly appreciate your guidance or any relevant documentation or examples pertaining to the DAC as well as ADC for the calculations.

For your reference, below are the calculation formulas I have been using for the ADC in JMODE = 0:

ADC Calculation (JMODE = 0)

Remarks

SerDes Linerate ( fLINERATE ) 

Fs × R

Fs = 1GHz; R = 8;
fLINERATE = 8000 Mbps

SYSREF

(R × Fclk) / (10 × F × K × n)

R × Fclk = fLINERATE; F = 8; K = 4 (K = 4:4:256); n = 1;
SYSREF = 25MHz

FPGA Clock

fLINERATE / 40

FPGA Clock = 200MHz

fLINERATE / 80

FPGA Clock = 100MHz

Thank you very much for your support.
