High speed DAC-FPGA board with ethernet/serial port

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DAC38J84EVM

Hello friends,

I need a simple DAC board with serial/ethernet connection.

DAC output should support 100MHz - 200MHz output frequency.

I want to use this board for arbitrary waveform generation.

If the board has RAM then it is welcome.

It should have a direct PC (windows 7/ xp) to board inteface to fuse code.

I must be able give DAC input through that interface.

If the board can accept Matlab generated output, it is an added advantage.

Along with the board there should be a demo program to drive the DAC.

This demo program (VHDL/Verilog/C/C++) must be documented extensively so that I can change it easily for my application.

Regards,

Vinod

  • Hi Vinod,

    The DAC38J84EVM should work and will support 100 - 200 MHz output frequencies. You'll also need a TSW14J56 for pattern generation. These two boards connect to form the system you describe above. The TSW14J56 has RAM and a direct connection to PC (USB).

    Although you cannot connect to the board directly from Matlab we do have automation functions that allows Matlab to connect to High Speed Data Converter Pro (TSW14J56 GUI) which can be used to control the TSW14J56 (i.e. load pattern, send pattern, generate sine waves). So for instance, in Matlab you can generate a signal, save it as a .csv file and then use the automation features to load it into HSDCPro and send to the TSW14J56.
