AFE7444EVM: AFE7444EVM problem

Part Number: AFE7444EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE7900, AFE7950, AFE7444

Hello,TI support,

I want to know whether Xilinx has an FPGA board suitable for AFE7444EVM.

Thank you.

  • Hi Wanrui,

    The AFE7444EVM should work with most Xilinx dev kits that have a FMC connector with the transceiver lanes routed. A couple of dev kits that can work are the ZCU102 or ZC706 dev kits. 

    One thing that you can take into consideration is: 

    You can use TI's latest RF sampling transceiver, AFE7900/AFE7950 family devices. AFE79xx has more channels, performance, and bandwidth at lower power per channel when compared to AFE74xx. You can request access to full datasheet and other resources of AFE79xx here: https://www.ti.com/licreg/docs/swlicexportcontrol.tsp?form_id=318147&prod_no=AFE79XX-HSC-DESIGN&ref_url=ASC_DCC_DC-HSC

  • Hi,David,

    If I use ZCU102 or ZC706,  can TI provide me with some development assistance, such as user guide or engineering example, so that I can quickly use the combination of ZCU102 or ZC706 and AFE744EVM to carry out my design.

    Will TI provide some function libraries applicable to AFE44EVM for users to use? If I choose to use embedded development and start 702 under Linux environment, how should I configure registers and other settings for 7444.

    Thank you,

    David

  • Hi Wanrui,

    The TI JESD204 IP has example JESD204 loopback reference designs and user guide on how to customize it for specific application. You can find more details and request access to the IP here: https://www.ti.com/tool/TI-JESD204-IP

    We don't have function libraries for AFE7444 that can be used in embedded platform. Functions you need have to created from programmer's guide in AFE7444 secure folder. 

    We provide C based libraries that can be used in embedded platform for our latest AFE7900/AFE7950 family devices. 

    Regards,
