Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE7422
Hello,
First some context:
I am building a fibre-optic communication system in wich I modulate an optical signal with an IQ modulator and then I detect part of that modulated signal with a photodiode pair to check for imbalances in the IQ modulator. For that I would like to use a board that integrates both DAC (to drive the IQ modulator) and ADC (to monitor the output of the photodiode pair) ports, this would basically replace a dedicated AWG and Oscilloscope that I've been using for the same effect. So:
1 - Is it possible to use the DAC ports of the AFE7444EVM as an AWG? If yes, what sample frequencies can I use and what is the output voltage range?
2 - Is it possible to use the ADC ports of the AFE7444EVM as a real-time Oscilloscope?
Thank you for your help in advance.
