Texas Instruments AFE7769D Evaluation Module

Texas Instruments AFE7769D Evaluation Module (EVM) is designed to evaluate the high-performance AFE7769D integrated RF transceivers. This AFE7769D is a multichannel 4T4R2FB transceiver integrating a low-power Digital-Pre-Distortion (DPD) engine and Crest-Factor-Reduction (CFR) for Power Amplifier (PA) linearization and Peak-to-Average Reduction (PAR). The AFE7769D EVM includes a clocking and power solution powered by a single 6V supply.

The AFE7769D EVM incorporates RF baluns to specifically support 600MHz to 6GHz. This evaluation module includes an LMK04828 clock generator, providing reference clocks and system reference to the AFE and TSW14J58 capture card Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The external clocking options support feeding of the reference clock (for on-chip PLL) or the channel frequency (at 2x LO). Designers can also use Latte to configure the AFE7769D evaluation module when such an EVM is connected to the PC. Latte can run in simulation mode when no EVM is connected.
