pSemi RF DSA Evaluation Kits

pSemi RF DSA Evaluation Kits provide a demonstration and development platform for the UltraCMOS® RF Digital Step Attenuators (DSAs). These Evaluation Kits each include an Evaluation Board for its target DSA IC, a USB Interface Board, and a standard USB A to Mini B Cable. The Evaluation Board connects to the USB port of a PC via the USB Interface Board. A Graphic User Interface can then be used to control and evaluate the functionality of the DSA IC. The Evaluation Board can also be operated manually.

The RF DSA Evaluation Boards each include a pre-mounted target UltraCMOS DSA IC, along with support components and SMA connectors. Switches and a jumper allow the user to configure the DSA interface for Direct Parallel, Latched Parallel, or Serial mode.
