HSP50215EVAL

Evaluation Kit
The HSP50215EVAL Kit provides the necessary tools to evaluate the HSP50215 Digital Upconverter integrated circuit and consists of a circuit board and a software program. The kit is designed for evaluation of Digital  Quadrature Amplitude, FM, and Shaped FM modulation for IF Communications Applications. The circuit board uses baseband I and Q data patterns loaded through the 8-bit parallel interface or the ISAbus interface. Data is output as either a digital or analog modulated composite IF signal. Up to four channels can be included in the composite IF output. To facilitate the use of the board during evaluation, the kit includes example files for configuration, shaping filters and input stimulus.

Circuit Board
The Functional Block Diagram illustrates the major functions of the circuit board HSP50215EVAL. The circuit board is a ISAbus form factor with 40 pin I/O header/connectors for cascade and output signals. Baseband test patterns are loaded through the ISAbus or 8-bit parallel interface. The external Cascade Input allows expansion of the number of channels in the composite signal. The board outputs data through both the RF connector and the 40 pin header. Test connectors are provided at key signal and control locations in the circuit.
