www.ti.com Software Control 2 Software Control 2.1 Installation Instructions • Open the folder named DAC348x_Installer_vxpx (xpx represents the latest version) • Run Setup.
Software Control www.ti.com • FIFO: allows the configuration of the FIFO and FIFO sync sources. • LVDS delay: provides internal delay of either the LVDS DATA or LVDS DATACLK to help meet the input setup/hold time. • Data Routing: provides flexible routing of the A, B, C, and D sample input data to the appropriate digital path.
www.ti.com Software Control 2.2.2 Digital Block Options Figure 4. Digital Block Options ● Interpolation: allows control of the data rate versus DAC sampling rate ratio (i.e. data rate × interpolation = DAC sampling rate). ● Digital Mixer: allows control of the coarse mixer function.
Software Control www.ti.com ● NCO: allows fine mixing of the I/Q signal. The procedure to adjust the NCO mixing frequency are listed below: 1. Enter the DAC sampling frequency in Fsample. 2. Enter the desired mixing frequency in both NCO freq_AB and NCO freq_CD.
