Product Usage Instructions

To use the product, follow these instructions:

1. Choose the appropriate kit based on the desired frequency and application.
2. Ensure the necessary resources are available for the selected kit, such as RF-ADC, RF-DAC, RF Data Converter, etc.
3. Refer to the user manual for specific details on system logic cells, package, speed, and temperature grade.
4. Identify the maximum rates supported for ADCs and DACs.
5. Determine the interpolation/decimation requirements and whether Soft-Decision FEC (SD-FEC) is needed.
6. Check if the kit supports SD Boot, QSPI Boot, JTAG Boot, RJ-45, SFP/SFP+/zSFP+/SFP28, USB 3.0, USB-UART/JTAG, QSPI, I2C, Bullseye Connector ADC/DAC, GTY Bullseye Connector, GTR PMBus, or JTAG PC4 Header.
7. Verify if FMC+ Expansion Connectors, RFMC, PMOD, PS DDR4 Memory, PS DDR3, PL DDR, SD CARD, M.2 SATA Connector, Breakout Balun Card, Add-on Cards, Loop Back Card, Clock Module Card Software Tools, RF Evaluation Tool, Design Files, Power Advantage Tool, and Reference Designs are supported.
8. Refer to the user manual for any specific instructions related to power capabilities and design files.
