LMX248x Evaluation Board

The Texas Instruments LMX2485E-EVM/LMX2487E-EVM helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of any device in the LMX248x family. Although only two options are offered, the other members in the family are all pinout-compatible and program-compatible to one of these existing board option. They would be expected to have similar performance, just different in the maximum frequency of operation.
