-* 4x interpolation to 2 GHz DAC sample rate
+* up to 8x interpolation to 2.4 GHz DAC sample rate
 * Real-time control over amplitude, frequency, phase of each channel through ARTIQ RTIO commands
 * Full configurability of the AD9154 and AD9516 through SPI with ARTIQ kernel support
 * All SPI registers and register bits exposed as human readable names
 * Parametrized JESD204B core (also capable of operation with eight lanes)
 * The code can be reconfigured. Possible example configurations are: support 2 channels at 1 GHz datarate, support 4 channels at 300 MHz data rate, no interpolation, and using mix mode to stress the second and third Nyquist zones (150-300 MHz and 300-450 MHz).
