FMCADDA-108

Single-channel 12-bit 4Gsps A/D

Dual-channel 12-bit 2Gsps A/D

Single-channel 14-bit 5.7Gsps D/A

Description

The FMCADDA-108 provides one 12-bit A/D channel at 4Gsps (or dual-channel at 2Gsps) and one 14-bit D/A channel at 5.7Gsps (2.85Gsps direct RF synthesis) clocked by either an internal clock source (optionally locked to an external reference) or an externally supplied sample clock. In addition, a trigger input for customized sampling control is available to users. The FMCADDA-108 daughter card is mechanically and electrically compliant to the FMC standard (ANSI/VITA 57.1).

The FMCADDA-108 has a high-pin count (HPC) connector, front panel I/O, and can be used in a conduction-cooled environment. The design is based on Texas Instruments' ADC12D2000RF Analog-to-Digital converter and Analog Devices' AD9129 Digital-to-Analog converter. The analog signals are AC-coupled, connecting to MMCX or SSMC coax connectors on the front panel.

The FMCADDA-108 allows flexible control of clock source through serial communication busses. Furthermore, the card is equipped with power supply and temperature monitoring and offers several power-down modes to switch off unused functions in order to reduce system level power consumption. It is well-suited for low-power applications such as those in aerospace where the highest level of performance is required while ensuring that mission range is not affected.
