AD350 Digitizer and Waveform Generator
Description
The AD350 is a low-cost, low-power digitizer and waveform generator available in the PMC form factor. The AD350 features two 14-bit A/D channel inputs sampling up to 150MSPS, and a dual-channel 16-bit 500Msps high-speed D/A converter. With two on-board Cyclone III FPGA devices, the AD350 is the ideal prototyping system to implement flexible and scalable multi-input and multi-output antenna transmitter systems (MIMO)
