FMC110

FMC-HPC Analog-to-Digital Converter Board
Dual Channel 12-bit A/D @ 1 GSPS
Dual Channel 16-bit D/A @ 1 GSPS
FMC VITA 57.1 Compliant

Description

The FMC110 is a dual channel A/D and dual channel D/A FMC. The FMC110 provides two channels of 12-bit A/D @ 1 GSPS and two channels of 16-bit D/A @ 1 GSPS enabling simultaneous sampling at a maximum rate of 1 GSPS. The sample clock can be supplied externally through a coax connection or supplied by an internal clock source (optionally locked to an external reference). Additionally a trigger input for customized sampling control is available. The FMC110 daughter card is mechanically and electrically compliant to FMC standard (ANSI/VITA 57.1). The card has a high-pin count (HPC) connector, front panel I/O, and can be used in a conduction cooled environment as well as a conventionally (air) cooled environment. The FMC110 allows flexible control on clock source, sampling frequency, and calibration through an I2C communication bus. The FMC110 card is equipped with power supply and temperature monitoring with several power-down modes to switch off unused functions, reducing system level power and heat, well suited for software defined radio (SDR), battery or other low power source applications. This is ideal for applications such as airborne where power demand effects mission range and on-station mission time.

The FMC110's A/D channels are based on the TI ADS5400 which can operate in 1-bus or 2-bus mode. In 1-bus mode all data is transferred to output port A at a maximum rate of 1000Gbps per DDR LVDS pair. In 2-bus more the data is de-multiplexed over output port A and B at a maximum rate of 500Gpbs per DDR LVDS pair. Each of the D/A channels has an independent DDR LVDS data bus. The full rate of 1Gsps is supported, but the digital transfer rate can be lowered by enabling the interpolation (x2 or x4) in the D/A devices. Each of the two D/A channels have an independent DDR LVDS data bus. The full rate of 1Gsps is supported, optionally the digital transfer rate can be lowered by enabling the interpolation (x2 or x4) in the D/A devices
