vi919 – 1Ch. DAC & 1Ch. ADC

The vi919 is a COTS integration combining the power of an Altera Stratix® V FPGA and Texas Instruments KeyStone Multicore DSP openVPX carrier (VF360) with a single channel DAQ module – FMC170

Key points of the DAQ module:

  • Single-channel, 10-bit A/D up to 5Gsps
  • Single-channel, 10-bit D/A up to 5Gsps
  • VITA 57.1-2010 compliant
  • Conduction-cooled – Standard Option
  • AC-coupled analog signals
  • LVDS IO signaling
  • 6 SSMC or MMCX front panel connectors
  • Clock source, sampling frequency, and calibration through I2C communication
  • Flexible clock tree enables:
    • Internal clock source
    • External sampling or reference clock
  • Power-down modes to switch off unused functions for system power savings
  • Mil-I-46058c Conformal Coating Compliant (optional)
  • HPC – High Pin Count connector
