1-Channel DAQ Module – High-Pin-Count
The FMC160 provides one 12-bit A/D channel at 3.6Gsps and one 14-bit D/A channel at 5.6Gsps (2.8Gsps 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 FMC160 daughter card is mechanically and electrically compliant to the FMC standard (ANSI/VITA 57.1).
The FMC160 has a high-pin count connector, front panel I/O, and can be used in a conduction cooled environment. The design is based on Texas Instruments’ ADC12D1800 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 FMC160 allows flexible control on 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 airborne where the highest level of performance is required while ensuring that mission range does not get affected.
