vi823 – 16Ch. ADC

The vi823 is a COTS integration combining the power of an Altera Stratix® V FPGA and Texas Instruments KeyStone Multicore DSP openVPX carrier (VF360) with a 16 channel ADC module – FMC116

Key points of the ADC module:

  • 16 channel 14-bit 125 Msps A/D conversion
  • Conduction cooled compatible
  • ANSI/VITA 57.1-2010 compliant
  • Based on LTC2175-14
  • 1.5V to 3.3V VADJ operation
  • Single ended DC coupled inputs
  • Programmable DC offset correction
  • Flexible clock tree enables
    • External or Internal clock
    • External clock output
    • External or internal reference
  • HPC (High-Pin Count) 400 pins connector
  • A breakout cable on the front panel makes all clock and trigger signals available on individual coax cables.
  • Optional SSMC/MMCX clock and trigger IO on the back of the FMC (consult factory)
  • MIL-I-46058c compliant (optional)
