VHS-DAC High Performance Multi-Channel D/A Key Features & Benefits Software-Scalable programmable gain amplifier on each channel. External Clock & External Trigger Inputs (Multiple in-phase board can be used with the external clock). Programmable Sampling Clock (1-125 MHz) 34-pin External Virtex-II GPIO Header. Low- and High-Level drivers well tailored to each development approach. High-Level Simulink Blocksets include control tools for the GPIOs,Trigger,programmable gain,SDRAM, and sampling clock. Communication interface to control VHS-DAC parameters modification without interrupting the DSP application when used with SignalMaster. Help files, tutorials, demos and documentation for quick start. Overview The new VHS-DAC is an ideal card for smart (array) antennas/MIMO (Multiple Input/Multiple Output) development. With 8 or 16 channels at 125 MHz, a large FPGA for high-speed processing,SDRAM for signal storage/playback and system-level support using Xilinx’s System Generator, it provides developers with advanced hardware and ease of development. When combined with additional DSP/FPGA processing boards, such as the SignalMaster or QuadMaster cPCI platform, it becomes a complete and very high performance IF/baseband solution. Also, the VHS-DAC can be combined with the VHS-ADC to provide an end-to-end chain for high speed sixteen acquisition/transmission channels processing. On top of that, the daughter card expansion connector allows the possibility to add directly the 8 input channels daughter card of the VHS-ADC board for on board FPGA only processing application. Highlights Eight 125 MSPS Output channels Optional Add-On daughter board provides 8 additional Output channels / or 8 additional Input channels Compact PCI (32-bit cPCI, 25 MHz) 6U form factor FPDP interface with 400 MB/sec transfer rate (gives 25 MSPS per channel at 8 channels and 12.5 MSPS at 16 channels) Low level hardware drivers API and GUI High level hardware drivers integration in Simulink Blocksets for quick implementation with System Generator for DSP Leading edge communication interface allowing data recording and playback to/from the on-board SDRAM
