ADAC250
High-speed, dual 250 MSPS A/D and 1 GSPS D/A FMC
The ADAC250 FPGA mezzanine card (FMC) is designed around the high-performance A/D and D/A conversion technology from Texas Instruments — it integrates one dual, 14-bit, 250 MSPS analog-to-digital converter (ADS62P49) and a dual, 16-bit, 1 GSPS digital-to-analog converter (DAC5682Z; also capable of a 2–4× interpolation mode). Combined with multiple clocks and synchronization modes, the ADAC250 is at its best in DSP applications such as software-defined radio (SDR), advanced telecommunications (MIMO systems, cognitive radios, beamformers, LTE, WiMAX), signal intelligence (SIGINT), radar, sonar, and medical imaging applications.
Highlights
- Two, 250 MSPS, 14-bit ADCs
- Two, 1 GSPS, 16-bit DACs
- Supports multiple clock and reference configurations
- Versatile and industry-standard VITA 57.1 FMC module
- Plug & Play with Lyrtech’s µTCA Perseus AMCs
- Integrated programmable gains on both converters
- Wideband, AC-coupled I/Os
- DAC capable of 2–4× interpolation modes (low pass/high pass), coarse mixing, offset adjustments, and delay adjustments
- Equipped with an onboard, low-jitter reference clock and synchronization PLL (AD9511)
- Supports external or FMC-driven reference clocks for synchronized multiboard/multichannel applications
- Supports external or FMC-driven sampling clocks (AD9511 with the PLL bypassed) for phase-coherent multiboard/ multichannel applications
- Supports external triggers for event-based acquisition
