FMC225

12-bit 4.0 GSPS ADC and 14-bit 5.7 GSPS DAC, FMC Module

Description:

FMC225 is an FPGA Mezzanine Module per VITA 57 specification. It has an ADC 12-bit at 4.0 GSPS and a DAC 14-bit at 2.85 GSPS direct RF synthesis.

FMC225 utilizes TI ADC12J4000 ADC providing 12-bit conversion at rates of up to 4.0 GSPS and an Analog Devices AD9129 DAC providing 14-bit conversion at rates of up to 2.85 GSPS. The DAC core is based on a quad-switch architecture that enables dualedge clocking operation, effectively increasing the DAC update rate to 5.7 GSPS when configured for Mix-Mode™ or 2x interpolation. The input sampling clock can be via thefront panel or the on board wide-band PLL. The FMC225 has a trigger input which is routed to the FMC connector as well as to the ADC.

The analog input/output, clock input and trigger inputs are routed via SSMC connectors.
