FMC235

Quad channel ADC 16-bit @ 250 MSPS, single channel DAC 14-bit 500 @ MSPS

An ADC/DAC FMC module is an FPGA Mezzanine Card that adds high-speed analog input and/or analog output channels to an FPGA carrier board.

ADC means analog-to-digital converter. It converts real-world analog signals into digital samples the FPGA can process.
DAC means digital-to-analog converter. It converts digital data from the FPGA into an analog waveform.

The module usually includes:

One or more ADC or DAC channels
Analog front-end circuitry
Clock and synchronization inputs
Trigger connections
FMC or FMC+ connector
Sometimes JESD204B or JESD204C high-speed serial interfaces
Front-panel RF connectors such as SMA

Typical applications include:

Software-defined radio
Radar
Oscilloscopes and waveform generators
Communications testing
Scientific data acquisition
Feedback and control systems

Description:

FMC235 is an FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) per VITA 57.1 specification. The board has Quad ADC and single DAC with DC coupled Input and Output.

FMC235 utilizes dual ADS42JB69 ADCs which provides quad ADC 16‑bit conversion at rates of up to 250 MSPS, and a single DAC3171 providing 14-bit conversion at rates of up to 500MSPS.

The analog input, digital output, clock and trigger interfaces of the FMC235 are routed via SSMC connectors. The internal clock frequency is programmable and the clock is capable of locking to an external reference.
