Project description¶
FmcAdc200k16b11cha is an 11 channel 200kSPS 16 bit ADC card in FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) standard. The input voltage range is settable to +/-10V or +/-5V. The input impedance is 1MOhm. It is based on the AD7606 ADC from Analog Devices.

Status¶
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 29-03-2010 | ADC choice made. First draft of the design idea. |
| 30-03-2010 | Price estimation and widened feature list added. Waiting for the Altium Designer ADC symbol. |
| 12-07-2010 | Restart of design work. |
| 20-09-2010 | The PCB is now ready. Waiting for VHDL to be developped. |
| 01-10-2010 | Designer left. Design has to be reviewed and sent through design office to continue. |
| 01-07-2011 | Technical student Ross Millar picks up the design. |
| 19-07-2011 | Several Issues found. Existing prototypes still usable for debugging. |
| 28-07-2011 | First sine-wave read from the ADC board plugged on a SPEC board adc-fmc-100ks.png |
| 21-10-2011 | Schematics design review will be held. |
| 25-10-2011 | Schematic review : DesignReview21102011. |
| 15-12-2011 | Schematics improved, PCB redesigned and proto built. Working. |
| 13-01-2012 | Project on hold as Technical student left. Need still to create production files, pre-production proto and finalisation of firmware and documentation. |
