FMC DAC 250MSPS 16b 4CH
Project description
The FMC DAC 250MSPS 16b 4CH is a single width mezzanine card (69 x 76.5mm) which has been specifically designed to be plugged on a carrier card VXS DSP FMC Carrier but other carriers can also be freely used. The mezzanine card is designed according to a VITA57.1 FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) standard which sets the specifications for the electromechanical aspects of the mezzanine card.
The FMC-DAC-4CH-16b-250MSPS card receives digital data input from a FPGA. This data is sampled with four digital-to-analog converters which provide four identical analog outputs. These outputs are amplified, filtered with a 40MHz cutoff frequency and four RF-signal outputs of max. 7.6Vpp are provided by the mezzanine card. The 7.6Vpp voltage is the saturation point of the driving amplifier. In addition, the board has a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) for D/A-converter and A/D-converter control; an Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) bus which connects devices such as a voltage/temperature monitoring chip, a 64-bit identification number chip, I2C-to-1-wire bridge, an EEPROM memory and a front panel LED controller chip.
The mezzanine card is using a High Pin Count (HPC) connector which provides up to 400 pins from which 160 are used definable. The stack height of the connector is 8.5mm.
