AMC features a dual DAC & a FPGA
VadaTech now offers a single module AMC that features a dual DAC and a high-performance FPGA. The board is suitable for RADAR signal processing and jamming applications. The AMC529 combines the functionality of the company’s FPGA carriers and digitising FMCs.
Providing outstanding dynamic performance, the board has dual DAC that are 14-bit at 2.85GSPS (5.7GSPS in mix-mode). The module includes a clock jitter cleaner and on-board clock generation.
The on-board Virtex-7 FPGA has three banks of 144Mbit QDR-II memory, which is 36-bit wide, as well as 1Gb of 16-bit DDR3 memory. As typical in VadaTech’s AMCs, the board includes an IPMI controller. Clock holdover stability is also standard on the AMC529, with XO and TCXO crystal oscillator options.
