250MS/S dual DAC is suitable for high energy physics

The dual DAC module connects with its corresponding Rear Transition Module (RTM) per MicroTCA.4, VadaTech’s MRT523. The AMC523 routes 12 channels of ADC signals that originate from the MRT523 via the RTM to the FPGA. The front panel of the AMC523 also has quad SFP+, one JTAG and CLK/Trig ports.

VadaTech has also introduced the AMC525 dual FPGA Mezzanine Card. This device features a Xilinx 690T Virtex-7 FPGA and an on-board QorIQ P2040 processor, the quad core of which allows the FPGA to act as an independent host, as well as for distributed processing.

Yousef Khalilollahi, Senior Director, Aerospace & Defense, Xilinx, commented: “It is always exciting to see innovative customers harness Xilinx high performance silicon and software solutions to bring innovative technology to market quickly. These two new boards from VadaTech harness the diversity and flexibility of the Xilinx All Programmable FPGA’s and are a generation ahead in terms of price, performance and power consumption.”
