The TAMC900 is a high speed, high performance analog to digital converter AdvancedMC. In addition to the eight high speed ADCs, it provides excessive preprocessing power by a Virtex-5 FPGA and high speed on board memory for e.g. full bandwidth snapshots.
The up to x8 PCIe link of the TAMC900 is used to transmit the ADC data to the CPU.
To adapt the TAMC900 to different customer requirements, the TAMC900 is equipped with a Signal Conditioning Adapter (SiCA) that holds the connector for the analog inputs, the connectors for the clock and trigger inputs and the analog signal conditioning.
The TAMC900 provides three clock inputs and three trigger inputs. The three external clock inputs and the PCIe reference clock are routed to a flexible clocking scheme that allows independent clocking of the ADCs in two groups. The trigger inputs are routed to the FPGA.
Eight LTC2254 ADCs provide up to 105 MSps and 14-bit resolution each. The minimum sample rate is 1 Msps.
4 MByte high speed on board SRAM enables snapshots of all ADCs at full speed and full resolution for 2 ms.
According to AMC.0, the TAMC900 provides an IPMI compliant Module Management Controller (MMC) with temperature monitoring and hot-swap support.
