The FMC172 is an analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) FMC daughter card that provides one 10-bit A/D channel at 6.4 GSPS and one 10-bit D/A channel at 6 GSPS.
The sample clock can be supplied externally or by an internal clock source (optionally locked to an external reference). The clock tree enables cascading of multiple boards for phase-locked sampling. A trigger input is also available for customized sampling control and to enable synchronization across multiple cards.
The FMC172 is mechanically and electrically compliant to the FMC standard (ANSI/VITA 57.1). It can be used in a conduction-cooled environment with Abaco carrier cards.
The FMC172 utilizes LVDS connectivity to the host carrier, to enable latency from the RF to RF connector under 20ns. Coupled with >6GHz of instantaneous bandwidth in both transmit and receive, the FMC172 is ideal for ultra low latency applications. The analog signal input and output are AC-coupled and connected to SSMC coax connectors on the front panel.
The FMC172 allows flexible control of clock source, sampling frequency, and calibration through I2C communication. The ADC has individual calibration circuits for fine-tuning of gain, offset, and phase.
The card is equipped with power supply and temperature monitoring and offers several power-down modes to switch off unused functions or protect the card from overheating.
The FMC172 is ideal for applications where low latency high bandwidth sampling are the driving requirements such as DRFMs.
