FMC230 – Dual 14-bit 5.7GSPS | HPC DAC Board
Dual 14-bit 5.7Gsps D/A
FMC VITA 57.1 Compliant
The FMC230 is a dual channel DAC FMC with a very wide band. The two 14-bit D/A channels operate at 5.7Gsps (2.85Gsps direct RF synthesis) and are clocked by either an internal clock source (optionally locked to an external reference) or an externally supplied sample clock. The FMC230 daughter card is mechanically and electrically compliant to the FMC standard (ANSI/VITA 57.1).
The FMC230 design is based on Analog Devices’ AD9129 single channel 14-bit 5.7Gsps Digital-to-Analog converter. The analog signals are AC coupled connecting to MMCX or SSMC coax connectors on the front panel.
The FMC230 is well suited for low power applications such as airborne where the highest level of performance is required while ensuring that mission range does not get affected.
