Summary
The FMC-DA4 is an FMC I/O Module, providing two Analog to Digital converters with 14-bit resolution and sampling rates up to 3Gsps, and two Digital to Analog converters with 16-bit resolution and sampling rates up to 2.5Gsps.
The FMC-DA4 is a VITA 57.1 compliant single width HPC FMC module, designed for use with Alpha Data's VITA 57.1 compliant carrier cards. It provides the user with dual high speed Analog to Digital Converters at 14bits/3GHz and dual high speed Digital to Analog converters at 16bits/2.5GHz along with an external clock input and clock output and a number of bidirectionl trigger/synchronisation signals.
Power Consumption ( 3GHz sampling, both ADC channels, 2GHz sampling both DAC channels) 25W, conduction cooled
On-board temperature monitoring
Requires FPGA speed grades of -2 or better to support 12.5 Gbps operation of serial links.
