ADC-MOD1 Dual 105 MSPS, 14-bit ADC - PMC Front Panel Mezzanine Module

The ADC-MOD1 is a front panel mezzanine module designed to provide analog I/O functionality to VMETRO's Virtex-II Pro and Virtex-5 FPGA-based processing PMC modules. This module provides two channels of 105 MHz, 14-bit analog to digital conversion. The ADC-MOD1 is aimed at embedded application development.

The ADC-MOD1 is designed to be used with:

Analog Inputs
The dual channel 105 MHz 14-bit ADC-MOD1 has an onboard 105 MHz oscillator as well as provision for external clock sources. The sampling clock and trigger are made available to the host FPGA for complete application control. General purpose digital I/O signals are routed through to the front panel. These are also controlled by the host FPGA. These can be used for synchronizing multiple boards or providing alternative trigger mechanisms. Ideal applications in Software Defined Radio (SDR), radar and telecommunications.

Software
The ADC-MOD1 is hosted by the PMC-FPGA03, PMC-FPGA05 or DEV-FPGA05 which are supported under Windows XP, VxWorks and Linux (Contact VMETRO for availability). The ADC-MOD1 support package is additional to the BSP that accompanies VMETRO PMC modules and includes:

• VHDL library code blocks: demonstrating how board resources can be used and how ADC operations are controlled by the host FPGA
• Hardware and firmware/software manuals
  
  

Development of VHDL code for the FPGA requires synthesis tools such as Xilinx Foundation.
