FMC110 Abaco Systems FPGA Analog Input / Output Mezzanine Card

The Abaco Systems / 4DSP FMC110 FPGA Analog Input / Output Mezzanine Card is a dual channel A/D and dual channel D/A FMC daughter card. The FMC110 provides two channels of 12-bit A/D @ 1 Gsps and two channels of 16-bit D/A @ 1 Gsps enabling simultaneous sampling at a maximum rate of 1 Gsps. The sample clock can be supplied externally through a coaxial connection or supplied by an internal clock source (optionally locked to an external reference). Additionally a trigger input for customized sampling control is a manufactured option.

The FMC110 daughter card is mechanically and electrically compliant to FMC standard (ANSI/ VITA 57.1). The high-pin count (HPC)-compatible card has front panel I/O and can be used in a conduction-cooled environment as well as a conventionally (air) cooled environment. The FMC110 allows flexible control on clock source, sampling frequency, and calibration through an serial communication bus.

The FMC110 card is equipped with power supply and temperature monitoring with several power-down modes to switch off unused functions, reducing system level power and heat, well suited for Software Defined Radio (SDR), battery or other low power source applications. This is ideal for applications such as airborne where power demand effects mission range and on-station mission time.
