Mercury Systems / Pentek Cobalt 71660 4-Channel 200 MHz, 16-bit A/D XMC Module with Virtex-6 FPGA Overview
Features:
- Complete Radar and Software Radio Interface Solution
- Supports Xilinx Virtex-6 LXT and SXT FPGAs
- Four 200 MHz 16-Bit A/Ds
- Up to 2 GB of DDR3 SDRAM or 32 MB of QDRII+ SRAM
It includes four A/Ds and four banks of memory. In addition to supporting PCI Express Gen. 2 as a native interface, the 71660 includes general purpose and gigabit serial connectors for application-specific I/O.
The front end accepts four full-scale analog HF or IF inputs on front panel SSMC connectors at +8 dBm into 50 ohms with transformer coupling into four Texas Instruments ADS5485 200 MHz, 16-bit A/D converters.
The digital outputs are delivered into the Virtex-6 FPGA for signal processing, data capture or for routing to other module resources.
An internal timing bus provides all timing and synchronization required by the A/D converters. It includes a clock, two sync and two gate or trigger signals. An on-board clock generator receives an external sample clock from the front panel SSMC connector. This clock can be used directly by the A/D or divided by a builtin clock synthesizer circuit. In an alternate mode, the sample clock can be sourced from an on-board programmable voltage-controlled crystal oscillator. In this mode, the front panel SSMC connector can be used to provide a 10 MHz reference clock for synchronizing the internal oscillator.
A front panel 26-pin LVPECL Clock/Sync connector allows multiple modules to be synchronized. In the slave mode, it accepts LVPECL inputs that drive the clock, sync and gate signals. In the master mode, the LVPECL bus can drive the timing signals for synchronizing multiple modules. Multiple 71660’s can be driven from the LVPECL bus master, supporting synchronous sampling and sync functions across all connected modules.
The Pentek Cobalt 71660 4-Channel 200 MHz, 16-bit A/D XMC Module with Virtex-6 FPGA may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
4-Channel 200 MHz, 16-bit A/D XMC Module with Virtex-6 FPGA Price & Specs
Mercury Systems / Pentek Cobalt 71660 4-Channel 200 MHz, 16-bit A/D XMC Module with Virtex-6 FPGA Description
Pentek Cobalt 71660 XMC module delivers high-performance data acquisition and digital signal processing capabilities. This advanced XMC form factor device, originating from Pentek, now part of Mercury Systems, is engineered for demanding applications in defense, aerospace, and general instrumentation. It integrates a powerful FPGA alongside high-speed analog-to-digital converters, forming a versatile platform for real-time signal analysis and generation tasks in embedded systems. The module features 4-channel analog-to-digital conversion, critical for diverse multi-channel data acquisition needs. Each input channel operates at a sampling rate of 200 MHz, providing robust bandwidth for capturing dynamic signals. With a 16-bit resolution, the Cobalt 71660 ensures high fidelity and precision in digitized data streams. An onboard Virtex-6 FPGA facilitates extensive custom algorithm implementation and flexible signal processing pipelines directly on the module.
Functions
Performs high-speed analog-to-digital conversion on four independent channels at 200 MHz sampling rate with 16-bit resolution. Integrates Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA for real-time digital signal processing, data formatting, and protocol handling. Provides XMC form factor interface for mezzanine card integration with carrier boards. Supports conduction cooling for rugged environments. Enables software-defined radio applications, radar signal processing, electronic warfare systems, and high-bandwidth data acquisition in embedded computing platforms requiring simultaneous multi-channel digitization and programmable signal processing capabilities.

What Customers Are Saying
- Kamal A.
We found Artisan when our PXI Chassis broke, which shut down our production line. We were up and running in less than a day because they shipped overnight and talked our tech guys through the installation over the phone. ATG saved the day big time!
- Admin MPBY Google
Excellent customer service!
- Dongmin K.
Fast shipping on replacement parts we thought we’d never find!
- Shelby G.
The customer service representative was great. She couldn’t answer my question but connected me to an engineer who made sure I was ordering the right part. Shipping was fast too.
- Kevin K. Google
Great company staff is extremely knowledgeable!!
- Neo Google
Contacted Artisan for hard to find that has been out of circulation for nearly a decade. Their rapid response and availability exceeded all other suppliers. They supplied the part overnight to an out of state facility which allowed us to repair our equipment successfully. Well packed electronics. Well stated and professional documentation. I work with a hundred different suppliers any day of the week in my profession. Artisan remains at the very top of the bookmark tab. Thanks so much.
- Ersel T. Google
Artisan Technology Group have an excellent customer support team. I got answer to all of my questions and everything was flawless. Thank you once again.
