Platforms

The BenADC-3G performs high-speed analog-to-digital conversion, supporting up to four input channels at 3 GSPS with 8-bit resolution. It utilizes a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA for digital signal processing. Interfaces include a PCIe Gen2 x8 bus for host communication, SMA connectors for analog inputs, and a clock input/output. Applications include software-defined radio, radar processing, and high-speed data acquisition systems.

Applications

Multi-channel ultra-wideband data acquisition and digital signal processing for high-speed analog input signals up to 3 GSPS with 8-bit resolution, optimized for embedded real-time applications such as radar, LIDAR, spectral analysis, and SIGINT. Integrates two National Semiconductor 8-bit 3 GSPS ADCs with a Xilinx Virtex-4 FPGA, supporting synchronous dual-channel sampling, on-board DDR-II SRAM buffering, and low-noise clock synthesis for high effective number of bits (up to 7.2 ENOB) and high dynamic range. Interfaces via external trigger, clock inputs, and FPGA IP cores for customizable high-throughput signal processing in defense and security systems.

Accessories

accessories Nallatech BenADC-3G requires a compatible carrier or mainframe chassis with a VITA form factor (commonly VIRTEX-4 FPGA platforms). The module includes two National Semiconductor 8-bit 3 GSPS ADCs and interfaces for external clock input and digital trigger signals. It features two banks of DDR-II SRAM directly coupled to the FPGA for data buffering. Clocking is supported by an onboard National LMX2531LQ1500E PLL+VCO providing low-noise stable clock signals. Connectors include analog inputs per ADC channel (likely SMA or similar RF connectors), external clock input, and digital trigger inputs for synchronous multi-channel sampling. The FPGA I/O interface(s) will depend on the carrier board and backplane used.

Interfaces

4x high-speed multi-gigabit transceivers, 48 LVDS pairs, 10 MGT lanes (6.5 Gbps), PCIe x8 Gen2 interface (5 Gbps), front panel I/O via SSMC coaxial connectors, Samtec QSH high-speed connector for backplane I/O, Xilinx FPGA expansion header with 18 differential pairs, FPGA configuration through JTAG or flash memory, VITA-57 FMC HPC interface with 10 MGT lanes (6.5 Gbps), 160 LVDS pairs, 2 clocks.

Specifications

3 GSPS 8-bit ADC FPGA module for high-speed data acquisition. Operates on PCIe platforms, interfaces via high-bandwidth LVDS input, adaptable interfacing with DSPs or processors. Synchronizes multiple channels with external clock references. Common in wireless communications, radar systems, and advanced scientific research applications requiring real-time signal processing.
