µDigitizer

FPGA-based, multichannel, high-speed digitizer solutions

µDigitizer solutions are customizable, embedded solutions incorporating tremendous FPGA logic (Perseus 601x) and memory, as well as combining high-speed, multichannel A/D and D/A I/Os.

μDigitizers are capable of uplinking and downlinking streams of data to a remote computer running on Linux or Windows through high-speed GigE interfaces. μDigitizers also support embedded PC configurations interfaced trough PCIe or GigE, and they come with Linux framework for embedded applications.

I/O speeds and options are shown below. The configurations below show minimal configurations (1x Perseus 601x + 1x FMC IO card, uses 1x AMC slot). More channels can be implemented by stacking boards together. 
 

µDigitizer250 (More channels can be implemented by stacking AMC Perseus 601x card )

• Two, 250 MSPS, 14-bit A/D converters
• Two, 1 GSPS, 16-bit D/A converters
   

µDigitizer5000 (More channels can be implemented by stacking AMC Perseus 601x card )

• Four, 1.25 GSPS, 10-bit A/D converters;
• or two, 2.5 GSPS, 10-bit A/D converters;
• or one, 5 GSPS, 10-bit A/D converter

µDigitizerMI250 (More channels can be implemented by stacking AMC Perseus 601x card )

• Eight, 250 MSPS, 14-bit A/D converters
