Mezzanine card module for DSP applications
Mistral Solutions
ADC511 FPGA mezzanine card
Mistral Solutions has announced the availability of the ADC511, a high-resolution FPGA mezzanine card (FMC/VITA 57) module from Curtiss Wright, aimed at DSP applications.
The ADC511 is a 400MS/s 14-bit dual-channel ADC card that uses two Texas Instruments ADS5474 analogue-to-digital converters.
Each device supports a sampling rate up to 400MSPS with 14-bit resolution.
Available in both air-cooled and conduction-cooled rugged versions, the ADC511 is aimed at DSP applications such as signal intelligence (Sigint), electronic counter measures (ECM) and radar.
The ADC511 is said to speed and simplify the integration of FPGAs into embedded system design by providing high-bandwidth I/O direct to the host card's FPGAs.
It eliminates data bottlenecks to increase DSP subsystem performance by routing high-speed ADC I/O directly to the host board's FPGA via the FMC connector.
The ADC511 can be fitted to FMC hosts such as Curtiss Wright's FPE320, FPE650 and HPE720.
The combination of the ADC511 with a suitable host is said to provide developers with a high-quality analogue I/O and processing solution in a single VPX/VPX-REDI slot.
