ADX3500

3 Gsps XMC/PMC Digitizer With Xilinx Virtex 5 FPGA




Delphi Engineering Group's ADX3500 is an XMC/PMC, analog to digital converter module designed for digitizing wide bandwidth analog signals at 8 bits, at sample rates of up to 1.5 Gsps dual channel, or 3 Gsps single channel. Samples are transferred via a PCI-X interface or Virtex 5 RocketIO transceivers through an XMC connector. Eight serial
transceivers can operate at up to 3.2 Gbps. A PCI Express end-point controller is available within the FPGA supporting x1, x2, x4 or x8 PCI Express operation.

The user-programmable Xilinx Virtex 5 FPGA provides continuous sampling, buffering, and timing. Delphi also offers an FPGA design kit which allows custom development of the onboard FPGA. FPGA design can be customized for specific applications such as digital filtering, data preprocessing and DSP functions such as FFT.

For systems running Microsoft Windows, Delphi offers ADCView, a signal visualization application which displays sampled data graphically. Through ADCView's graphical user interface, users can configure sampling parameters such as: start/stop vectors, IRQ operation, and triggering options. Sample data exportable to analysis applications such as Matlab.

The ADX3500 is has been rigorously tested to operate on leading PowerPC, PC, and DSP host processor systems. Delphi has a proven track record of delivering high-performance data acquisition modules for mission-critical applications.
