Description

The FMC158 is an FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) per VITA 57.1 standard, offering a small footprint and allowing for general-purpose I/O expansion.

The FMC158 provides 32 x M-LVDS input/outputs, 5x RS-485/RS-422 (per configured port), 8x GPIO +3.3V, 8x +5V GPIO, 8x ADC at 512 KSPS and 8x DAC at 1 MSPS.

The M-LVDS signals go through a Cross Bar Switch (CBS), which allows input/output routing within each group of eight M-LVDS signals. Each CBS port can be individually software-configured for routing, termination, and direction.

Each of the single-ended Ports can be configured as input or output. The RS-485/422 configuration can be selected as full-duplex RS-422 (independent RX/TX pairs with RX termination) or half-duplex RS-485. Each RX is programmable for termination.

The module includes 8x ADC and 8x DAC both with 16-bit resolution.

The FMC158 is 13 mm high (the VITA 57 specification is 10 mm). Therefore, the front panel I/O for the Carrier must be modified to allow the FMC158 to mate properly.

The FMC158 can provide power of up to 12W to an external module.
