VadaTech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and complete application-ready platforms, now offers a dual Digital- to-Analog Converter (DAC) compliant to the MicroTCA.4 specification for High Energy Physics.

The AMC523 is a dual DAC at 250 Mega Samples Per Second (MSPS) at 16-bit resolution. It comes in a double module, mid-size (full- size is optional) and routes x8 or dual x4 PCIe to the backplane. The module features a Kintex-7 FPGA with 2 GB of DDR3 memory, allowing for large buffer sizes to be storing during processing and queueing data to the host. The dual DAC module connects with its corresponding Rear Transition Module (RTM) per MicroTCA.4, VadaTech’s MRT523. The AMC523 routes 12 channels of ADC signals that originate from the MRT523 via the RTM to the FPGA. The front panel of the AMC523 also has quad SFP+, one JTAG, and CLK/Trig ports. VadaTech is the industry’s only supplier of the full ecosystem of MicroTCA.4 products, including AMCs/RTMs, chassis platforms, MCHs, power modules, JSMs, and more. The AMCs includes ADC and DAC modules, FPGAs, processors, switches, graphics, storage, I/O, and other specialty boards.
