Description

The DAQ523 is a digitizer sub-system in MTCA.4 form factor, comprising an FPGA AMC, an ADC rear transition module, and full software/firmware complete with DMA engine and EPICS support. The equipment can be operated from a simple user-level API, via a development API, or via EPICS. The user interface is consistent with other VadaTech data acquisition products.

The high sample rate, 16-bit digitization and MTCA.4 form factor makes this sub-system ideal for research and industrial applications. The dual channel DAC, driven from the onboard Kintex FPGA can be used to implement low-latency feedback for Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) test applications.

An RS-232 Port is also available from the FPGA if the customer desires to implement a soft-processor in the FPGA and utilize a serial console, and quad SFP+ Ports are available on the front panel (these require user firmware development).

The MRT523 is capable of accepting user-designed mezzanine modules for sensor input direct to the chassis. This allows users to match the analog front end to specific project requirements. Contact VadaTech sales for details.
