TPCE636 Reconfigurable FPGA with 16 ADC Input Channels and 16 DAC Output Channels

PCI Express x4 card providing a user configurable Xilinx Kintex-7 XC7K FPGA with 16 ADC input channels and 16 DAC output channels. Each of the 16 ADC input channels of the TEWS Technologies TPCE636 has a 16bit resolution and can work with up to 5 Msps. The analog input circuit is designed to allow input voltages up to ±10V on each input-pin (results in ±20V differential voltage range). Each of the 16 DAC output channels has a 16bit resolution and is designed as a single-ended bipolar ±10V analog output. For customer specific I/O extension or inter-board communication, the TPCE636 provides 64 FPGA I/Os on a back I/O connector and 4 FPGA Multi-Gigabit-Transceiver on a Samtec FireFly© connector. Digital back I/O lines can be configured as 64 single ended LVCMOS25 or as 32 differential LVDS25 interface.

The FPGA is connected to a 1GB DDR3 SDRAM and configured by a serial SPI flash. The SPI flash device is in-system programmable. An in-circuit debugging option is available via a JTAG header for read back and real-time debugging of the FPGA design.

All front I/O lines such as the ADC interface and DAC interface are connected to a 98-pin. Samtec ERF8-049 Rugged EdgeRate Connector.

A wide range of drivers is available: Linux, VxWorks and Windows. All drivers - except the Windows drivers - are supplied as C source code.
