The AMC526 provides dual-channel ADC with sample rates up to 2.6 GSPS, making it suitable for signal capture/analysis applications such as COMINT/SIGINT, radar, research and instrumentation. The on-board Virtex-7 690T is suitable for local signal processing and data reduction prior to transfer out via the backplane using PCIe, SRIO or Ethernet.
The AMC ports 12-15 and 17-20 are optionally routed to the FPGA from the AMC connector, providing the user with flexibility to support custom high-bandwidth interconnects between compatible FPGA modules (depending on backplane capabilities). The FPGA is supported by FLASH memory for boot image storage, four banks of QDR-II+ for fast data buffering and a further bank of DDR3 for local data.
TCLK A-D are routed to the FPGA via an on-board clock and jitter cleaner while FCLK is routed directly. The module includes a very flexible clocking sub-system, supporting internal or external (backplane or front panel) clock source with internal PLL/jitter cleaner.
The AMC526 is available in both air-cooled (MTCA.0 and MTCA.1) and rugged conduction cooled(MTCA.2 or MTCA.3) versions.
