Analog I/O Boards
| Function | Description | Software Support | ADDR/ DATA Width | Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
24-Bit Sigma-Delta ADC | Motherboard includes 32 24-Bit, 108kHz/chan Sigma-Delta ADCs, daughter board provides 2-pole anti-alias filtering consistent with the anti-aliasing requirements of the Sigma-Delta ADCs, programmable gain of up to 31.5 dB in 0.5 dB steps, and internal test signal generation and injection capabilities for performance monitoring and fault location (PM/FL). Model No. ICS-110BL | Solaris | ||
16-Bit Delta-Sigma DAC | 32-channel DAC board offers true 16-bit precision and update rates of up to 100 kHz/channel. Delta-Sigma DACs offer a high degree of precision and digital interpolation, which moves the aliased image away from the signal band. This signigicantly relaxes post-filtering requirements. Board provides differential outputs with high current drivers to directly drive large capacitive loads, and a 2-pole reconstruction filter for each DAC output is provided for each channel. Model No. ICS-115A | Solaris | ||
300Khz Signal Conditioning | Provides programmable gain and anti-alias filtering for analog signals. Designed as a partner product to the ICS-130 Analog Input board, but can be used independently. Provides programmable gain from -12 dB to 42 dB in steps of 6 dB, independently programmable for each channel. All inputs and outputs are differential. Includes a 3-pole user-specified anti-alias filter for each channel, either Bessel or Butterworth characteristic. Model No. ICS-121 | Solaris | ||
16-Bit Sigma-Delta ADC | Supports simultaneous sampling of all channels at either 32 or 16 times the output rate. Maximum output rate is 1.2 MHz for each channel. Maximum input signal bandwidth (-3 dB point) can be as high as 573 kHz. Sigma-Delta ADC technology, which combines on-chip digital filtering and a high oversampling-ratio, reduces the external anti-alias requirements to first order in most cases. Includes a powerful VME64 DMA interface and a 160 MBytes/s FPDP interface for rapid transfer of ADC data. Model No. ICS-130 | Solaris | ||
1MHz Signal Conditioning | Designed to be a partner product to the ICS-145, a 32-channel analog input board, but can also be used as an independent product. Intended for use with Sigma-Delta data conversion products and has a 4-pole anti-alias filter, either Bessel or Butterworth, to band limit input signals. Also provides programmable gain from -12 dB to +36 dB in steps of 6 dB. Model No. ICS-141 | Solaris | ||
10MHz Chan 16-Bit Oversampling ADC | Based on ANalog Devices AD9260 ADC chip, combines Sigma-Delta and flash converter technologies, offers oversampling ratio of 1,2,4, & 8, depending on input bandwidth. Highest input sample rate is 20 MHz, with a corresponding output word rate of either 20 MHz, 10 MHz, 5 MHz or 2.5 MHz for each channel following digital lowpass filtering and decimation of either 1,2,4, or 8. 8, 16 and 32-channel versions. Model No. ICS-145 | Solaris | ||
40MHz Chan 12-Bit Analog Input/Output | Offers multiple options for moving data to and from the board at high speeds, optimized to solve high speed data acquisition problems that demand high precision and ease of system integration. Ideal for applications in Radar, Communications and EW, Ultrasound, Imaging and Test and Measurement. Model No. ICS-150B | Solaris | ||
16-bit ADC | Rugged or commercial grade ADC designed for acoustic applications but AD9260 devices are also suitable for higher speed applications; 16-bit converter technology delivers high dynamic range while built-in signal conditioning provides programmable gain and filtering; includes FPDP I/II interface for fast data transfer while avoiding common VME bus delays Model No. ICS-8145 | Solaris |
Integrated Systems
| System Type | Description | Size |
|---|---|---|
Acquisition Solution | Base system can hold up to 20 VME 64x boards. SYSTEM-1000ES is an extension product that includes embedded storage - 12 VME 64x slots and 144 GBytes of RAID storage which supports sustained data transfer rates of over 90 MBytes/s. Each system is packaged in a standard 19" rack-mountable fan-cooled enclosure, which houses up to twenty (20) VMEbus boards (12 for SYSTEM-1000ES) along with an integrated dual-voltage 1000 W power supply. An embedded processor running VxWorks handles the control of each system. Model No. SYSTEM-1000 |
