New A/D and D/A Converter FMC from VadaTech Offers High Sampling Rates

VadaTech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and complete application-ready platforms, has announced a new FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) that is both an A/D and D/A converter.

Henderson, NV - Jan 13, 2015 - VadaTech, a manufacturer of embedded boards and complete application-ready platforms, has announced a new FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) that is both an A/D and D/A converter. The module is compliant to the VITA 57 specification and offers very high performance targeted towards RADAR, LTE/Broadband communications systems, ATE, Physics, and video/broadcast requirements.


The FMC525 is a 14-bit 5.7 Giga Samples Per Second (GSPS) D/A converter and a 12-bit 4.0 GSPS A/D converter. The DAC core is based on a quad-switch architecture that enables dual-edge clocking operation, effectively increasing the DAC update rate to 5.7 GSPS when configured for Mix-Mode™ or 2x interpolation. The input sampling clock can be via the front panel or the on board wide-band PLL. The FMC225 has a trigger input which is routed to the FMC connector. The analog input/output, clock input and trigger inputs are routed via SSMC connectors.
VadaTech offers FMCs in Networking, Digital Converter, and RF Module types. The Company also offers the full ecosystem of MicroTCA products, including FPGAs, MTCA infrastructure, processors, graphics, storage modules and more.

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

Model TR1 Tru-Trac

The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
