AD484
4-channel 125MSPS PMC digitizer
BuiltWithNOF

Description

The AD484 is a high performance PMC digitizer module dedicated to digital signal processing applications with high bandwidth and complex algorithms requirements. In addition to four 125MSPS A/D channels, the AD484 offers fast on-board memory resources and two Virtex-4 FPGAs. Up to 4x 2.5Gbps optical tranceivers for serial FPDP or gigabit Ethernet applications are available for communication with external systems (eg, storage system). The AD484 implements a comprehensive clock circuitry that allows synchronisation among the converters and cascading modules for multiple receiver systems as well as the use of an external reference clock. It provides a complete conversion solution and stands as a platform that can be part of a receive base station.
