AD450 
2-channel 125MSPS digitizer and DAC
BuiltWithNOF

Description

The AD450 is a high performance PMC digitizer module and waveform generator dedicated to digital signal processing applications with high bandwidth and MIMO requirements. The AD450 also 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).
