High speed, high density FMC is not constrained by VITA57 height
A high speed, high density FPGA mezzanine card (FMC) with single DAC and eight ADCs has been announced by VadaTech. The FMC255 is a high-density ADC/DAC module with two LTC2107 that each provide a single channel ADC, 16-bit at 210Msamples per second. There is also dual AD9653 for a total of six additional ADC, 16-bit at 125Msamples per second and a single LTC2000-16 that provides a single channel DAC, 16-bit at 1.25Gsamples per second. Additionally, the clock source can be via the front panel.
The FMC255 module does not follow the VITA57 height constraint, says VadaTech. There is an additional daughter card that mates to the FMC module to allow it to accommodate the six ADC channels. For example, on the AMC FPGA FMC carriers, it requires a full-height AMC panel to accommodate all the I/Os. The carrier must have a monolithic panel (the FMC255 does not come with an FMC panel) to cover the FMC255 I/O envelope.
