Rugged A/D and D/A module targets military

The Cobalt 53621 3U VPX form factor ruggedized module for high-performance military/avionics applications features three 16-bit, 200-MHz A/D converters, three multiband digital down-converters, and two 16-bit 800-MHz D/A converters with DUC and interpolator. The card includes a Virtex-6 FPGA with full access to all data and control paths, up to 2 Gbytes of DDR3, and a crossbar switch that uses gigabit serial data paths.

Versions (536xx) are available with 12-bit, 500-MHz A/D conversion and with fewer options than the 53621. Other features include PCI Express (Gen 2) interfaces up to eight lanes wide, synchronous clocking locked to an external reference, and a LVPECL bus for synchronizing multiple modules. (Versions starting from $14,490 — available now.)
