2.3. External equipment
The QUAD 8bit Demo kit needs very little external hardware.
•
RF generator for Analog input signal
o
The QUAD 8bit can convert analog signals up to 620MHz
o
For optimum performance this generator must have a low phase noise
Please see example of signal generator
•
Cables & Power Supply (provided by e2v)
o
Universal 12V power Adapter & Cables
o
USB Cables to communicate with a PC (control of ADC settings and settings for data
acquisition)
•
PC with Windows
o
Windows 2000/98/XP and Windows
NT
Please see chap 4.1
Overview
•
FPGA evaluation board compatible with VITA57 FMC standard
o
This Demo Kit board has been specially designed to be plugged with the XILINX
VIRTEX 6 evaluation board EK-V6-ML605-G
.
The QUAD 8bit could be used with other FPGA evaluation boards compatible with
VITA57 FMC standard. However, an assessment of available connections should be
made to ensure full compatibility.
Option
•
RF generator for clock input signal for clock different to 2.5 GHz
o
The QUAD 8bit Demo kit provide clock signal at 2.5 GHz with PLL
o
The QUAD 8bit Demo kit could be tested with other clock frequency
Please see chap 6.4
Clock selection
Example of signal generator:
Agilent E4424B 250KHz 2GHz (High spectral purity)
SSB phase noise @1GHz (20 kHz offset) <-134dBc/Hz
Agilent E4426B 250KHz 4GHz (High spectral purity)
SSB phase noise @1GHz (20 kHz offset) <-134dBc/Hz
SMA100A 9 KHz 6GHz (High spectral purity)
SSB phase noise @1GHz (20 kHz offset) <-140dBc/Hz
