2.1.2 Tiger Board Description
The Sonar Interface board (Tiger board) is the real-time controller for sonar processing. It includes
transmit waveform tables and multiple channels of 10-bit high speed digital-to-analog (D/A) converters,
support for external and internal triggers, and support for multiple sonar analog-to-digital (A/D)
converters.
The Tiger board was designed to support a combined sonar system (with both sub-bottom as well as multi-
frequency side-scan capability), or to be used single channel as a basic sub-bottom controller. At periodic
intervals the board generates the transmit waveform(s), and it continuously buffers ADC data.
The Tiger board represents a new generation of re-engineered and optimized sonar electronics. It is
designed to address a broad spectrum of sonar applications from a common and well tested base of
components. Among the features of this generation are lower power consumption, higher speeds, smaller
form factors, and high analog sensitivity-to-minimum noise electronics for improved operating ranges.
The Tiger board is actually composed of a set of three boards as shown in F
IGURE
2-1 : a Carrier board, an
Acquisition board, and a Sonar/IDE board. All three boards are connected electrically and mechanically as
a single assembly that plugs into the Mother board PCI slot.
2.1.2.1 Carrier Board
This board has the same physical size as an industry standard full slot PCI card. There are two BNC
connectors, TRIGGER IN and TRIGGER OUT, and female connectors on either side for mating with the
