High Performance, Low Power, Dual 8-Bit, 500 MSPS A/D Converter
ADC08D500 Product Folder Description:
ADC08D500DEV - Dual 8-Bit, 500 MSPS, 1.4W A/D Converter with Xilinx Virtex 4 (XC4VLX15) FPGA
The ADC08D500DEV Development System is designed to allow quick evaluation and design development of National Semiconductor's ADC08D500 8-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter. This device is specified for 500 MSPS operation in 2 channel mode or it can be configured as a 1 GSPS Converter in Dual Edge Sampling mode (DES).
This development board is designed to function with National Semiconductor's WaveVision Software, for fast evaluation. It requires only 3 connections to get started: a Power Supply, a USB Interface to PC and a Signal Source. A 500MHz Clock generator is provided on board and the system also allows an external clock to be used if alternative sample rates are required.
The ADC connects to a Xilinx Virtex4 FPGA which stores up to 4K of data from each channel before transferring it through the USB interface to the PC.
