Sig5120-8 40 MHz Analog Input Module

This product only available for OEM, high-volume customers

 
Sig5120-8 module preliminary mechanical drawing shown above. The Sig5120-8 module uses both sides of a small PCB to provide high-density, 8-channel, 40 MHz analog input, compatible with an array of off-the-shelf PCI and PC/104 cards.

Feature Summary

  • Eight (8) 10-bit fully independent 40 MHz input channels using state-of-the-art Texas Instruments device technology

  • All channels sampled simultaneously

  • Dual 64k x 80 FIFOs; accessible to host processor as 8 x 10 bit words (1 FIFO installed) or 8 x 20 bit words (2 FIFOs installed)

  • 2-pole anti-alias filter per channel, default fc=20MHz

  • Input impedance 50 W per channel

  • Power down option per channel

  • High signal integrity Mictor breakout connector for analog front-end, provides termination for individually shielded conductors

  • Direct Analog Input configuration provides option to bypass analog front-end

  • Supported by DirectDSP® and Hypersignal®-Macro development software (see below)

Applications

The Sig5120-8 may be used in a variety of applications including radar, satellite, wireless IF digitizing, ultrasound, disk drive testing, CCD camera digitizing, process control, transient capture, aerodynamic testing, and other high signal rate applications. The Sig5120-8 also targets portable instrumentation where low power consumption is critical.

Conversion Technology

The Sig5120-8 uses the Texas Instruments ADS5120 low-power CMOS A/D converter to deliver high performance and precision. The ADS5120 device uses a switched capacitor, 10-stage pipeline architecture to sample inputs at up to 40 MHz.

Compatibility with DSP Boards and Other I/O Options

When used with SigC54xx, SigC55xx, and SigC67xx PC/104 and PCI boards, the Sig5120-8 module can be combined with a variety of analog, digital, and telecom I/O options

  • Multichannel 16-bit sigma-delta analog I/O

  • Quad or single T1/E1 telephony interface (integrated framers and transceivers), available both at RJ-45 connectors on board backplate and MVIP H.100 connector

  • 8-line POTS telephony interface

  • Dual RS-232 asynchronous serial ports

  • USB 2.0 interface

  • Quad (4) RS-422/423 synchronous serial ports

  • Boot/FLASH EEPROM

  • 1149.1 JTAG header

Specifications and Data Sheets

Sig5120-8 Module Software Support

Sig5120-8 modules, when used with SigC54xx, SigC55xx, and SigC67xx PC/104 and PCI boards, are supported by Signalogic off-the-shelf DSP software products designed for DSP-based real-time processing and C54/55xx and C67xx DSP code development, including:

  • Hypersignal®-Macro and Hypersignal-Acoustic software series, which offer a number of simulation and real-time instrument functions. Simulation functions include DSP and math functions, time domain display (including waterfall, contour, magnitude, unwrapped phase), difference equation, digital FIR and IIR filter design, sampling rate conversion, frequency zoom, wavelet transform, minimum phase calculation, and many more. Instrument functions include spectrum analyzer, digital oscilloscope, stimulus & response measurement, continuous signal generation, real-time; "snap-in"; filtering, continuous disk record and generate, and more.

  • DirectDSP® is a Windows library that provides low-level and high-level calls for user-defined C/C++, Visual Basic, MATLAB®, or LabVIEW® programs. The DirectDSP API includes low-level hardware control functions such as reset/run/hold, register access, block memory transfer, DSP executable file download, etc. High-level functions include waveform file acquire/generate, continuous signal generation and execution of any arbitrary Hypersignal DSP or math function. DirectDSP includes strip-chart recorder, digital oscilloscope and digital tape recorder demo program and source code examples.

  • The C67xx Source Code Interface contains numerous C67xx algorithms and functions in source and binary form, such as optimized FFTs, filters, matrix, transcendental, trig, signal manipulation function, processor and card initialization and analog I/O examples, etc. These functions form the basis of higher-level software functions and instruments; modification can be used to customize Hypersignal or DirectDSP software operation. User-defined C routine hooks are provided for real-time algorithm development. The C54/55xx and C67xx SCIs can be used as a basic foundation for user-defined real-time DSP systems and products.
