Overview
The M62/67 board provides a flexible platform for a wide variety of DSP-based data acquisition applications. The M6x boards combine the power of the 32-bit fixed-point C6201 or 32-bit floating-point C6701 DSP devices with parallel DSP-accessible onboard SRAM and SDRAM memories, digital I/O, and analog I/O module options. Two (2) onboard OMNIBUS module sites provide a range of analog I/O options depending on which module (or modules) are installed, including: - sampling rates from dc to 20 MHz- multi-channel (2-32 simultaneous; up to 64 multiplexed)
- type of A/D and D/A conversion; e.g. SAR or sigma-delta
- range of bit resolution, from 12 to 24 Combinations of the above parameters are possible by mixing and matching the modules installed on the M6x board.
The C6201 is a 32-bit fixed-point device with 16x16 multiplies and 32-bit fixed-point results; the C6701 is a 32-bit floating-point device with 32x32 multiplies and 32-bit floating-point results.
The M62/67 baseboard is available in two (2) form factors:- full-size PCI (standard PC)
- 6U cPCI (Compact PCI)
M62/67 Analog and Digital I/O Modules
The M62/67 input/output philosophy is entirely modular, providing two (2) daughterboard sites for a wide array of "OMNIBUS" modules, including:- A4D4 4-channel 16-bit 200 kHz SAR analog I/O with 6-pole antialias filters and 2-pole reconstruction filters, and software programmable gain
- SD4 4-channel 24-bit 96 kHz sigma-delta analog I/O; 104 dB SNR typical
- SD16 16-channel 16-bit sigma-delta analog I/O, 82 dB SNR typical
- S16-HS High-Precision 16-channel 16-bit dc to 195 kHz sigma-delta input; high level of dc accuracy
- A16D16 16-channel 16-bit 100 kHz SAR analog I/O with 2-pole antialias filters and 1-pole reconstruction filters
- A16D2 16-channel 16-bit 2 MHz multiplexed input, 2-ch 16-bit simultaneous output.
- AIX 4-channel 16-bit 2.5 MHz SAR input, with anti-alias filters
- AIX20 4-channel 12-bit 20 MHz SAR input
- DAC40 4-ch 14-bit 40 MHz SAR output
- Analog I/O Breakout Panel
Telecom Modules
Note that because the M62/67 contains two (2) module sites, modules can be doubled to provide 2x channel capability (the numbers in parentheses above), and modules can also be mixed, to provide flexible data acquisition combinations.M62/67 Specifications and Data Sheets
