Curtiss-Wright VPX3-530 3U VPX Virtex-7 FPGA ADC/DAC

The VPX3-530, a rugged dual channel 4GSPS ADC/DAC packaged in the compact 3U form factor, is the ideal solution for SWaP-constrained defense applications such as SIGNIT, ECM and Radar Warning Receivers (RWR). The card is available in air- and conduction-cooled formats with a user-programmable Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA. It provides two 4GSPS 12-bit (or four 2GSPS) analog inputs and two 5.6GSPS update rate (maximum 2.8GSPS data rate) 14-bit analog outputs with XC7V690T FPGA.

The VPX3-530 3U VPX Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA ADC/DAC Card may be used in two ways – alongside a Single Board Computer (SBC) for simple configurations or in a larger array of synchronized high-speed analog I/O components. The VPX3-530 FPGA ADC/DAC Card provides in one unit all the necessary I/O resources for the ADC, DACs, high-speed DDR3 SDRAM, high-speed PCI Express (PCIe) and serial links – along with FPGA-driven parallel IO to the OpenVPX backplane.
