Model 5242  (147)
Model 5342 is a multichannel, high-speed data converter suitable for connection to HF or IF ports of a communications system. It includes four A/Ds with one upconverter and D/A converter. The 5342 features built-in support for PCI Express (PCIe) Gen. 2 over the 3U VPX backplane. A unique fabric-transparent crossbar switch configuration adds gigabit serial data paths for Xilinx Aurora or Serial RapidIO applications.

A/D Converter Stage

The front end accepts four full scale

analog HF or IF inputs on front panel MMCX

connectors at +10 dBm into 50 ohms with

transformer coupling into Linear Technology

LTC2255 14-bit 125 MHz A/Ds.

The digital outputs are delivered into a

Virtex-4 FPGA for signal processing or for

routing to other module resources.

Digital Upconverter and D/A Stage

The 5342 features a TI DAC5686 digital

upconverter (DUC) and D/A. It accepts a baseband

real or complex data stream from its

FPGA with signal bandwidths up to 40 MHz.

When operating as an upconverter, the

DAC5686 interpolates and translates real

or complex baseband input signals to any

IF center frequency between DC and 160MHz. It delivers real or quadrature (I+Q)

analog outputs up to 320 MHz to the 16-bit

D/A converter. If translation is disabled, the

DAC5686 acts as an interpolating 16-bit D/A

with output sampling rates up to 500 MHz.
