Abaco ICS-1572A Transceiver Module

ICS-1572A Transceiver Module

ADC/DAC XMC with Virtex-6 FPGA

Overview

Powerful, flexible signal processing

High performance digital/analog, analog/digital conversion

16-bit data acquisition speed delivers industry-leading power

XMC module provides optimum SWaP characteristic

Demanding radar, sonar, signals intelligence, communications and test and measurement applications are the target for the ICS-1572A,

which has at its heart a Xilinx® Virtex®-6 FPGA to deliver the processing power needed for the most demanding tasks.

Off-the-shelf – but highly customizable

The ICS-1572A is equipped with a Xilinx Virtex-6 LX240T that can be loaded with standard functions such as wideband DDC, FFT and time stamping – or programmed by the user for any required function.

A broad range of connectivity

Dual transformer-coupled 16-bit analog inputs and outputs (operating at 250MHz/ 500MHz per channel respectively) and PCI Express™ from the FPGA to the host system mean that host integration is straightforward,

minimizing effort and time-to-market.
