2 General description The FMC230 is a two channel DAC FMC daughter card. The card provides two 14-bit up to 5.7 GSPS DAC channels which can be clocked by an internal clock source (optionally locked to an external reference) or an externally supplied sample clock. There is one trigger input for customized sampling control.
UM023 FMC230 User Manual r1.11 4 Design 4.1 Physical specifications 4.1.1 Board Dimensions The FMC card complies with the FMC standard known as ANSI/VITA 57.1. The card is a single-width, conduction-cooled mezzanine module (with region 1 and front panel I/O). There may be a mechanical conflict with the front rib on a carrier card.
UM023 FMC230 User Manual r1.11 FMC Top Connector The top connector is the main connector to the FMC carrier board. The pin-out is defined in the appendix. The connector is a HPC connector. FMC Bottom Connector The high-pin count connector enables FMC card stacking. The following connections are available between the top and bottom FMC connector: ...

Frequency range Internal sampling clock Format LVPECL DAC: up to 5300MHz (Software selectable, contact 4DSP for Frequency Range frequencies higher frequencies up to 5700MHz) Table 2 : FMC daughter card main characteristics 3.3V LVTTL into 50Ohm would result in 14dBm, a 1A Schottky diode in the clock input circuit protects the clock input from overvoltage when driving the input with a LVTTL signal.
ETC1-1-13 (MACOM; 4.5 to 3000MHz) as shown in Figure 4. This configuration is the recommended output circuit for mixed-mode operation of the DAC, for details refer to the AD9129 datasheet.. Please contact 4DSP for custom configurations.
UM023 FMC230 User Manual r1.11 Note: When internal clock is enabled and there is no need for an external reference, it is highly recommended to leave the clock input unconnected to prevent interference with the internal clock. 4.7 External reference input There is one MMCX reference input on the front panel that can serve as reference clock input.

The SPI communication bus is connected to a CPLD which has the following tasks: ...
For standalone operations (such as on a Xilinx development kit), it is highly recommended to blow air across the FMC and ensure that the temperature of the devices is within the allowed range. 4DSP’s warranty does not cover boards on which the maximum allowed temperature has been exceeded.
