C Serial EEPROM. A/D Converter (U1, U2) The Data Conversion HSMC contains two AD9254 14-bit 150 MS/s A/D converters. This device is designed for high-speed and high-performance applications. The inputs to these A/D converters are transformer-coupled in order to create a balanced input.
AD9254 A/D converter input with SMA cables. D/A Converter (U3) The D/A converter (U3 for channels A and B) on the Data Conversion HSMC provides 14-bit resolution and produces samples at rates up to 275 MS/s. It is a high-speed TI DAC5672 D/A converter and is set up to drive a differential-to-single output through a transformer.
DAC5672 D/A converter output with SMA cables. Audio CODEC Converter (U5) The Data Conversion HSMC contains three stereo jack and one mic jack connectors which provide one stereo output, one stereo input, one amplified stereo headphone output, and one microphone input. The stereo jacks are driven by a stereo audio CODEC running at 8 to 96 kHz.
Samtec connector is modified by removing every third pin in bank 1. CMOS utilization of the HSMC pins is assumed and no options for supporting other differential signaling are provided with the board. The eight clock-data-recovery high-speed transceiver channels are not connected on this HSMC.
.626 REF DP Bank .036 REF .006 REF C Serial EEPROM (U14) There is a 2-Kbit I C Serial EEPROM on the Data Conversion HSMC. Table 2–19 lists the I C Serial EEPROM board reference and manufacturing information. Table 2–19. I...
A/D Power Supplies (U6, U7, U8) The power supply block distributes clean power from the 12-V and 3.3-V input supply (from the host board through the HSMC connector) to the Data Conversion HSMC through on-board regulators. To provide various voltage options, the board uses several Linear Technologies regulators.
