ISI / Molex XU-AWG PCI Express XMC Module

ISI / Molex XU-AWG PCI Express XMC Module features two eight-lane high-speed serial links: one on XMC connector P15 and one on P16. These links can support several protocols, including up to eight-lane PCIe, Aurora, or user defined. The XU-AWG XMC card has two AC-coupled single-ended digital-to-analog converter (DAC) outputs with programmable DC bias. The high-speed, high-performance Analog Devices AD9162 DACs employ synchronization support, fixed latency, interpolation, and unique output circuits providing improved frequency synthesis in the 2nd and 3rd Nyquist zones. A Xilinx Kintex® Ultrascale XCKU060 FPGA with 4GB DDR4 RAM memory offers a high-performance DSP core for demanding applications such as RADAR and wireless IF generation. The close integration of the analog front-end, memory, and host interface with the FPGA enable real-time signal processing.

Typical applications for ISI / Molex XU-AWG PCI Express XMC Module include high-speed arbitrary waveform generation, IP development, instrumentation, automated test equipment software, and much more.
