HENDERSON, Nev. – VadaTech Inc. in Henderson, Nev., is introducing the AMC598 and VPX598 digital signal processing boards for communications intelligence (COMINT), signals intelligence (SIGINT), radar, research, and instrumentation.

These boards provide quad A/D conversion with sample rates as fast as 3 gigasamples per second (AD9208) at 14-bits and a quad D/A converter (Analog Devices AD9162 or AD9164) with update rates as fast as 12 gigasamples per second and direct RF synthesis at 6 gigasamples per second.

The boards have an on-board, re-configurable UltraScale XCKU115 field-programmable gate array (FPGA) which interfaces to the A/D converter and D/A converter.

The FPGA interfaces to three banks of DDR4 memory channels to store large buffer sizes during embedded computing as well as for queuing the data to the host.

The AMC598 comes with an 8HP panel size; it will occupy two mid-size slots in a chassis.

The VPX598 routes x8 high-speed serializer/deserializer (SerDes) to the P1 that could be configured as PCI express and Serial RapidIO and 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Aurora etc. and x8 high speed SerDes to P2 that could be configured for SRIO and 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Aurora.

The VPX module has an on-board dedicated health management processor that complies with the OpenVPX standard. The unit is available in a range of temperature and shock and vibration specifications per ANSI and VITA 47, up to v3 and OS2.
