BittWare recently announced a high performance analog-to-digital-I/O card in the PMC (PCI-mezzanine-card) form factor. The high-speed TRPM+ (Tetra-PMC) analog-input board pro-vides data capture for four 14-bit ADC channels operating as fast as 105 MHz and streams this data directly to a reconfigurable Altera Cyclone II FPGA. The FPGA controls the ADCs; distributes the high-speed, converted data; and enables configurable pre-processing of the data for digital filtering, decimation, and digital downconversion.
BittWare offers software-development tools that allow designers to develop application code and integrate the Tetra-PMC+ into their systems. For user-configured preprocessing, Altera provides a suite of development tools for the Cyclone II. The TRPM+ will be available in the second quarter of this year at a list price of $3995.
