The Annapolis Dual DAC I/O Card provides one or two individually configurable 12 bit output streams, and is available for up to either 2.3 GSps or 1.5 GSps, with high output power, exceptional gain, and flatness in multiple Nyquist zones. This COTS board includes a Virtex II Pro P70 for user-configurable, real-time generation of sophisticated analog signals, and up to 1 GByte of DDR DRAM. The Xilinx Virtex II Pro 70 on the board provides user-configurable, real-time continuous sustained processing of the full data stream. Use the high precision trigger to synchronize the two on-board DAC channels (<1 Fs period) or to synchronize DACs between multiple boards (<2 Fs periods). Use the Annapolis WILDSTARTM Clock Synchronization Distribution board to supply up to 8 clocks and triggers to multiple boards. One or two Dual DAC cards fit onto a COTS Annapolis WILDSTARTM II Pro for PCI or VME FPGA based processing board.
