ipm-adc

The IPM-ADC is a standard IndustryPack (IPack) module that can be used with MAX Technologies’ PCI, CPCI, VME and PXI intelligent carrier boards. The IPM-ADC module can also be used with MAX Technologies’ MAXVME-6400 VME-64x dumb carrier board or third party carrier board that offers 32-Mhz IPack support.

Additional configurations and accessories are available. Please contact us to inquire.

OVERVIEW

The IPM-ADC provides a fast 16-bit resolution Analog to Digital (A/D) conversion. Available as a 32 MHz single-size Industry Pack (IPack) module, the IPM-ADC offers programmable scan control and up to four scanning modes.

The user can scan all channels or define a subset for more frequent sampling. Burst mode scans selected channels at the maximum conversion rate. Uniform mode performs conversions at user-defined intervals. Both modes can scan continuously, or execute a single cycle upon receiving a trigger. Analog samples and timetags are accessible through a 2048 word FIFO.

The IPM-ADC includes on-board IRIG-B decoder and sampling timetags providing accurate timing and synchronization between channels and modules.

Carrier Board Support

The functionality of the IPM-ADC is further enhanced by the power of MAX Technologies’ line of intelligent multi- platform (VME, PCI, CPCI, PXI) carrier boards. All modules and carrier boards are synchronized and time correlated to 32-bit microsecond-resolution.

Software Support

The MX-Foundation library provides high-level abstraction of hardware and allows to easily control mixed protocols and I/O modules on one or multiple carrier boards.
