Data Acquisition and Control

Background

A2E have extensive Data Acquisition development experience. This experience has included multiple designs with high performance analog design, high speed ADC's and DSP technology.

• Analog Devices, Freescale and Texas Instruments DSP's
• Altera, Xilinx and Lattice FPGA's
• 8 to 24 bit ADC's and DAC's
• Various interface standards including PCI, PCI-X, cPCI, PCIe, ATCA, PMC, AMC
• Use of high performance tools allows for complex layout and signal integrity analysis
• Experience of reliable designs including design for manufacture (DFM) and test (DFT) and detailed design verification test (DVT)
• Experience with various operating systems including Windows, Linux, VxWorks and many more

Project Example - 1.5G Analog Capture Card

• 1.5 Ghz Nat Semi ADC (8 bit)
• Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA
- Correlation Processing - Data Storage - Control Interface
• SPI Bus for Control and Status
• Signal Conditioning
- Front End Gain and Offset Controls
• Trigger Synchronisation
• 1.5 GHz VCO based PLL
• High Speed Data Transfer
• Local Voltage Supply Regulation
