Leverage Proven Analog I/O Designs for FPGAs and Get to Market Faster with High-Precision and High-Speed Data Acquisition System
Maxim Integrated's powerful and easy-to-use GUI simplifies designs for precision signal chain applications.
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- FPGA engineers can quickly evaluate and validate their FPGA-based control systems and get to market faster, using the high-speed MAXREFDES74# 18-bit data acquisition system (DAS) reference design from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM).

Achieving high-precision, high-speed digital control loops is a challenge for designers. But now the MAXREFDES74# DAS provides an 18-bit acquisition analog input and output front end for applications demanding high precision and high-speed data conversion based on FPGA digital processing. The MAXREFDES74# plugs directly into a standard FPGA I/O expansion (FMC) and is fully equipped with complete hardware, firmware for Zynq FPGAs, Maxim's easy-to-use PC-GUI, and Gerber files. The powerful online GUI tool displays the performance of the signal chain and eliminates the need for scopes or other equipment to generate and analyze waveforms, greatly simplifying the evaluation and validation phase. The MAXREFDES74# is a ready-made solution for analog inputs and outputs built for FPGA-based systems. It is flexible and applicable for a wide range of industrial and medical applications, including test and measurement, instrumentation, industrial automation and process control markets.
Key Advantages
-- Ease of design and faster time-to-market: high performance proven design
and GUI simplifies system validation, calibration, and data analysis,
offering a complete solution to optimize performance.
-- Flexibility: pin compatible 16- or 18-bit signal path ICs provide the
ability to tune designs for a variety of FPGA systems in different
applications.
-- High precision and high speed: 16- and 18-bit solutions provide
excellent precision and accuracy; an integrated fast SAR data converter
enables high speed data conversion.
Commentary
-- "Our reference design helps designers achieve faster time to market
thanks to a complete, high performance, proven board design as well as
Maxim's powerful and easy-to-use GUI," said Carmelo Morello, Business
Manager for precision converters at Maxim Integrated.
-- "Proven analog I/O designs help design engineers unleash the power of
SoCs and FPGAs," said Jim Beneke, VP, Global Technical Marketing at
Avnet Electronics Marketing. "This solution from Maxim will help SoC and
FPGA engineers validate their control systems quickly and easily when
combined with Avnet's Zedboard(TM)."
Availability and Pricing
-- The board is available for $95 at Maxim's website and select franchised
distributors. Evaluation software, GUI, and Gerber files are provided
free with the board.
-- For information on other reference designs, please visit Maxim's
Reference Design Center.
Hi-res images for the MAXREFDES74# reference design and MAXREFDES74# schematic are available.
