Summary

The XRM-ADC-Q8/250 is an XRM2 I/O Module, providing four Analog to Digital converters with 14-bit resolution at sampling rates up to 250Msps.

Aimed at IF/Baseband Signal Sampling, the sampling clock can be sourced from either an external clock source or from a clock generated within the attached FPGA board. The Trigger I/O port is provided for use as a trigger input and general purpose signaling. An additional two ports are available for use as high-speed interconnect between boards for synchronisation.
The built-in thermal monitor allows the user to check the operating temperature of the ADC. Provided as part of the sample design is the functionality to read the temperature of the device, and software to monitor this and recalibrate the ADC if the thermal drift is sufficient. The software will also shut the ADC down if the device starts to go over the maximum operating temperature.
