WILD FMC+ QM60 ADC & DAC – WWQM60

This high performance WILD FMC+ QM60 ADC & DAC has four input bandwidth options, internal sample clock options and internal 10MHz reference clock options. This card allows for eight ADC and twelve DAC channels in one 6U OpenVPX slot (or four ADC and six DAC channels for 3U) when plugged into WILDSTAR OpenVPX FPGA mainboards. The QM60 also has speed grades up to 6GSps (ADC) and 12GSps (DAC) with a resolution of 12 Bits (ADC) and 16 Bits (DAC) .

Compatible with any WILDSTAR mainboard with a WILD FMC+ slot.

The WILD FMC+ QM60 ADC & DAC allows ADC and DAC sample rates as high as 6GSps and 12GSps, respectively, and provides up to eight channels of high speed, precision analog-to-digital and twelve channels of digital-to-analog converter outputs for a compatible motherboard. It provides excellent analog performance with flexible high-precision trigger options.
