Applications like software dened radio (SDR) are hungry for compact, modular data conversion. Feeding that need, iVeia has introduced the GigaFlex 220, a high-speed analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog I/O module designed for the iVeia Titan family of processing modules. The GigaFlex 220 adds two 14-bit 150 MSPS ADCs and two 14-bit 1 GSPS DACs to a Titan processing module creating a small form-factor platform ideal for intermediate frequency (IF) processing in SDR applications. Only 2.125 x 3.525 x 4.25 inches in size, the module has advanced clock generation circuitry that allows the software to independently set the sample rates of the dual ADC and dual DAC to almost any frequency. The GigaFlex 220 has a clock generator that can phase-lock to the onboard 10 MHz TCXO reference or an optional external reference. Through the Digital I/O Connector, the GigaFlex 220 provides one to two RS-232 UARTs and ve bi-directional general-purpose I/Os (GPIOs). The GPIOs may be used for time (1 PPS, IRIG-B and so on), synchronization, or custom user-programmable I/O. The product operates over temperature ranges of -40° to 85°C.
