3.8 ADC and DAC interfaces
The interface module provides two A to D Converters (ADC) and a D to A Converter
(DAC). The two ADCs each provide eight analog inputs with buffered 0-5V inputs, an
internal multiplexer, and a 12-bit converter. The ADCs provide a 16-bit host interface
with conversion data appearing on D[11:0] (and zeros on D[15:12]). The ADCs are
clocked by a 4MHz crystal and are able to perform 200ksamples/s.
The DAC provides two 0-5V outputs with a 12-bit resolution.
The ADCs and DAC are powered from a 5V supply and share buffers to interface them
to the 3.3V system bus provided by the logic module.
Figure 3-10 shows the architecture of the ADCs and DACs.
Figure 3-10 ADC and DAC interface architecture
All of the interface signals are routed to the FPGA on the logic module. The ADCs and
DAC are supported by an AHB interface that is instantiated in the logic module code
example supplied with the IM-AD1.
