ICS-554, a 105 MHz ADC PMC Module

Designed for high-performance software radio applications, the ICS-554 offers the ultimate in channel density, speed and performance. The ICS-554 includes four 14-bit ADCs. Each supports a sample rate of up to 105 MHz and boasts an SNR of greater than 74 dB and an SFDR of close to 100 dB. Each ADC is followed by a quad GC4016 programmable tuner device that supports both wideband and narrowband signal down conversion. A switch network in front of the tuners allows any or all of the 16 tuners to be assigned to any ADC output. An on-board Xilinx XC2V1000 FPGA following the tuner can be programmed for processing base band signals. The ICS-554 also includes a 512K sample on-board buffer and a powerful 66 MHz, 64-bit PCI DMA interface.

"ICS-554 puts 16 FDM receivers into a single width PMC card", says Dr. Dipak Roy, the company President. " With its ability to simultaneously process 4 antenna inputs, the ICS-554 is also ideal for spatial processing. A key feature of the ICS-554 is its ability to under sample VHF signals without any degradation of performance. The ICS-554 also allows multiple-board synchronization for higher channel count", adds Dr. Roy. "A PMC form factor implies that ICS-554 can be used with either PCI, cPCI or VME carrier boards"

The ICS-554 is offered in 1, 2 or 4 channel versions with or without the tuner modules. The prices begin at $3,995 in single quantity for the 80 MHz grade part. The delivery is 60 days ARO.
