Board Description

The DAMC-DS5014DR is the most versatile 14-bit, 8-channel Digitizer among the other available MTCA digitizer families. It offers a broad range of sample rates at the MicroTCA form factor and a selectable AC or DC-coupled analog front-end, making it ideal for various detectors in advanced measurement scenarios. Its exceptional dynamic performance makes the DS5014DR well-suited for pulse-capture applications and RF/IF sampling.

Building Block

The core component of the DS5014DR module is the AMD Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC. The chip offers low-noise ADCs with a sampling rate up to maximum 5 GSPS with a wide input bandwidth of 6 GHz and low-noise DACs with a high sampling rate of 9.85 GSPS, which are attractive components for a multiple of scientific applications. The RFSoC includes plenty of digital resources and multi-core ARM processors that are combined with 3 independent DRAM channels for versatile processing implementations.
