Overview

The AD-FMCXMWBR1-EBZ is a FMC-compatible level translator and power supply board. It provides a direct connection between a compatible controller/FPGA device and X-Microwave blocks. It is powered from the FMC connector but has the option to add an external supply for applications that require higher load currents. This increases flexibility and allows for multiple supply voltages with high current capability. These can be used to bias the X-MW blocks or other ICs in a prototype design, allowing multiple level translated digital communications paths between the controller board and the front-end.

Features:

  • FMC-compatible form factor

  • Powered from FMC connector with external supply possibility

  • Provides level translation and various supply values

  • Compatible with RaspberryPi X-MW controller

Applications:

  • RF and Microwave designs

  • Voltage level translation

  • General-purpose software radios

  • Radar systems

  • Point to point communication systems

  • Multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) radios

  • Automated test equipment

Recommendations

People who follow the flow that is outlined, have a much better experience with things. However, like many things, documentation is never as complete as it should be. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on our EngineerZone forums, but before that, please make sure you read our documentation thoroughly.

Warning

All the products described on this page include ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000V readily accumulate on the human body or test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the boards feature ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. This includes removing static charge on external equipment, cables, or antennas before connecting to the device.
