Sundance: Using the SMT350 ADC/DAC Board

E-mail Print PDF
This application note describes the 3L Diamond example applications supporting the Sundance SMT350 board.

The SMT350 incorporates two Texas Instrument Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADS5500) and one Texas Instrument dual-channel Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC5686).  It can be combined with Xilinx Virtex-2pro, Virtex4 and Virtex5 SLB boards.  For each one the combination a 3L Diamond application is provided and this document describes the application as well the hardware layout.

The 3L Diamond projects with source code are available on request.
