DataStorm DAQ Platform: Flexible Data Acquisition Solution for FPGA-Based Designs
Today’s data acquisition systems are crucial elements for accurately capturing and processing real-world information. As system requirements for speed and accuracy increase, issues related to timing and data integrity become more challenging. To ease these design challenges, Arrow and Analog Devices provide validated reference platforms that connect Analog Devices’ precision data converters, sensors, and other signal chain components to FPGAs and microprocessors. One such example is the DataStorm DAQ Platform.
The DataStorm DAQ is an Intel® Cyclone® V development kit designed for quick prototyping or proof of concept development. The on-board Cyclone® V FPGA has 85K LEs and includes a dual ARM® Cortex®-A9 MPCore™ to support a wide range of applications in instrumentation and measurement, medical, and communications. The board supports low pin count (LPC) FMC and PMOD connectors for easy extensibility. These connectors enable the FPGA to interface with analog signal chain components such as data converters, sensors, and other signal chain blocks. For example, for applications requiring accurate measurements, testing between the FPGA and precision data converters can be performed using mezzanine cards with LPC FMC connectors. Similarly, proof of concept evaluation can be performed using data converters, sensors, RF components, and more.
The DataStorm DAQ platform includes demo designs and tools, such as HDL code, device drivers, and reference project examples for rapid prototyping and reduced development time. Currently, the following mezzanine boards are supported with a full suite of tools and demonstrations:
- •  EVAL-AD4020FMCZ evaluation board with LPC FMC connector: 20-bit 1.8 MSPS, easy drive, differential SAR ADC
