1. Introduction
This is the manual for the V490, a 16-channel fast analog-to-digital converter VME
module.
Features of the V490 include:
16 channels of differential analog input acquisition. Each channel is
independently programmable for input range, sample rate, operating
modes, and digital lowpass filtering.
Provides continuous, realtime measurement and simultaneously emulates
classic filtered, triggered ADC modes.
Input ranges from ± 10.24 mV to ± 40.96 volts with 16-bit resolution.
Common-mode rejection 100 dB typ, ± 10 volt common-mode range.
Overload protected to ± 250 volts on all ranges
ADC per channel with 500 Ks/s sample rate
Analog+DSP filter modes from 1 Hz to 100 KHz
4K sample FIFO and trigger interpolator per channel provide nanosecond
external-trigger accuracy.
FIFO input sample rate is programmable with internal, VME, or external
triggering. Unlimited numbers of modules may be simultaneously triggered.
No realtime handshaking is required. Once channel parameters are set up,
measurements appear in dual-port memory registers with VMEbus-speed
access.
Separate test connector supports in-crate calibration check.
Clearly labeled dipswitches set VME address; no jumpers, headers, or
trimpots.
Optional built-in self-test (BIST)

3.2 Signal Processing
In the standard V490, all sixteen ADCs are triggered at a constant 500 KHz rate.
Each resulting data stream is digitally lowpass filtered and the result posted to a
"realtime" VME register at the 500 KHz rate. Users may read this register at any
time.
An alternate path for ADC data provides a separate digital lowpass filter, a
programmable sample rate clock, trigger interpolator, and a 4K sample FIFO
memory with its own VME interface.
Signal Processing
Filter types and bandwidths are programmable on a per-channel basis, with filter
responses available from 1 Hz to 100 KHz. The combination of pre-ADC analog
filtering, constant 500 KHz digitizing, and programmable digital filtering allows
essentially alias-free data acquisition.
The output of Filter A is immediately available to the VME interface, simulating an
ADC that receives a lowpass filtered analog input and is triggered the instant that it
is read by VME.
