Top ADC and DAC module goes industrial
In response to popular industrial demand for its power-house DAQ module, Sundance Multiprocessor Technology offer a new version of the best-selling SMT370, re-engineered into an industrial variant
The standard SMT370 has for five years provided physicists, researchers, system engineers and scientists with a high-quality and tightly integrated analogue interface for their digital signal processing applications Now, in addition to the installation of industrial-rated components, the heat sink and fan arrangement of the standard version has been replaced by a custom-made anodised aluminium heat sink which doubles as a Faraday cage, protecting the analogue signals from noise

DSP board for developers
Sundance Multiprocessor Technology has a new high-speed board that liberates DSP system designers, engineers and research specialists from having to custom-design their own boards or interconnections.
With no air-flow the system is rated to an ambient temperature of 40C, with no moving parts to replace.
"After five years of success as a flagship dual-channel ADC and DAC module, it is time this flexible and capable product was available for more industrial purposes," said Flemming Christensen, managing director of Sundance: "This is a significant milestone in our programme to bring our modular FPGA and DSP power to industrial applications".
The little SMT370-I offers a pair of 14-bit ADCs clocked at 105MHz and a pair of 16-bit DACs clocked up to 400MHz with interpolation.
These are integrated with its large Xilinx Virtex-II FPGA.
The module can be combined with the extensive range of Sundance DSP, FPGA, storage and radio modules to create full digital processing systems from COTS parts.
With comprehensive support from 3L Diamond FPGA, the SMT370 is easily integrated into complex arrays of modules, with all the otherwise tiresome configuration and communication functions handled behind the scenes using a simple but powerful GUI.
The SMT370-I is available now for a 10-off price of USD6245, with OEM prices available on request.
Sundance modules are supported by comprehensive firmware and software-development tools from leading suppliers, including TI, Xilinx and MathWorks.
The use of Diamond tools will kick-start any development using its leading-edge Eclipse-based IDE.
