This card provides a host interface for serialized headstages and miniscopes, as well as general purpose analog and digital IO. It is a VITA-57.1 compliant module that uses high pin-count FMC connector. In combination with a base FPGA board (e.g. Numato Lab Nereid, it provides host PC communication for the following:
- Two deserailizers for any multifunction headstage conforming to the ONIX serialization protocol
- 12x 16-bit, +/-10V analog outputs or inputs. Direction selected via analog switch controllable over the FMC connector. Analog inputs are separated into 2 simultaneously sampled 6-channel banks.
- Analog output are always looped back using the analog inputs.
- 3x high speed LVDS input pairs
- 2x high speed LVDS outputs pairs
- 2x high speed, arbitrary logic-level, singled-ended Hi-Z or 50-ohm clock inputs
- 1x high speed single ended, 50-ohm clock output
- 4x MLVDS input or output trigger lines
