Introduction
Overview
The SMT391 is a single width TIM module. It is capable of sampling two analogue
inputs at 1 GSPS with a resolution of 8 bits. An Atmel dual channel ADC
performs the analogue to digital conversion.
The SMT391 is a “Daughter-Module” that combines with a “base module” such as the
Thanks to this configuration, all the analogue circuits are on the SMT391 (on the top)
and the digital circuits are on the base module (on the bottom). This allows reducing
the cross-talk, provide better separation and heat-dissipation.
The interface between the base module and the SMT391 is digital. It is implemented
using the Sundance LVDS Bus (
Module Features
The main features of the SMT391 are listed underneath:
