The 474DM Advanced Digital PCM Bit Sync is a state-of-the-art compact “mezzanine” design that provides a cost effective and modular high quality bit sync add-on to Acroamatics entire line of single slot PCI single card TM processing card products. The 474DM is compatible with both existing legacy and our latest leading-edge design telemetry card components. Based on our latest (3rd generation) bit sync design, it shares the latest techniques in FIR filtering,digital phase-locked loop, NCO clock reconstruction, and digital amplitude and offset control with it’s larger PCI cousin, the Model 1611P. Incorporating a leading-edge FPGA, the modern design delivers a greatly reduced parts count, improved reliability, and expanded capabilities – including options normally found only in box level and multi-card bit sync/encoder designs. The 474DM supports options such as Frame Sync Pattern Verification, BERT, PRN and programmable PCM simulator, and Convolutional encode/decode.
