The FMC159 is an FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) per VITA 57.1 standard, offering a small footprint and providing serial I/O and baseband data acquisition. It includes eight RS-485/RS-422 balanced input/outputs via a High-Density Connector (HDC), with termination being configurable per port.

The unit also includes four channels of ADC input (LTC2325-16) via an RF High-Density connector together with onboard reference voltage and EEPROM for calibration data. A single trigger input allows data acquisition to be synchronized across all channels, while an onboard PLL generates a sampling clock that can be synchronized to either the front panel or backplane clock.
