This card design is much much powerful than the previous one. We are very thrilled! Here is some of the highlights:
- We are now using one 1x AD + 8 x DA + Opamps per channel (instead of using the Sample&Hold approach)
- We now have an independent microcontroler per card
- We now have power rails for 5v Analog, 5v Digital and 12v which are isolated and self-regulated directly on each card
- Motherboard now has power up/power down control over the card
- VCA Cuts are now detected by digital threshold and are set by a fast digital switch (instead of detector+transistor circuit) - VCA ONLY
- Card can now be totally tested and driven without the need of motherboard (for testing purposes) - completely independent from the motherboard
- Card can now have a serial interface which will allow for comprehensive testing/debugging interface
Cheers,
