A VME computer can be used to provide the basis for a telemetry data processing station. Using “off-the-shelf cards” the designer is able to build up a front end that meet several of the data processing requirements. The ease in interfacing to the VME bus also provides a convenient platform for the development of highly specialized interfaces requiring programmable control. The results are a low-cost highperformance system that is easily expandable as needs and/or technology grow. Based on this strategy, the Physical Science Laboratory (PSL) at New Mexico State University developed a multichannel high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) assembly on a single VME board. The design approach used at PSL to develop the VME-based ADC is discussed in an effort to describe both developments in analog-to-digital conversion integrated circuits and the use of a VME CPU to control them for data processing purposes.Sponsors
