Flashy acquisition board

Flashy is an high-speed analog acquisition board.
It is typically used with an FPGA board to create a digital oscilloscope.

Here's a one-channel Flashy (top board) with a BNC connector and a Pluto-II (bottom board). The combination makes a one-channel 100MSPS (mega-samples-per-seconds) digital oscilloscope.

The Flashy boards come in three speed grades:

• 60MHz oscillator with ADC08060 (runs from 20MHz to 70MHz typ.)
• 100MHz oscillator with ADC08100 (runs from 20MHz to 125MHz typ.)
• 125MHz/133MHz oscillator with ADC08200 (runs from 10MHz to 230MHz typ.)

Flashy with a KNJN FPGA board

When Flashy is used in conjunction with KNJN FPGA boards, we provide the following software:

• FlashyMini (source code): retrieve data to the PC.
• FlashyDemo (binary): digital oscilloscope with GUI.

Here's a view of FlashyDemo (click on the picture for a bigger view):

Note that there are actually four boards available.

Board name	V-pos	V-range	Period output	# of inputs
Flash	POT	-	-	1
Flashy	POT & DAC	POT & DAC	Yes	1
FlashD	POT	-	-	2
FlashyD	POT & DAC	POT & DAC	Yes	2

Legend:

• POT=potentiometer control (requires the use of a small screwdriver)
• DAC=digital control

For more details, see the Flashy datasheet here.
