Hardware

Basil also allows easy integration with custom Hardware.

For our purpuse we developed general purpose hardware components which connect to custom DUTs. The MultiIO board (MIO) implements the main FPGA for digital IO, memory ressources, and the interface (USB 2.0) to the PC. To add analog functionality, the Gerneral Purpose Analog Card (GPAC) was developed. It connects to the MultiIO board and provides 4 programmable power supplies, 12 current sources, 4 voltage sources, 4 fast ADC channels, digital IO with scalable voltages, LVDS, and a programmable injection pulse generator. The device under test (DUT) will be connected with a custom PCB to the MIO/GPAC hardware.
