• Case study: Using VME to build an FPGA-based data acquisition system

  Fred Joerger Joerger Enterprises

  While many have turned away from VME in favor of VXS, VPX, and even PC-based “computer motherboard” modules, among other iterations, this case study shows that VME is still a viable candidate in FPGA-based data acquisition systems. The primary reasons: Its high pin counts and additional P0 connector – plusses that came in handy when Joerger Enterprises designed its new module’s basecards and daughtercards.
