Notice of Intent to Noncompetitively Acquire Board Prototype

The National Institute of Standards and Technology is seeking to noncompetitively acquire a board prototype for a memory characterization platform. The board will be used to characterize and evaluate custom analog memory devices developed by researchers and industry. The prototype board is a complex system containing several Analog to Digital Converters (ADC), Digital to Analog Converters (DAC), operational amplifiers, and a specific 256-pin socket for custom memory devices. The board fabrication is to be done with FR4 or FR408HR material, and a rigid-flex or rigid-type board with Class II inspection is required. • The board contains several Analog to Digital Converters (ADC), Digital to Analog Converters (DAC), Operational Amplifiers, Analog Multiplexers, Digital Potentiometers, an FMC module, 256-pin socket for a custom memory device, and Avnet Ultrascale+ SOM (XCZU3EG-1SFVA625). • Board fabrication is to be done with FR4 or FR408HR material. • A rigid-flex or rigid-type board with Class II inspection is required. • All components required for assembly, other than the memory socket, shall be included.
