##### Sinara 8452 DSP "Stabilizer"
The Sinara 8452 DSP is a CPU-based dual-channel digital signal processing platform, particularly suited to fast servo applications. It can be controlled by Kasli or work stand-alone with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) supply.
- 400MHz STM32H743ZIT6
- dual 16bit ADC with x2, x5, x10 PGA (2MS/s)
- 16bit AD5542A DAC (1µs settling time)
- PoE supply
- 10/100Base-T Ethernet
- connectors for optional analog front-end (AFE) module
- IDC connectors for BNC-IDC/SMA-IDC extension for digital IO and aux analog inputs and outputs
It can be used as a general-purpose PID controller. Several AFE extensions are under development including high current power supply for magnets.

##### Sinara 8451 Thermostat
The Sinara 8451 Thermostat is a 2-channel temperature controller EEM based on the Maxim MAX1968 driver, capable of driving 6W into a TEC or resistive heater. The sensor interface is based on AD7172 ADC.
Preliminary specifications:
- Channel count: 2
- Sensor: 10k NTC thermistor
- Load (heater/TEC) drive: up to 8W (+-2A with 4V compliance)
- Form factor: 3U module or stand-alone AL enclosure (Hammond 1455C1202).
- Output connectors: Sensor and load connect via either terminal block connector on the front panel or via internal 100mil pin-header.
- Programming interface: Ethernet accessible via RJ45 connector on the front panel
- Power supply: +12V DC (1.5A max) supplied either by a front-panel barrel connector, via 100mils Zotino connector, or PoE (up to 30W).
- STM32 MCU
This module is still in development and is not currently available.

##### SU-Servo
With the SU-Servo feature of ARTIQ, the Sinara 4410 DDS (which has fine amplitude control) can be used in combination with the 5108 Sampler to form a laser intensity servo. In this application, the 4410 DDS drives AOMs and photodiodes are connected to the 5108 Sampler to monitor laser intensities. When ordering your system, specify that you want SU-Servo integrated into the gateware.
See the <a href="/experiment-control/sinara-core/">Sinara Core</a> page for the relevant devices (1123 Processor "Kasli", 5108 Sampler, and 4410 DDS "Urukul").
