This is a Revised Requirement Specifications document detailing the hardware components required for the ARTIQ system procurement. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Acquisition Management Division (AMD), Team E-Boulder issued this RFQ under solicitation number NB688000-26-00696. The specification outlines 12 distinct component types with specific quantities and technical requirements necessary to support an experimental hardware control and coordination system.
The required components include: 3 EEM AC Power Modules (minimum 200W output with Molex MiniFit connections), 5 Kasli cards for real-time experiment scheduling and hardware coordination, 1 Kasli-SoC with integrated CPU for faster control, 2 DIO-SMA-TTL cards with minimum 8 SMA connections for TTL I/O, 1 DIO-RJ45-TTL card with minimum 4 RJ45 connections for TTL I/O, 5 Urukul boards (minimum 4-channel phase coherent DDS for RF signal generation), 2 Fastino boards (minimum 32-channel deterministic DAC), 2 Shuttler analog waveform engines with 16+ channels, 2 Shuttler-AFE units (125 MSPS DAC with 16+ channels), 1 Songbird DAC board (minimum 2.5GS/s 16-bit low-noise), and 1 rack-mountable crate with airflow provisions. All components must be ARTIQ-integrated and synchronized to support precise timing and coordination of experimental hardware operations.

Requirement
EEM AC Power Module
3
EEM card to generate at least 200W from universal IEC input for supplying Artiq system with power. Molex MiniFit outputs.
Kasli
5
Artiq Integrated card to coordinate and drive experimental hardware. Required to: Hold and run the real-time experiment schedule, distribute clocks and perform synchronization, communicate with peripherals, communicate with master (both via ethernet and over fiber with DRTIO).
Kasli-SoC
1
Similarly, Artiq Integrated card to coordinate and drive experimental hardware. Required to: Hold and run the real-time experiment schedule, distribute clocks and perform synchronization, communicate with peripherals, communicate with master (both via ethernet and over fiber with DRTIO). Additionally, it must utilize an integrated CPU to act as a faster control system for the Artiq system.

Urukul
5
Artiq integrated, multiple channel (at least 4), phase coherent DDS board that generates precisely timed RF signals for driving AOMs and other frequency sensitive experimental hardware.
Fastino
2
Artiq integrated fast, deterministic multiple channel (at least 32) DAC board for generating precisely timed analog voltages, tightly synchronized with digital and RF hardware.
Shuttler
2
Artiq integrated high-speed, deterministic analog waveform engine. Required to continuously stream or update analog voltage data via spline waveform generation given spline knots. At least 16 channels
Shuttler-AFE
2
Takes the digital output stream from the above and turns it into analog voltages. At least 16 channels, 125 MSPS DAC.
DAC Songbird
1
Artiq integrated, low noise DAC board for generating stable, high-resolution analog tones via differential output. (At least 2.5GS/s 16-bit) Required to continuously stream or update analog voltage data via spline waveform generation given spline knots.
