Adlink Technology PCIe-9842 PCI Express digitiser

Adlink Technology has released the PCIe-9842, its PCI Express digitiser providing 200 MSps sampling rate of 14 bits of data across one channel.

The device is specifically designed for applications such as light detection and ranging (LIDAR) tests, optical fibre tests and radar signal acquisition.

Its 100 MHz bandwidth analog input is designed to receive ±1 V high-speed signals. With this simplified front-end design and highly stable onboard reference, the digitiser provides not only high-accuracy measurement results but also delivers high-dynamic performance.

For applications that require data to be acquired and transferred in real time, the device is designed on the PCI Express x4 bus interface to provide adequate bandwidth for real-time transfers. As the signal is converted from analog to digital, the data will be transferred directly and continuously at a sustained 400 MBps rate to the host system memory.

End users will further benefit from a typical dynamic performance that includes a 11.3 effective number of bits (ENOBs) and a 70 dB signal-to-noise ratio with an input frequency of a 10 MHz sine wave.
