The ADQ35-WB from Teledyne SP Devices is a versatile dual-channel data acquisition module with a sampling rate of 10 GSPS when using one analog channel and up to 5 GSPS per channel when using two analog channels. This Dual-Channel RF Digitizer has a 12-bit resolution and an analog bandwidth of 9 GHz. It is equipped with an open on-board Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale KU115 FPGA that provides ample resources for custom real-time digital signal processing (DSP) and supports peer-to-peer streaming at speeds of up to 14 Gbyte/s, enabling efficient data transfer to GPU, CPU, or SSD via PCIe Gen 3 data interface.
The ADQ35-WB open FPGA allows application-specific computations and direct down conversion (DDC) through the firmware development kit. The firmware offers complete control of the hardware and recording of the data with example codes provided for Python and C languages. This data acquisition module also has USB and GPIO interfaces for remote control.
This Digitizer has a built-in DRAM/PCIe controller, timing control, FIR filters, and general control functions. It also has ADCs, PCIe interface, EEPROM, configuration flash, DRAM memory, internal/external clock reference, and system manager.
The ADQ35-WB requires a DC supply from 10.8 to 13.2 V and consumes 48 W of power. It is available in a module that measures 111.15 x 269.55 x 18.42 mm and has SMA connectors. This RoHS-compliant digitizer is ideal for LiDAR, RADAR, high-speed RF data recording, scientific instruments, particle physics, disk drive test, quantum technology, and C-band direct sampling applications.
