High-speed digitiser

22 February 2012 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies has introduced the high-speed M9703A, an eight-channel, 12-bit digitiser that complies with the AXIe open standard.

The instrument is capable of use in large-scale system configurations that pack 40 channels within a single 4U Agilent M9505A AXIe chassis or 80 channels into just 8U of rack-mount space. This makes it well suited for challenging experiments in particle physics, nuclear fusion, hydrodynamics and microwave radio astronomy.

The M9703A is a single-slot AXIe module with four- or eight-channel acquisition capability running at 1 GSps to 3,2 GSps. It can provide more than 1 GHz of instantaneous analog bandwidth and enables long acquisitions with its onboard memory of up to 4 GB. To ensure high throughput, the digitiser module provides a four-lane (x4) PCI Express Gen 2 backplane, enabling sustained data transfer rates of up to 1 GBps. With four onboard Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGAs, the M9703A also optimises measurement throughput and supports future implementations of high-performance data processing.

The M9703A digitiser is compliant with the AXIe and AdvancedTCA standards. Designed to benefit from fast data interfaces, the module can be plugged into AXIe or AdvancedTCA chassis slots.
