PCIe digitiser

21 August 2013 Test & Measurement

The new U5303A from Agilent Technologies is a compact, dual-channel PCIe digitiser with 12-bit resolution, sampling up to 3,2 GSps, and onboard real-time processing. It is designed to deliver enhanced analog fidelity, high effective number of bits and very low noise.

The instrument offers DC to 1,8 GHz bandwidth, 9,1 ENOB (effective number of bits) at 100 MHz, 58 dB signal-to-noise ratio and very high data transfer rates from an eight-lane PCIe 2.0 interface. As a result, it is well suited for systems in commercial, industrial, aerospace and defence applications. Uses include medical imaging, environmental monitoring, analytical time-of-flight, ultrasonic non-destructive testing and radar.

The U5303A gives users the ability to integrate advanced real-time signal processing within the embedded Xilinx Virtex-6 field-programmable gate array. This is made possible by the Agilent FPGA development kit for high-speed digitisers. This software kit provides interfaces that leverage the full density and speed of the FPGA while ensuring the digitiser’s multi-gigasamples per second performance.
