November 14, 2011. Guzik’s ADC 6000 Series AXIe-based digital acquisition and processing module combines a high-speed waveform digitizer with built-in digital-signal-processing hardware, which enables mixed-domain signal capture and analysis with high-speed data transfer link to a computer. Analog bandwidth extends to 13 GHz.
The ADC 6000 comes in a display-less 1U 19” AXIe module form factor. The product targets ATE and OEM systems applications in semiconductors, military electronics, physics, astronomy, avionics, and a variety of other disciplines, as well as the disk drive head and media testing applications.
The ADC 6000 waveform digitizer module features Agilent A/D converters with sampling rates up to 40 GSPS and analog bandwidth up to 13 GHz. The instrument comes with up to 64 GBytes of acquisition memory. It features an FPGA-based reconfigurable digital signal processor with up to 7-GSPS combined processing speed to convey massive time-critical computations directly inside the instrument. A PCI Express Gen. 2 link provides fast transfer of the acquired data to the host computer’s GPU and CPU-based processing back-end. The x4 link delivers 1.6 GByte/s sustained data transfer rate. The ADC 6000 also comes with an NVidia® GeForce GTX 5703 GPU.
A software development kit is supplied to control the instrument and to integrate the ADC into existing AXIe measurement systems. Guzik also supplies a signal-display application for signal capturing and visualization.
