High-Throughput PCI Digitizer Cards Cut Test Times Up To 100-Fold

A new family of PCI 12-bit digitizer cards features high levels of throughput that reduce automated testing times by a factor of 10 to 100 compared with other methods. The family consists of the 300-MHz, 400-Msample/s DP310 with 64 kpoints of memory (4 Mpoints optional); the 100-MHz, 200-Msample/s, 32-kpoint DP308; and the 100-MHz, 100-Msample/s, 32-kpoint DP306. The latter two have an optional 2 Mpoints of memory. All three deliver up to a 64-dB signal-to-noise ratio, 78 dB of spurious-free dynamic range, and a time base with precision of ±2 ppm. Available now, prices are $9490, $6990, and $4490 each for the DP310, DP308, and DP306, respectively.
