Overview
The ADQ114 is the world leading 14 bit digitizer. With its unique 800 MSps capture rate, enabled by SP Devices’ ADC interleaving technology ADX, the ADQ114 opens for demanding measurements such as RF/IF sampling, high resolution ultra sound imaging and high-speed data recording.
Analog Front End (AFE)
In its default configuration, the ADQ114 comes with an AC-coupled AFE with a lower cut-off frequency of 10 Hz, but several options are available such as a DC AFE which uses amplifiers, or a low frequency AC coupled AFE. See the ADQ114 Datasheet for further details and for ordering information.
Interface to the Host
The digitizer connects to the host via a high-speed USB 2.0 cable or through an optional Compact PCI Express / PXI Express interface. All interface types allows for streaming of data at high transfer rates.
Software Development Kit (SDK)
The ADQ114 comes with an easy-to-use API that allows easy integration into any application. Software tools for application development include C/C++, Matlab and DLLs for Windows XP/Vista. The SDK also includes SP Devices´ data capture tool, ADCaptureLab.
FPGAs and the ADQ Development Kit
The ADQ114 employs two Xilinx Virtex 5 FPGAs. The first FPGA, a XC5VSX50T-1, runs the SP Devices’ interleaving algorithm. The second FPGA, a XC5VLX30T-1, handles the data management, such as DRAM, host communication, triggers and control. This FPGA is opened to the user through the ADQ Development Kit for implementation of customized signal processing. This kit contains everything that is needed to get started with the FPGA development, and also includes examples and documentation. FPGA upgrades are available for demanding real time signal processing tasks.
Acquisition Functions
Standard trigger options are external, software and level trigger. The ADQ114 supports single and multiple records. The multiple records mode can be combined with any trigger function. A time stamp function tags each record with timing information. Enhanced trigger accuracy gives trigger time on sub sample level.
