Description

ADQ14 is a 14-bit digitizer family with 1, 2, or 4 channels and 0.5, 1, or 2 GSPS sampling rate. It is also available with either AC or DC coupling (ADQ14AC and ADQ14DC) and comes in five different form factors. This simplifies integration and enables cost-efficient system-level design. ADQ14 offers AC- or DC-coupling and variable DC-bias. It is also available with variable voltage input range. This combined with high analog input bandwidth makes it support a wide range of sensors. With up to 4 channels per board and with high-precision multi-board synchronization capabilities ADQ14 is ideal for massive multi-channel implementations.​
