Datasheet

Description

The ADQ214 digitizer features dual channels, 14-bit resolution, 400 MSPS capture rate with 850 MHz analog input bandwidth, and a memory buffer of 64 MSample per channel. The combination of high speed, high resolution and wide bandwidth makes it ideal for broadband applications such as IF sampling of RF signals and high-speed data recording. Excellent spectral purity in combination with low noise also makes the ADQ214 ideal for noise measurements.

ADQ214 comes with an AC-coupled AFE with the bandwidth 10 Hz – 850 MHz, which is optimized for spectral purity over several Nyquist bands. The AC AFE is suitable for RF/IF sampling and pulse measurements. There is also a software selectable DC-coupled AFE with the bandwidth 350MHz which is optimized for base band signaling and high speed data recording. See the ADQ214 Datasheet for further details and for ordering information.​

The digitizer connects to the host via a high-speed USB 2.0 cable or through an optional PXI Express interface. All interface types allows for streaming of data at high transfer rates.​
