​​SP Devices Introduces PCI Express Products
In this issue we are pleased to announce the release of our ADQ V6
Digitizer family members in PCI Express format. You can also read about
the latest exciting update of our ADQ214 digitizer.
PCI Express Interface Added to Our Most Powerful Digitizers!
With the powerful ADQ108 and ADQ412 digitizers, SP Devices ADQ V6
Digitizer Family has already set the standard for state-of-the-art data
capture in terms of sampling rate and vertical resolution. The 8-bit
ADQ108 offers up to 6.4 GS/s sampling rate, while the
12-bit ADQ412 enables dual channel operation at up to
3.6 GS/s per channel.
Previously available in a compact stand-alone USB format as well as a
flexible and high-throughput cPCIe/PXIe version, we are now pleased to
also introduce a PCI Express version of these popular products.
The ADQ V6 Digitizer Family features 1 GB of on-board memory and the PCI
Express version offers an 8-lane (x8) PCIe bus which allows for
high-throughput data transfers of over 1 GB/s to PC memory. Advanced
triggering modes are supported and include pre- and post-trigger, trigger
hold-off, level trigger, and external trigger. A multi-record feature
allows for capturing of data records of specified length on each incoming
trigger event.
Software is of included free of charge with the purchase of a digitizer
and includes easy-to-use ADCaptureLab as well as a C/C++ software
development kit (SDK) and a dynamic link library (DLL) to be used for
example with LabView.
The digitizers employ a powerful Xilinx Virtex 6 LX240T FPGA that supports
high-performance logic and advanced serial connectivity. Customers can
gain access to the FPGA by purchasing the optional ADQ Development Kit.
ADQ214 - Now With Software-Selectable AC/DC coupling
The ADQ214 is a dual-channel digitizer with 14 bits vertical resolution,
400 MS/s sampling rate, and 128 MSamples on-board memory. It is available
with USB or cPCIe/PXIe interface and employs two Xilinx Virtex 5 devices
that can be accessed through the optional ADQ Development Kit. 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.
We are now improving the flexibility of this device by adding
software-selectable AC/DC coupling. The type of coupling can easily be
changed both in the stand-alone software ADCaptureLab and through the
C/C++ API.
SP Devices Provides Solutions to the Complete Value Chain
We help our customers to improve competitiveness regardless of where they
are positioned in the value chain. The offering from SP Devices covers the
complete range from Silicon Manufacturers to System Integrators. SP
Device's products are available as Silicon IP, FPGA IP, reference designs,
and complete digitizer boards.
The ADX interleaving technology is available as silicon IP for chip
manufacturers and semiconductor companies who need to increase ADC
sampling speed. ADX is also available as FPGA IP, targeting the market of
system suppliers, digitizer companies, and T&M companies.
For customers who do not want to design their own digitizer solution, SP
Devices offers both off-the-shelf digitizer solutions as well as
customized digitizers.
