​

The ADQ35 Series offers versatile and high-performance data acquisition solutions. The ADQ35 model features a two-channel configuration with a 5 GSPS sampling rate or a single-channel at 10 GSPS. It includes a programmable DC-offset for sampling unipolar signals and an open onboard Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale KU115 FPGA for custom real-time digital signal processing (DSP). It supports peer-to-peer streaming up to 14 Gbyte/s to host PCs or GPUs.

The ADQ35-PDRX enhances the ADQ35’s capabilities by using an onboard splitter to divide the input signal into two paths with distinct gain settings, capturing both low-amplitude and high-amplitude portions accurately. This model increases the dynamic range, achieving performance comparable to a 16-bit digitizer while maintaining a high sampling rate. It includes all features of the ADQ35, such as high-speed data streaming, open FPGA, and advanced triggering and clocking.

The ADQ35-WB is designed for high-frequency applications, offering a dual-channel configuration with a 5 GSPS sampling rate or a single-channel at 10 GSPS, and a 9.0 GHz usable analog bandwidth. Like the other models, it features an open onboard Xilinx Kintex Ultrascale KU115 FPGA and supports peer-to-peer streaming at speeds up to 14 Gbyte/s.​​


​

By utilizing two 12-bit analog-to-digital converters we have achieved a dynamic range equivalent to commercial 16-bit converters. Currently available converters are limited to 1 GSPS sampling rate whereas our system supports 5 GSPS. This, therefore, corresponds to a five times higher sampling rate than what is available today.​​

Firmware Packages​


Teledyne SP Devices offer both stand-alone firmware packages as well as firmware development kits:

  • FWATD is an optional stand-alone firmware package that provide extreme dynamic range through noise reduction. It provides four methods for noise reduction; DBS for stable trigger reference (baseline​) level, low-pass filter for noise suppression, threshold for detection of rare events, and real-time waveform averaging of repetitive signals for power enhancement.
  • FWPD provides pulse detection capabilities including tools for detecting sparse, non-repetitive pulses. It outputs either pulse metadata, raw pulse data captured within a detection window, or both. It also discards unwanted data in order to reduce the overall data rate.
  • The ADQ Development Kit is a tool for developing custom digitizer firmware. 
  • Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology enables direct data transfers between the digitizer and GPU or storage. This offers a significant advantage over conventional solutions, which place considerable stress on both the CPU and RAM of the host PC. With P2P, the CPU and RAM can be utilized for other tasks instead. Learn more about peer-to-peer here.
  • With LICPDRX, customers gain access to the DSP blocks utilized in PDRX. By utilizing two 12-bit analog-to-digital converters we have achieved a dynamic range equivalent to commercial 16-bit converters. This optional paid license enables PDRX as an add-on to existing firmware options (FWDAQ, FWPD, etc.) for selected dual-channel digitizers.
