Size not such an issue with single-slot PCIe digitiser

Agilent Technologies has introduced an eight-channel version of its U5309A 8-bit single slot PCIe Gen 2 digitiser with on-board processing, providing unprecedented channel density and minimum footprint at this level of performance. Until now, users requiring an eight-channel data acquisition system had to order a three-slot cPCI chassis, including two digitiser modules and an interface card to the computer.

The single-slot, eight-channel U5309A PCIe digitiser has advantages in cost, reliability and performance—as well as the tremendous size reduction into a single slot card. The installation is as simple as a direct plug into the computer PCIe slot, immediately providing eight channels of simultaneous acquisition.

The eight channels at 1GS/s version increases the offering of the digitiser product recently launched with its two-channel version.

Channels can be interleaved to reach a 2 GS/s sampling rate. Applications will also benefit from the high data throughput provided by the Gen2 eight-lane PCIe bus and the possibility to implement real-time signal processing algorithms into the on-board FPGA.

Custom processing for the PCIe digitiser family is created using the U5340A FPGA development kit.
