Co-developed digitizers generate 12.5-GS/s rates

摘要

Two new Nl PXIe 3U digitizers feature Tektronix® Enabling Technology: the PXIe-5186 delivers 5-GHz bandwidth and the PXIe-5185 3-GHz bandwidth, both with 12.5-GS/s sample rates. They provide a 500-fs rms integrated jitter resulting in a 5.5 ENOB at 5 GHz. The digitizers also stream at rates as fast as 700 MB/s and synchronize channels on multiple modules to within160-ps resolution. The digitizers work with Nl LabVIEW software for instrument control and automation, the Nl LabWindows/CVI ANSI C software development environment, and Microsoft Visual Studio .
