The DynamicSignals PDA1000 1 GHz Waveform Digitizer is the state of the art in ultra high-speed
waveform capturing systems. It features an analog bandwidth
of DC to 500 MHz and digitization rates of up to 1 GHz. It
employs an extraordinary memory depth of 256 megasamples
for capturing extremely long events. The entire memory may
be used as a giant FIFO for acquiring data directly to either
the SAB or PCI bus.
The PDA1000 is a 64-bit PCI compatible board equipped with
standard 'Plug and Play' features common in PCI systems. It is
capable of Bus Master DMA data transfers at a sustained rate of
250 megabytes/second. It can also operate in 32-bit PCI slots in
which case the transfer rate will be limited to about 120
megabytes per second.
The PDA1000 incorporates the advanced DynamicSignals Auxiliary
Bus (SAB) that allows for data transfers of up to 500
megabytes/second. This allows for the high-speed transfer of
data to fast processor boards, such as DynamicSignals 's PMP8A, or
other peripherals. The SAB also incorporates device control
features for operating the PDA1000 independent of the host
bus.
The PDA1000 is equipped with an interconnect port to allow
multiple boards to be interconnected in a Master/Slave
configuration. Up to three Slave boards may be operated with
one Master. Master/Slave connections are via a ribbon cable
that connects at the top of the board. In this configuration the
clock and trigger signals from the Master drive the Slave
boards so that data sampling on all boards occurs
simultaneously.
The PDA1000 has six software selectable signal amplitude
ranges from a maximum of 3.2 volts down to 200 millivolts
full scale. Extreme care was taken in the design of the front-end
analog circuitry to minimize noise and distortion.
External clock and trigger signals are provided via SMA
connectors on the back bracket. Also provided is a user
selectable digital output signal for synchronization purposes.
Effectively, eleven internal clock frequencies may be selected
from 1.0 GHz down to 977 kHz in factors of 2.
The PDA1000 supports single shot, segmented, and pretrigger
triggering modes with delayed triggering or pretrigger
samples.
The PDA1000 DynamicSignals 1 GHz Waveform Digitizer may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
