VTR8014-100 Joerger Enterprises 8-Channel Analog Digitizer with Oscilloscope Characteristics

The Joerger Enterprises VTR8014 8-Channel Analog Digitizer with Oscilloscope Characteristics is manufactured with 1, 2, 4 or 8 individual, 80 MHz analog digitizers with a resolution of 14 bits plus signal averaging for improved SNR in a 6U, VME module. In addition to waveform recording the input has the same features as an oscilloscope, 10 mW input impedance, full scale offset and single ended or differential inputs. This provides the ability to record a single shot event with high speed and resolution and read it out quickly. This simplifies system analysis and trouble shooting. High resolution and accuracy have been attained with the use of ADC's designed to run at 80 MHz with 14 bit resolution. To further improve performance the input signals can be averaged to improve signal to noise response. From 2 to 128 input samples can be selected for averaging and the results stored in memory. Each channel is completely self contained and can store up to 256k samples per channel in SRAM, 2M total in a single width module. The latest ADC's, amplifiers, memory and the use of high speed programmable logic devices make all these features possible. While many high speed modules require a great deal of power, the VTR8014 uses only 18 watts while running at 80 MHz. This is often an important consideration when many of these may be used in a single crate. The ADC uses a pipeline converter with the delay handled internally and is invisible to the user.
