ADLINK PXIe-9852 2-channel 14 bit, up to 200 MS/s synchronous sampling PXIe high-speed digitizer

​Product Overview and Core Features

Analog acquisition: 2-channel single ended synchronous 14 bit ADC; The maximum sampling rate is 200 MS/s, and the frequency can be divided as low as about 3.05 kS/s; Analog input -3dB bandwidth of 90 MHz.

Simulation front-end: software AC/DC coupling; AC coupling -3dB cut-off frequency of 11 Hz; impedance software switching of 50 Ω/1 M Ω; three range: ± 0.2 V, ± 2 V, ± 10 V.

Important warning: When using ± 10V range under 50 Ω impedance, the effective value of the input sine signal should not exceed 7 Vrms, otherwise the hardware will be damaged; 1   M Ω impedance can withstand ± 10   V overvoltage.

Unique hardware function: Hardware data averaging mode, which performs waveform averaging point by point after multiple data acquisition triggers, can improve equivalent measurement resolution, and supports 16/32-bit output.

Onboard storage and bus: 1 GB onboard memory; PCIe Gen2 x4； Support Scatter Gather DMA; The maximum single transmission capacity in non clustered mode is 8 MB. Enabling clustered mode is not limited by continuous memory and supports ring multi buffering.

Clock system: Internal synthesizer 200 MHz clock; Support external sampling clock on the front panel and external reference of 10 MHz; Supports backplane PXI_CLK10 and PXIe_CLK100 for multi module synchronization.

Trigger interface enhancement: In addition to the external digital trigger input TRG IN, an additional TRG OUT trigger output SMA interface is provided. The output pulse width is software programmable (50 ns~10 μ s) and can drive a 50 Ω load.

Automatic calibration: onboard+2.5   V,+5   V high-precision reference sources, no need for external instrument self calibration; EEPROM stores two sets of calibration coefficients.

The dynamic indicators (SNR, THD, SFDR) vary with range and impedance, and the signal-to-noise ratio of some ranges is slightly lower in 50 Ω mode than in high impedance mode.

Time based clock

Internal crystal oscillator accuracy<± 25 ppm;

External reference clock: 10 MHz, input amplitude 500 mVpp~5 Vpp;

External sampling clock: 40 MHz to 200 MHz, input amplitude 1 Vpp to 5 Vpp;

PXI backplane PXI_CLK10 and PXIe_CLK100 can be used as references;

By using a 16 bit ScanIntrv scanning interval counter to divide the 200 MHz main clock, a lower sampling rate can be obtained.

Trigger the system

Trigger source: software trigger, external digital trigger (TRG IN), CHO/CH1 analog trigger, PXI_STAR, PXIe-DSTARB differential star trigger PXI Trigger Bus [0‑7]。

External digital input TRG IN: 3.3V TTL, 5V withstand voltage; VIL=0.8V，VIH=2.0V； The minimum pulse width is 20 ns; the rising/falling edge is optional.

Digital trigger output TRG OUT: 5V TTL level; The pulse width software can be selected from 50 ns, 100 ns, 150 ns, 200 ns, 500 ns, 1 μ s, 2 μ s, 7.5 μ s, and 10 μ s; Can directly drive a 50 Ω load.

Simulated trigger: CHO/CH1 optional, trigger level software setting, supports positive/negative slope.

Trigger export: The module can act as a Master to output triggers to the PXI Trigger Bus and synchronize with other slave cards.

All trigger working mode

Post Trigger: Collect data after triggering;

Pre Trigger: Save the sampling points before triggering;

Middle Trigger: Independently configure the number of sampling points before and after triggering;

Delayed Trigger: After receiving the trigger, wait for a delay before starting the collection;

Re Trigger: Only supports post trigger and delayed trigger; Hardware automatically captures waveforms multiple times; There is a minimum time interval for triggering again;

Data Average Hardware Average Mode: Only post trigger/delayed trigger available; Repeatedly trigger the waveform and calculate the hardware average point by point; Output 16 bit or 32-bit signed integers; Formula: To increase the resolution of n bits, the number of re triggering times is required (R=4 ^ n); Require the tested signal to have stable period and amplitude.

Hardware installation

Electrostatic sensitive devices; Prohibit hot plugging and unplugging; Disassembly and assembly must be completely powered off, and anti-static wristbands and pads must be worn.

Turn off the power supply of the PXI chassis and keep the power cord connected for grounding and anti-static purposes;

Align the module with the slot rail of the chassis and push it in. Tighten the pop-up handle and hear a click. Tighten the panel fixing screws;

Power on and install the WD-DASK driver recognition hardware.

Multi module synchronous SSI mechanism

The dual channel clock within a single module triggers natural synchronization.

Clock synchronization: All modules share the same reference clock source: PXI_CLK10/PXIe_CLK100/external 10 MHz reference.

Trigger synchronization

Single Master Multi Slave Architecture; Master outputs SSI_TRIG1 to a certain PXI Trigger Bus; Slave triggers the source selection corresponding to the bus.

If the Pre Trigger/Middle Trigger mode is used from the module: output the pre_data.rady ready signal from the module to other idle PXI trigger buses; The Master only outputs the trigger after receiving all the ready signals from the slave modules to ensure synchronization.

Appendix A Calibration Mechanism

EEPROM is divided into 2 storage banks

Bank0 (factory area, write protected): Factory calibration parameters will not be overwritten by self calibration; By default, Bank0 is loaded upon startup.

Bank1 (User Area): Save user Auto Calibration automatic calibration results; The software can be set to load Bank1 by default upon startup and permanently write to EEPROM.

Auto Calibration Automatic Calibration

Use onboard+2.5V/+5V internal reference source without the need for external instruments; Compensation gain and offset drift with temperature and time;

Operation suggestion: Preheat for at least 20 minutes when powered on, disconnect the external input cable and perform calibration again;

The driver automatically compensates for calibration delay internally, and the user program does not require additional processing.
