Agilent Acqiris High-Speed Digitizers
Compliance, Reliability and Accuracy
The proprietary ASICS in Agilent Acqiris high-speed
digitizers are designed for the specific purpose of optimiz-
ing high-speed ADC performance. The analog front-end
technology provides signal conditioning, amplification, and
interleaving functions essential for achieving high-speed
data acquisition at GS/s rates. The digital data handling
components provide vital clock and synchronization signals
to capture and memorize acquired data with maximum data
throughput. Together these ASICS make low-power, high-
fidelity data acquisition much more accessible and provide
maximum data throughput to the host PC or processor to
reduce the time and cost of measurement.
The Acqiris product line provides a range of high-speed
digitizer cards with 8-, 10-, and 12-bit resolution, wide
bandwidth, and large acquisition memory. These products,
in PCI, PCIe, PXI, cPCI, and VME formats, are used in
research, and in ATE and OEM applications in industries
such as biotechnology, semiconductors, aerospace, phys-
ics, and astronomy.
As it is designed for OEM use, embedded in equipment that
may well fall under RoHS compliance, the U1084A product
uses only lead free components and non-toxic methods, to
be fully RoHS compliant.
Using Agilent technology and know-how the component
count on U1084A is kept to a minimum, increasing the
operational reliability of the card, and maximizing analog
and digital performance.
Analog performance of the U1084A is such that maximum
measurement accuracy performance is obtained over the
full bandwidth of the analog front end. Lower noise and
more effective bits mean less repeated measurements,
reducing measurement time and lowering cost per mea-
surement.
High-Speed Digitizers with Real-Time Analysis
Embedding Extreme Data Acquisition into
your System
The Agilent U1084A Acqiris high-speed data acquisition
card allows you to leverage the performance of our lead-
ing edge technology and know-how to meet your most
demanding requirements.
By integrating our proprietary technology into a standard
PCIe card format, we help you reduce the risk associated
with new product development, providing a state-of-the-
art digitizer front-end that is easily integrated into more
complex systems. This principle of using standardized, off-
the-shelf, data conversion and signal processing platforms
ensures cost-effectiveness, system longevity, and system
flexibility, at low risk. Agilent high-speed digitizer products
provide consistent quality and reliability you can depend
upon.
The Agilent U1084A Acqiris high-speed digitizer is a dual-
channel, 8-bit PCIe digitizer card with an on-board, high-
speed, field programmable gate array (FPGA) component
that is used for real-time data processing tasks. Featuring
4 GS/s sampling rates, the digitizer provides on-board
real-time signal processing firmware for on-the-fly signal
averaging.
Four firmware options allow the digitizer card to perform
specific post-processing tasks which are easily uploaded
into the FPGA under program control. The firmware
options redefine the way in which data acquisition can be
performed, allowing extremely flexible and easy reconfigu-
ration for optimum data analysis.
Using the PCI EXPRESS^® (PCIe^®) bus maximizes the data
throughput. Implemented in the base product as a 4-lane
PCIe 1.1 card, the U1084A products provide data throughput
at up to 520 MB/s.
