Introduction

Overview

Depending on the selected option, the U5309A signal acquisition card offers one, two, four or eight 8-

bits channels, with an analog bandwidth of DC to 500 MHz. Featuring a large DDR3 memory for long

acquisition time, the U5309A also includes a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA allowing implementation of custom

real-time processing algorithms.

Benefiting from the very high data transfer rates of the PCIe 2.0 eight-lane interface, and occupying a

single slot in a host PC, the U5309A offers high performance in a small footprint, making it an ideal

platform for many commercial, industrial and aerospace & defense embedded systems.

Typical Applications

Pulsed Radar

Analytical time-of-flight

LASER ranging / Emission monitoring

Ultrasonic imaging

Key Features

Sampling rate up to 2 GS/s

2 channels or 8 channels with 8-bit resolution and DC to 500 MHz analog bandwidth

Up to 2 GB of DDR3 on-board memory

Controlled by a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA with support for custom real-time processing

Note: It is recommended to first connect the SSMC end of the input cable and tighten using

thetorque wrench (U1092A-WCK) before connecting the SMA end, this minimizes strain on the

connector. A 1 m SSMC to SMA cable is available as an accessory (U1092A-CB3) A 1 m SSMC

to BNC cable is also available (U5300A-100).

Impedance & Coupling

The input channel termination is 50Ω. The input coupling is DC.

1.2 Channel Input Specifications

10 U5309A User's Manual

Input Protection

The input amplifiers are designed to accept signals below the absolute maximum level shown in the

table.

Mezzanine Front-end

The front-end electronics are all mounted on a removable mezzanine card. In the event of accidental

damage or as components fatigue over time (e.g. relays in high duty cycle automated testing

applications), the mezzanine card allows for fast and efficient replacement.

Bandwidth and Rise Time

The bandwidth specification indicates the frequency at which an input signal will be attenuated by 3dB

(approximately 30% loss of amplitude).

The bandwidth also has an impact on the minimum rise and fall times that can be passed through the

front-end electronics. A pulse with a very sharp edge will be observed to have a minimum rise timeTmin

determined by the front-end electronics. In general a pulse with a given 10-90% rise time T10-90real will

be observed with a lower value given by:

T10-902=T10-90real2+Tmin2

where Tmin(ns)≈0.35/BW(GHz)

Vertical Resolution

The U5309A ADC Card uses a 8-bit ADC giving 256 levels at each input full scale range.
