Data-capture and processing board with 2-GHz sampling rate

Pentek Inc. in Upper Saddle River, N.J., is offering the model 6826 VME A-D converter board with single- or dual-channel data acquisition at 2 million samples per second with 10-bit bit resolution. The board uses the Atmel AT84AS008 A-D converter device and the Xilinx XC2VP100 Virtex-II Pro field programmable gate array (FPGA), and accepts single-ended or differential inputs to preserve signal integrity across many kinds of analog signal sources. The board is for applications in wideband signal analysis, wideband radar processing, and wideband communications processing. The FPGA has a density equivalent of more than 11 million system gates and performs signal processing for the stream of data flowing from the A-D converters.
