Introduction 1

1 Introduction

The ADLINK PCIe-9842 is 200MS/s 14-bit 1-CH digitizer designed

for applications such as LIDAR tests, optical fiber tests and radar

signal acquisition. The 100MHz bandwidth analog input is

designed to receive ±1V high speed signal with 50Ω impedance.

With this simplified front-end design and high stable onboard refer-

ence, PCIe-9842 provides not only high accuracy measurement

results but also delivers high dynamic performance.

For applications that require data to be acquired and transferred in

real-time, PCIe-9842 is designed on the PCI Express x4 bus as

the interface. When signal is converted from analog to digital data,

data will be transferred to host system memory continuously due

to PCI Express high bandwidth features.

The auto-calibration function of the PCIe-9842 is performed with

onboard reference circuit that calibrates the offset and gain errors

of analog input. Once the auto-calibration procedure is done, the

calibration constant will be stored in EEPROM such that these val-

ues can be loaded and used as needed by the board. Because all

the calibration is conducted automatically by software commands,

users don’t have to calibrate the module manually.
