Block diagram

Architecture

Four inputs feed a 14-bit ADC running at 80 to 320 MS/s depending on channel allocation. The FPGA acquisition engine buffers samples in DDR memory before the MCU streams them over USB-C 3.0 or gigabit Ethernet.

Specifications

Input ranges, acquisition modes and operating conditions.

Analog inputs: 4Common-ground BNC
ADC resolution: 14 bitHardware definition
Bandwidth: 20 / 60 MHzMode-dependent
Sample rate: Up to 320 MS/sSingle-channel

Acquisition modes

Higher-rate modes use ADC interleaving: CH1 + CH2 at 160 MS/s per channel, or CH1 at 320 MS/s.

Sample rate, analog bandwidth and streaming throughput are distinct specifications.
Active inputs	Real-time sample rate	Bandwidth / condition
4 channels · CH1–CH4	80 MS/s per channel	20 MHz bandwidth
2 channels · CH1 + CH2	160 MS/s per channel	60 MHz bandwidth; interleaved
1 channel · CH1	320 MS/s	60 MHz bandwidth; interleaved
