Signatec Unveils PX14400, Its High-Speed PCI-Express Digitizer Capable of Sustained Recordings Over 1.2 GB/s with Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGAs for Embedded Real-Time ...( Signatec Inc...)

Signatec Inc. today announced the PX14400 high-speed digitizer, the industry's most advanced wideband and high dynamic range A/D board. The PX14400 captures signal frequencies up to 200 MHz, when using the programmable gain amplifier in 1 dB steps for maximum gain attenuation flexibility, or up to 400 MHz, if the direct transformer coupled connection is employed for the cleanest possible signal path to the ADC. 1 GB of on-board memory configured as a large FIFO and a PCIe x8 bus ensures Signatec's PX14400 can continuously sustain long recordings at over 1.2 GB/s through the PCIe x8 bus to PC disk storage without any break in the analog record.

Newport Beach, California (PRWEB) September 14, 2009 - Signatec Inc. today announced the PX14400 high-speed digitizer, the industry's most advanced wideband and high dynamic range A/D board.

Of the two embedded Virtex®-5 FPGAs, one is expressly available for custom in-line signal processing. As a Xilinx Alliance Program partner, Signatec created standardized data and control interfaces that are customer accessible along with VHDL source code examples that demonstrate the use of these interfaces to simplify real-time processing tasks through its optional firmware development k
