PCI/PXI-9816/9826/9846
4-CH 16-Bit 10/20/40 MS/s Digitizers with 512 MB Memory
Introduction
The ADLINK PCI/PXI-9816/9826/9846 are 10 MS/s, 20 MS/s, 40 MS/s sampling 16-bit 4-CH digitizers designed for
digitizing high frequency and wide dynamic range signals with an input frequency up to 20 MHz. The analog input range
can be programmed via software to ±1 V / ±0.2 V or ±5 V / ±1 V, based on the model. With a deep onboard acquisition
memory up to 512 MB, the PXI/PCI-9816/9826/9846 are not limited by the data transfer rate of the PCI bus to enable
the recording of waveforms for extended periods of time.
The PXI/PCI-9816/9826/9846 are equipped with four high linearity 16-bit A/D converters ideal for demanding applications
with a high dynamic range such as radar, ultrasound, and software-defined radio.

Typical values are measured using 1 MHz sine wave input at 10 MS/s with amplitude at -1dB
at full scale on a ±1 V and ±0.2 V range using the PXI-9816. Acquired data lengths are in
64 K point, calculated with Hanning window FFT.
Note that these dynamic parameters may vary from one module to another, with different
input signal frequencies and signal amplitudes selected.
