M9710A

AXIe high-speed digitizer/DAQ 4 channels, 10-bit, up to 10 GS/s, DC up to 2.5 GHz bandwidth

Introduction

The M9710A is a 10-bit AXIe high-speed digitizer providing four synchronous channels and a sampling rate up to 10 GS/s across a wide 2.5 GHz bandwidth, making it ideal for multichannel applications in advanced physics experiments, and aerospace & defense.

Product Description

The M9710A is a single-slot 10-bit high-speed digitizer, capturing signals from DC up to 2.5 GHz at 5 GS/s or 10 GS/s. It provides excellent measurement accuracy and high dynamic range across four phase-coherent channels within a single card. Optimized response enables few hundred picoseconds pulse analysis. An interleaving option allows two 5 GS/s channels to be combined to acquire at 10 GS/s in 2-channel mode, keeping excellent measurement fidelity. The M9710A also provides up to 8 GB of DDR3 acquisition memory and real-time data processing capability with Xilinx FPGAs. The M9710A high-speed digitizer can also be combined with the Keysight PathWave VSA Software and Keysight U1092A Multichannel Acquisition Software for advanced multichannel signal analysis.

Hardware Overview

The M9710A is a modular AXIe 10-bit digitizer offering scalable features depending on application requirements. The standard configuration implements 4 synchronous channels of DC to 2.5 GHz instantaneous analog bandwidth (input frequency range), and acquiring data at 5 GS/s. An interleave option (-INT) also allows two channels to be combined and reach 10 GS/s in 2-channel acquisition mode.

Block Diagram

The M9710A incorporates exclusive proprietary integrated circuits developed by Keysight. In particular, it has a low noise and low distortion signal conditioning amplifier to drive interleaved ADCs, and specific clock distribution to minimize clock jitter and spurious signals. Moreover, optimized frequency response flatness provides enhanced measurement accuracy over a wide bandwidth.

Data Processing

The M9710A includes Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGAs dedicated to data processing. The two data processing units (DPU) implement full digitizer functionality firmware, allowing digitization of the signal, storage of the resulting data in the onboard memory, and transfer through the PCIe connection to the AXIe backplane bus.

Multichannel Data Acquisition Systems

The M9710A occupies a single slot of AXIe chassis. The architecture is modular and extensible, to provide a fully operational multichannel system in a compact format.

The examples below show some of the possible configurations:

• Two M9710A digitizers in the M9502A 2-slot AXIe chassis delivers an 8-channel 10-bit system

• Five M9710A digitizers in the M9505A 5-slot AXIe chassis delivers a 20-channel 10-bit system

• Thirteen M9710A digitizers in the M9514A 14-slot AXIe chassis delivers a 52-channel 10-bit system

Secure SCPI Over LAN Functionality

The M9710A can be used with the M9506A AXIe chassis, which has been designed for demanding modular applications. It provides 5 slots for AXIe instrument modules, up to 300 W per slot, and includes an embedded system module (ESM) that does not take up an instrument slot. The ESM provides Gen 3 x8/x16 PCIe® interfaces for connecting the chassis to an external controller or expanding the system using multiple chassis. To minimize rack space, the instrument module slots are arranged horizontally. The M9506A is the quietest AXIe chassis available with its new cooling design. The M9506A-BC1 option adds a closed, instrument-grade, Linux-based controller to the back of the chassis. This has been developed specifically for M9703B, M9709A and M9710A digitizers to enhance security for high channel count applications, bringing the ease of use of traditional benchtop together with the benefits of a modular platform. A simple LAN connection enables easy SCPI based control of many digitizer channels in a small space1.
