Keysight/Agilent E1438A VXI Digitizer
The Keysight E1438A 100 MSa/s digitizer works with DSP and memory. The unit operates across a 0 to 40 MHz input bandwidth with stable dynamic measurement performance. The architecture delivers a -90 dBFS spurious-free dynamic range during acquisition environments. The integrated anti-alias filtering protects sampled data from unwanted spectral components during continuous measurements.
The digital decimation filters provide tunable center frequency adjustment for precise signal extraction requirements. The processing chain maintains reliable frequency selectivity across complex waveform monitoring and recording operations. The Keysight E1438A digitizer includes 18 MB FIFO acquisition memory. The expandable memory allows architecture configurations reaching 1.2 GB for extended waveform capture durations. High-speed memory buffering improves uninterrupted acquisition performance during continuous monitoring and transient recording procedures.
The Keysight E1438A's integrated DSP engine accelerates filtering operations without external processing hardware requirements. The unit supports 2.5 Gigabit FPDP data transfer capability. Local bus connectivity enables efficient communication with compatible instrumentation systems and integrated processing environments. The VXI-bus output functionality simplifies synchronized operation across multiple acquisition modules during testing procedures. Multi-channel compatibility supports scalable installations requiring coordinated waveform acquisition from distributed measurement platforms.
The single-slot C-size module design conserves chassis space within dense automated instrumentation environments. Signal flatness remains within +/-1.0 dB below 40 MHz with filtering enabled. The attenuation of the filter is typically about -18 dB at 100 MHz while operating. The temperature drift performance is less than ± 0.1 mV/°C when operating.
The input bias current of the Keysight E1438A digitizer is less than 50 microamperes. External sample clock input enables synchronized acquisition in interconnected instrumentation and timing reference environments.
The reference output provides stable 10 MHz timing synchronization to support integrated instrumentation timing and calibration needs. AC-coupled architecture and 1-kilo-ohm impedance characteristics are used for BNC comparator input. Edge-sensitive operation is possible via AC-coupled interfaces for synchronized acquisition procedures using the ECL triggering. The SMB connector is compatible with ECL 10K for reliable synchronization between compatible instrumentation installations.
The E1438A's VXI backplane ECLTRG line support provides better coordinated triggering in distributed measurement and acquisition applications. The SMB synchronization interface provides +8 dBm signal levels to ensure stable external clock integration for SMB.
