High-speed data acquisition from Teledyne for advanced applications
The ADQ35 is engineered for use in areas such as swept source optical coherence tomography (SS OCT), time of flight mass spectrometry, distributed fibre-optic sensing, LiDAR, scientific instrumentation, and automated test equipment. These applications require digitisers capable of capturing and processing large volumes of data with high fidelity and minimal latency. To meet these requirements, the ADQ35 delivers multi GSPS performance, efficient real-time processing, and high-speed data transfer — often positioned close to the detector to maintain signal integrity in compact or noise sensitive environments.
The ADQ35 provides dual‐channel sampling at 5 GSPS or single‐channel operation at 10 GSPS, all with 12‐bit vertical resolution. Its DC‐coupled analog front end supports up to 2.5 GHz of input bandwidth with a 0.5 Vpp input range, and the 8 Gbyte onboard memory enables extended data capture. For high‐throughput applications, peer‐to‐peer streaming to GPUs reaches up to 14 Gbyte/s, supporting real‐time data transfer.
The ADQ35 supports a range of application‐specific firmware packages, including standard data acquisition, waveform averaging, pulse detection, and SS‐OCT signal conditioning. For users requiring custom real‐time digital signal processing, the open AMD Kintex Ultrascale KU115 FPGA offers extensive resources for implementing tailored DSP directly on the digitiser. This reduces the need for post‐processing and enables real‐time decision‐making — an advantage for OEMs and researchers developing specialised solutions.
Teledyne SP Devices provides hardware and software tools that simplify OEM integration, accelerate development, and reduce overall system cost. ADQ35 is available with extended warranty options and integrates seamlessly with Digitiser Studio software for configuration and control.
