Agilent/Keysight 0180-3840

The Agilent/Keysight 0180-3840 is a high-speed digitizer component designed for signal acquisition and real-time processing in demanding measurement applications. This PCIe-integrated digitizer delivers 10-bit resolution with bandwidth to 2.5 GHz and sampling rates up to 10 GS/s, supporting both single-channel and dual-channel interleaved acquisition modes. The device combines analog-to-digital conversion with FPGA-based signal processing to enable precise capture and analysis of high-frequency waveforms across a 250 mV full-scale range.

Engineered for embedded OEM systems, advanced imaging platforms, and high-speed signal processing, the 0180-3840 offers flexible clocking architecture with internal and external reference support. Programmable decimation by factors of 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 reduces effective sample rates from 2.5 GS/s down to 156.25 MS/s, accommodating diverse signal bandwidths. Frequency equalization modes—smooth roll-off for minimal overshoot and sharp roll-off for optimized flatness—adapt the frequency response to specific measurement requirements. Multi-record acquisition and internal memory buffering enable continuous data capture with backplane bus transfer.
