05 | Keysight | M9203A PXIe High-Speed Digitizer/Wideband Digital Receiver - Data Sheet Firmware Options The M9203A PXIe High-Speed Digitizer/Wideband Digital Receiver provides several firmware options: – DGT : Digitizer firmware – INT : Interleaved channel sampling functionality – FDK 1: Custom firmware capablility – TSR 2: Triggered simultaneous acquisition and readout – DDC : Wideband real-time digital down-conversion Easy firmware switch A simple call to the configuration function will enable to switch to the required option. DGT digitizer firmware The digitizer firmware: – Allows standard data acquisition, including: digitizer initialization, setting of the acquisition and clocking modes, management of channel triggering for best synchronization, storing data in the internal memory and/or transferring them through the backplane bus. – Implements multi-record acquisition functionality. – Supports fixed internal clocking frequency with internal or external reference, and variable frequency external clock. – Offers programmable binary decimation to lower the sample rate by a factor of 2 n where n is defined in the range 1 to 10 for single record. – Trigger time interpolator (TTI): high precision integrated time to digital converter can be used to increase time measure - ment accuracy. INT interleaved channel sampling functionality This interleave option allows two channels to be combined and to reach 3.2 GS/s in one channel acquisition mode. FDK custom firmware capability This option enables loading 4 custom firmware created with the U5340A FPGA development kit 5. 1. A calibration digitizer function is available with each firmware. 2. Only available with DGT option. 3. Please contact Keysight to find out the repetition rate that can be achieved in your application. 4. On the Virtex-6 LX195T DPU FPGA. 5. There are 11 W maximum power dedicated to FPGA processing, the custom firmware design must fit within this power provision. The triggered simultaneous acquisition and readout architecture allows to continuously acquire new records while reading previ - ous ones. TSR solution is dedicated to applications requiring no trigger loss, achieving longer recording time when compares with standard digitizer (-DGT). TSR option main features: – High trigger rate with guaranteed no lost trigger for specific configuration3. – Easy to use solution, implementing an optimal and automated control of memory addressing. – Selecting larger memory size option allows longer record size and provides larger buffer for data transfer to host PC, especially useful for applications with non-periodic trigger or very high trigger rate during a limited period. DDC real-time digital down-conversion The real-time digital down-conversion option (-DDC), in addition to the basic digitizer functionality, implements a real-time digital decimation and filtering on the digitized data, allowing the user to tune and zoom on the signals of interest. This exclusive IP algorithm provides very powerful and flexible digital down- conversion on 2 channels. The filters and local oscillators (LO) are synchronized to maintain constant phase and timing relationships allowing phase-coherent post processing. The DDC provides three main functions: – Frequency shifting (tune): Independently shifting each chan - nels IF signal into baseband, allows the analysis bandwidth to be set around the signal of interest. – Data reduction (zoom): Reducing the bandwidth and sample rate to match the analyzed signal decreases the amount of data that needs to be transferred for a given capture dura - tion, in turn accelerating post-processing operations. – Magnitude trigger: Setting the magnitude level that the down converted signal needs to achieve at a specified frequency and bandwidth to generate a digital trigger on all channels. These functions allow isolation of the signal of interest from other signals in a crowded spectrum, improved dynamic range as the integrated noise is reduced, and increased SNR and effective number of bits (ENOB). The resulting advantage for your application is a reduced test time, while improving overall test efficiency. TSR triggered simultaneous acquisition and readout
