GIG ADC Reference Boards & Design Tools

National's Ultra High-Speed ADC Reference Boards are designed to help ease the evaluation and design-in of National's Ultra High-Speed A/D Converters. The suffix "DEV" stands for "Development System" and the suffix "RB" stands for "Reference Board". Although the naming convention is different, both boards serve the same purpose.

The Ultra High Speed A/D converter reference boards are self-contained and operate with proprietary WaveVision software to set the operating parameters of the converter, then capture and analyze the data from the converter. The reference board includes an on-board power supply, sampling clock, and data capture so that the only external equipment required is the analog input source.

In order to facilitate development of system design, the schematics, layout, WaveVision software and IBIS Models are made available. The FPGA code can also be made available as-is for custom development under NDA.
