Analogic DBS902HV 14-Bit Waveform Digitizer Module

The Analogic DBS902HV is a 14-bit waveform digitizer module engineered for high-speed signal acquisition in VXI-based instrumentation systems. This daughterboard plugs into the Analogic DBS9900 VXI C-size Dual Instrument Carrier, enabling multiple modules to share a single chassis slot while maintaining coherent operation across the DBS9XX series for integrated signal analysis. The module delivers one differential input channel with 14-bit resolution and sampling rates to 80 MS/s across a 40 MHz bandwidth.

Six selectable input ranges span ±0.5 V through ±25 V, accommodating both low-level and high-voltage signals. Input impedance options include 50 Ω, 75 Ω, and 1 MΩ configurations. Overvoltage protection extends to ±30 VDC on high ranges and ±3 VDC on low ranges.

Dynamic performance is defined by spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) exceeding 75 dB typical at 10 MHz input with 80 MS/s sampling, and noise floor of 200 µV RMS maximum with 30 MHz bandwidth at 50 Ω. Integral non-linearity remains within ±3 LSB typical, with DC gain accuracy of ±1% over ±5 °C intervals. Common-mode rejection reaches >60 dB from DC to 20 kHz at ±0.5 V, while channel-to-channel crosstalk rejection exceeds 100 dB.
