  • Automatic offset calibration
  • Selectable single-ended or differential inputs
  • Synchronisation to multi-board system possible
  • 32 Bit CompactPCI 6U interface
  • Compatible with 3,3V and 5V PCI I/O-Voltage


MC.45xx Family

The MC.45xx for the first time offers full 16 bit resolution synchronously on all channels at very high sampling rates. Every channel has its own amplifier and A/D converter. This eliminates the problems known from multiplexed systems like phase error between the channels or high crosstalk. Every input channel could be offset calibrated using the software. The user will find easily a matching solution from the six offered models. These versions are working with sampling rates of 200 kS/s, 500 kS/s or 1 MS/s. The boards have two or four channels and could also be updated to a multichannel system using the internal synchronization bus.
