Data Acquisition Solutions Contents Since being established in 1970, the DATEL Data Acquisition product offering has grown to become one of the industry’s broadest, designed to meet the ever-changing requirements of military, HI-REL, medical, scientific and industrial applications. Today, our leadership status in high-performance data acquisition components is unchallenged, driven in large part by our engineering expertise to develop solutions with outstanding electrical performance, small packaging, low power consumption and ease of use. These products employ five basic technologies:...

CCD Signal Processor/Imaging Converters The ADCDS family are application-specific video signal processors designed for electronic-­imaging applications that employ CCDs (Charge Coupled Devices) as their photo­detector. They incorporate a “user configurable” input amplifier, a CDS (correlated double sampler) and a sampling A/D converter in a single package. Functionally complete, these imaging converters provide the user with a high-performance, low-cost, low-power integrated solution. The key to the ADCDS family’s performance is a unique, highspeed, high-accuracy CDS circuit, which...

A/D Converters (stand-alone) The stand-alone A/D Converters include 7 & 8-bit resolution Flash A/Ds – and then some industry standard pin-out legacy A/D converters. Both A/D converter families offer commercial 0 to +70°C and extended -55 to +125°C temperature range versions. The Flash family of A/D converters have wide-bandwidth inputs that often digitize the input pulse and/or steady-state signal directly. The legacy A/Ds without internal sample-holds often use external sample-hold devices or are part of a larger multi-channel data acquisition system, handling multiple channels with...

Sample-Hold Amplifiers Sample-Hold Amplifiers shorten the aperture time for A/D converters by rapidly sampling the input signal and then holding its value until the conversion is completed. Many A/D converters now include the sample-hold with the A/D converter in a single package (appropriately named Accuracy Acquisition Time Aperture Delay Input Range Small Signal Bandwidth Hold Mode Droop Power Supplies Temperature Power (%) µsec nsec ±Volts MHz µV/µsec Volts °C Watts 0.1 40 3 2.5 25 20 ±15 0 to +70 sampling A/Ds). There are still many pulse, wide-bandwidth and multi-channel applications...

Data Acquisition Systems Functionally complete Data Acquisition Systems can combine an input multiplexer, instrumentation amplifier, sample-hold, A/D converter and various interface logic in a single package device. In addition to the size reduction realized, users receive functionally complete tested and guaranteed devices. Should high-reliability screening or qualification be required, economy is realized by only performing these quality assurance steps on a single device. Resolution Bits Input Channels Differential Linearity Error Integral Linearity Error Throughput Rate Full-Scale Input...
