1.2 Channel input specifications
This section provides information and specifications regarding the input characteristics of the ADC
card.
The U5303A provides two 12-bit DC-coupled channels at the sampling rate of:
- 500 MS/s (-SR0)
- 1 GS/s (-SR1)
- 1.6 GS/s (-SR2)
- 2 GS/s (-SR3).
For U5303A with INT option, the two channels may be combined to form an interleaved channel at:
- 1 GS/s (-SR0)
- 2 GS/s (-SR1)
- 3.2 GS/s (-SR2)
- 4 GS/s (-SR3).
