Description
FMC High-Speed Data
Acquisition Board
Demonstration circuit 1371, along with PScope™ software,
provides a USB based, Windows PC hosted digital data
acquisition system supporting high speed data converter
products from Linear Technology. The DC1371 must be
powered with the 5V power supply that is supplied with
the demo board. The PScope evaluation software auto-
matically detects the DC1371 and the demonstration cir-
cuit board connected to it. This system provides for fast
and easy performance evaluation of high speed ADCs.
DC1371 collects samples from high speed demonstra-
tion circuits and the PScope software performs various
analyses on the data including calculating SNR, SINAD,
THD, SFDR and ENOB. The digitized input, an FFT of the

collected data, the primitive wave of the sample set or an
IFFT of modified frequency domain data is plotted to a
display window to facilitate analyzing noise and distortion
products and their sources. Figure 1 shows a picture of
the DC1371. The DC1371 is connected to the ADC dem-
onstration circuit via a 400 pin FMC connector and to the
PC by a mini-USB cable.
