## Teledyne ADQ35 Digitizer: High-Speed Data Acquisition for Advanced Applications

Teledyne SP Devices' ADQ35 model is a high-speed data acquisition solution designed to deliver superior performance in demanding scientific and industrial applications. As part of the 12-bit ADQ3 series, this digitizer offers a powerful combination of speed, resolution, and flexibility.

The ADQ35 has been developed for use in areas such as optical coherence tomography (SS OCT), time-of-flight mass spectrometry, distributed fiber optic sensing, LiDAR, scientific instrumentation, and automated test equipment. These applications require high data volume and the need for low-latency, high-accuracy data capture. The ADQ35 meets these requirements with multi-GSPS performance, efficient real-time processing, and high-speed data transfer capabilities; it is often positioned close to detectors to maintain signal integrity.

### ADQ35 Technological and Performance Features

• 5 GSPS sampling rate in dual-channel mode, and 10 GSPS in single-channel mode
• 12-bit vertical resolution
• DC-coupled analog front-end, input bandwidth up to 2.5 GHz
• 0.5 Vpp input range
• 8 Gbyte internal memory for long-duration data capture
• Real-time data transfer up to 14 Gbyte/s to GPU with peer-to-peer streaming
• Programmable DC offset
• Flexible system integration with PCIe and USB 3.2 form factor options

### Firmware and FPGA Options

The ADQ35 supports application-specific firmware packages such as data acquisition, waveform averaging, pulse detection, and SS-OCT signal conditioning. For users requiring customized real-time digital signal processing, the open AMD Kintex Ultrascale KU115 FPGA allows for the development of custom DSP applications directly on the digitizer. This reduces the need for post-processing and enables real-time decision-making.

### OEM Integration and Product Variants

Teledyne SP Devices offers advanced hardware and software tools that facilitate OEM integration. The ADQ35 provides configuration and control via the Digitizer Studio software, with extended warranty options. The ADQ35 forms a reliable and high-performance foundation for the development of new scientific instruments or the upgrade of existing platforms.

The Teledyne ADQ35, with its flexible firmware structure, open FPGA architecture, and industry-leading data streaming, enables users to build faster, more accurate, and more efficient systems.
