The 64-Channel Isolated Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) Board utilises 16 separate digitally isolated analog to digital converter channels, each with a sample rate of 250 kSps.

Each of these channels can be multiplexed four ways to provide a maximum of 64 channels at a reduced data rate. A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and a PCI to PCIe bridge is used to provide access to the digital data over the PCIe interface.

Input channel to system isolation is 2 500 V RMS.

Architecture

A FPGA is used to control and read the data from the analog to digital converters and transmit the data over the PCIe interface. High-speed digital isolators are used to isolate the system side bus from the analog inputs. Multiplexers are used to increase the total number of differential inputs.
