Digital Storage Scope
Digitizing oscilloscope inputs capture very wide bandwidths of information and therefore require very high-speed ADCs for digitization, amplification, and processing. Often times, analysis of DC components is also preformed. DACs convert these processed signals for display. Clock sources that maintain converter accuracy and are synchronized between devices are also required. Analog Devices has all the key components for your next generation design.
