The ATX7006 is an advanced instrument for testing A/D and D/A converters. Compared to other solutions it features higher accuracy, faster sampling, larger memory arrays and a Windows-XP™ based controller unit. The ATX7006 is suitable for testing converters up to 16-bit and more. It has a very versatile digital I/O, while the Single Reference Architecture improves the stability and reduces calibration effort. Utilizing the latest advances in analog components and devoting the best of our 15 years experience in mixed signal testing has resulted in unsurpassed analog specifications.
The ATX7006 can operate stand-alone or as add-on for ATE systems. It measures linearity parameters just as easy as dynamic parameters, all within the same test set-up. The integral software provides a powerful tool for characterization, failure analysis, and production testing of ADCs, DACs and other analog functions. A scripting language allows adding user defined test- and analysis routines to the software. For lab environments a LabVIEW™ driver is included.
The standard 20-bit Generator and Digitizer modules offer an outstanding DC accuracy in combination with better than 100dB dynamic performance at sample rates up to 2Msps. The 24-bit Audio modules offer better than 120dB SFDR, while the high speed modules allow testing up to 400Msps. The ATX7006 basic system features Auto calibration, Low Noise Power Supplies and thorough Shielding and Grounding to maintain analog signal integrity even in a harsh production environment.
