# Introduction

The ADLINK PCI-9816H is a 10 MS/s sampling, 16-bit, 4-ch digitizer designed for digitizing high frequency and wide dynamic range signals with an input frequency up to 5 MHz. The analog input range can be programmed via software to ±5 V / ±1 V. With a deep onboard acquisition memory up to 512 MB, the PCI-9816H is not limited by the data transfer rate of the PCI bus to enable the recording of waveforms for extended periods of time.

The PCI-9816H is equipped with four high linearity 16-bit A/D converters ideal for demanding applications with a high dynamic range such as radar, ultrasound, and software-defined radio.
