# Introduction

The ADLINK PCIe-9834P is a PCI Express digitizer providing speedy, high quality data acquisition. Each of the four input channels supports up to an 80MS/s sampling rate, with a 16-bit resolution A/D converter. This allows simultaneous recording of signals on all channels with no interchannel phase delay. The extremely large onboard memory enables long recording times even at the highest sampling rate.

Unlike parallel PCI buses, PCI Express slots utilize serial point-topoint connection. Each connection pair (lane) can achieve burst connection speeds of 250MB/s. The PCIe-9834P, based on x4 lane slot PCI Express technology, provides a clear advantage in that direct connection of each slot allows full transfer bandwidth for each individual card. The ADLINK PCIe-9834P digitizer can be used in any standard PCI Express slot, x4, x8, or x16.
