  • 100 mV to 5 V input ranges
  • 50 Ω input impedance
Data Sheet

The NI PCI-5153 high-speed digitizer features 500 MHz analog bandwidth and an up to 2 GS/s real-time sample rate (20 GS/s equivalent-time sample rate for repetitive signals), making it ideal for the acquisition and characterization of fast, nanosecond-edge speeds. The digitizer also comes equipped with up to 256 MB of memory per channel to provide high sustained sample rates over extended data capture windows.

The PCI-5153 is well-suited for automated test and data streaming applications in the consumer electronics, semiconductor, aerospace/defense, and life sciences industries.

A digitizer optimized for automated test leverages a high-throughput bus to lower test times, provides picosecond-level synchronization among modules, and integrates with the entire suite of NI hardware - including arbitrary waveform generators, high-speed digital I/O, and other digitizers - so you can build and customize a complete mixed-signal or high-channel-count test system with up to 34 phase synchronous 1 GS/s channels in a single PXI chassis.
