Hybrid analog to digital (ADC) technology has been built into the Sirius XHS data acquisition (DAQ) system. Hybrid ADC combines the capabilities of both major ADC types into a single unit. It also increases the sample rate per channel from the typical 200 kS/s for delta-sigma and 1 MS/s for successive approximation (SAR) to 15 MS/s. The technology combines ring-free high-speed sampling with high dynamic range, anti-aliased performance, covering all major DAQ applications with a single instrument.
