Page 66: Physical Overview
Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. Physical Overview Figure 1 - ATS9628 Overview ATS9628 has 5 SMA connectors: • ECLK: The external clock input • CH A: The channel A input • CH B: The channel B input • TRIG IN: The external trigger input •...
Page 68: Status Leds
Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. Status LEDs ATS9628 has 11 Status LEDs. Descriptions are provided below in the order in which they appear, from left to right, top to bottom: Figure 3 - ATS9628 Status LEDs • HRTBT (LED13): This LED should blink constantly. It indicates that one of the base clocks is running at the required frequency.
Page 69 If the test is completed successfully, this LED is turned on, otherwise it remains off. If this LED is off, there is a hardware problem with the ATS9628. • BUSY (LED12): This LED being on indicates that the board has been armed for capture.
Page 70 Note: for Power Monitor error outputs, the Status LED remains on even after the issue is resolved. To turn off the Status LED, you must press the “Clear Int.” button in the AlazarDSO Power Monitor plug-in or restart the computer. ATS9628 User Manual...
Page 71: Signal Connections
Use the TRIG IN input for an external trigger only; data on the TRIG channel cannot be digitized. Use the ECLK input for clocking the ATS9628 in applications that require an external clock. Signal levels are specified in detail in Appendix A - Specifications.
Page 72: Analog Input
For accurate measurements, make sure the signal being measured is referenced to the same ground as your ATS9628 by attaching the cable’s ground shield to the signal ground. The External Trigger input (labeled TRIG IN) either has a fixed input range of ±3 V with 50 Ω...
Page 73 Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. • Auxiliary I/O connectors: The ATS9628 has one Aux I/O connector whereas the ATS9626 has two Aux I/O connectors. • ATS9628 multi-board Leader/Follower systems require the Accessory: ATS Sync 4X1G for multi-board configurations whereas ATS9626 requires a SyncBoard-9626.
Page 74: Calibration
Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. Calibration Calibration is the process of minimizing measurement errors by making small circuit adjustments. All ATS9628 digitizers come factory calibrated to the levels indicated in Appendix Specifications. Note that AlazarTech calibration is fully NIST- or CNRC- traceable.
Page 75: External Clock
Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. External Clock The ATS9628 PCI Express Digitizer allows you to bypass the on-board clock oscillator and supply your ADC clock. This feature is extremely important in many RF applications in which phase measurements must be made between the inputs themselves or between the inputs and an external event.
Page 76 10 MHz Reference Clock ATS9628 allows the user to synchronize the sampling clock to an external 10 MHz reference signal. This is useful in many RF applications. Reference clock frequency must be 10 MHz ± 0.1 MHz and should have a high slew rate.
Page 77: Oct Ignore Bad Clock
Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. OCT Ignore Bad Clock AlazarTech has developed OCT Ignore Bad Clock, a technology that can effectively ignore the k-clock signal for a user-specified amount of time. This is useful in OCT applications if the k-clock falls out of specification during the return.
Page 78: Optional ±200Mv Input Range Upgrade
Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. Optional ±200mV Input Range Upgrade ATS9628 has two DC-coupled analog input channels. Each channel has analog input bandwidth from DC to 120 MHz. The full-scale input range is fixed at ±1.25 V. For applications that require capture of small signals, customers can purchase the ATS9628: ±200mV Input Range Upgrade (order number ATS9628-014) that...
Page 79: Accessory: Ats Sync 4X1G For Multi-Board Configurations
Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. Accessory: ATS Sync 4X1G for multi-board configurations The AlazarTech ATS® Sync 4X1G is a device that allows simultaneous sampling across up to 4 independent AlazarTech waveform digitizers. This is achieved by providing common clock and trigger signals to each digitizer.
Page 80 Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. Figure 7 – ATS Sync 4X1G Connection Diagram Up to 4 ATS9628 digitizers can be connected to provide an acquisition system with up to 8 channels. Use with digitizers operating at different sample rates It is also possible to use ATS Sync 4X1G with AlazarTech waveform digitizers operating at different sampling rates.
Page 81: Optional Extended Warranty
Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. Optional Extended Warranty The ATS9628, like all AlazarTech digitizers, includes a standard one (1) year parts and labor warranty. However, customers might want to extend this warranty to further protect their product(s). If a waveform digitizer is out of warranty, the user will not be eligible for free...

Page 83: Streaming Data Across The Bus
Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. Streaming Data Across the Bus One of the most unique features of the ATS9628 is its on-board, dual-port acquisition memory, with custom Direct Memory Access (DMA), that can be used for signal storage. Data is acquired into the on-board memory before being transferred to the host PCT memory.
Page 84 This requires a software handshake which is heavily dependent on the operating system response time. ATS9628 solves this problem by providing on-board memory that can act as a very deep FIFO and an advanced custom DMA engine that can stream data to PC host memory at up to 1.6 GB/s (exact rate is motherboard dependent).
Page 85 Software still has to get involved in re-arming the hardware after every capture and again for reading the data from on-board acquisition memory. ATS9628’s proprietary AutoDMA circuitry allows the acquisition system to be re- armed by a hardware command and data transfer to be initiated by the hardware itself, thus removing virtually all “in-process”...
Page 86 ATS9628 features a high-performance memory management firmware that allows much faster data throughput in Traditional mode than previous generation digitizers. Traditional AutoDMA is the fastest way to move data into user buffers. It is the recommended method for new designs such as the ATS9628. ATS9628 User Manual...
Page 87 NPT AutoDMA can easily acquire data to PC host memory at the maximum sustained transfer rate of the motherboard without causing an overflow. This is the recommended mode of operation for most ultrasonic scanning, OCT and medical imaging applications. ATS9628 User Manual...
Page 88 Continuous AutoDMA is also known as the data streaming mode. In this mode, data starts streaming across the PCI bus as soon as the ATS9628 is armed for acquisition. It is important to note that triggering is disabled in this mode.
Page 89 Triggered Streaming AutoDMA can easily acquire data to PC host memory at the maximum sustained transfer rate of the motherboard without causing an overflow. This is the recommended mode for RF signal recording that has to be started at a specific time, e.g. based on a GPS pulse. ATS9628 User Manual...
Page 90: Output Data Format
Copyright © 2025 Alazar Technologies Inc. Output Data Format By default, ATS9628 data comes out as unsigned binary, where code 0 represents the negative full scale, code (2 -1) represents the positive full scale with zero being 2 It is possible to change the data format to signed binary using an API call.

Page 95 ±2 ppm Dynamic Parameters Typical values measured on the 400 mV range of CH A of a randomly selected ATS9628. Input signal was provided by a Rohde & Schwarz SMB100A signal generator, followed by a 9-pole, 10 MHz band-pass filter (TTE Q36T-50M-5M-50-720BMF). Input frequency was set at 49.9 MHz at -0.5 dBFS, which was approximately 95% of the full scale input.
