The AR8007 is a four channel, 14-bit 250 Mega-Sample Per
Second (MSPS) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) compatible with the AR1006 Dual Mezzanine FPGA processor. With
the use of two separate AR8007 modules on a Dual Mezzanine FGPA processor a total of 8 channels of analog data
can be sampled, digitized and processed on a single AR1006
Dual Mezzanine FPGA Processor. When combined with an
DAC mezzanine card, such as the AR8006 Four Channel 1.2
GSPS 14-Bit DAC mezzanine card, a single AR1006 can
generate four arbitrary waveforms and digitize the returned
waveforms, providing a complete data acquisition solution in
a single 6U VME card.
The AR8007 ADC chipset allows for either baseband or second Nyquist band real-time sampling of analog IF or RF
signals with over 550 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth and 11.3 effective bits.
PR
A single onboard PLL clock is used to clock all four ADC channels. The AR8007 has the option for an external CMOS
clock input signal which may be used to sample the four ADC input channels. A front panel MMCX connector is available for this purpose.
The AR8007 contains an external input trigger signal which is used to synchronize data collection of multiple AR8007
modules. The single external input trigger signal initializes data sampling across all four ADC channels

Functional Specifications
PR
The AR8007 has four SMA input connectors which are transformer-coupled to the four 14-bit, 200 MSPS ADC channel
inputs. An onboard switch network allows for selection of either an onboard VCO generated clock configured with
the use of an onboard phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit, or an external clock input, which may optionally be fed to the
PLL or used to directly sample the ADCs. An external clock output is provided for phase-aligning multiple AR8007
modules. A single CMOS trigger logic circuit is provided for synchronizing the four ADC channel inputs on a single
mezzanine module, along with an external trigger input used to synchronize data collection of all four ADC channel
inputs of multiple AR8007.
