Zmod Digitizer 1430-123 Module

The Digilent Zmod digitizer is a SYZYGY™-compatible module containing a dual-channel ADC and the associated front end. The Zmod digitizer is intended to be used with any SYZYGY-compatible carrier board having the required capabilities.

When coupled to a base board using the SYZYGY expansion, like the Eclypse Z7 or Genesys ZU, the combination will serve as a powerful prototyping platform for instrumentation, high-speed control, and SDR. By utilizing these expansion capabilities, users can spend more time on the analytical and system-level aspects of the solution rather than having to focus on the component-level interactions of the devices.

The Zmod digitizer module is a variant of the similar Zmod scope module but optimized for RF signal acquisition and frequency-domain analysis. The simpler DC-coupled input and 60 MHz anti-aliasing input filter improve immunity to stray RF radiation and the versatile and very low-jitter on board clock generator enables acquisition at key rates, including 122.8 MHz often used in SDR applications.
