Product Overview 

The Mini PCIe ADC is based on a custom FPGA controller and SPI ADCs.  The following block diagram shows the 
connection between the interfaces.  Each SPI bus is independent, and managed by separate control block.  
Connection to analog signals is provided by single high density latching connector.
