A signal acquisition circuit for acquiring data of an input signal comprising at least n acquisition units, wherein n is integer greater than one, the n acquisition units comprising k inputs, wherein k is integer greater than one, and wherein at least two inputs are assigned to one channel and the corresponding acquisition units run time interleaved, and at least one trigger unit, wherein the number 1 of the at least one trigger unit is integer and wherein 1 is smaller than k. Further, a single-housed device as well as a method of acquiring data of an input signal are described.

Signal acquisition circuit, a single-housed device as well as method of acquiring data of an input signal

An acquisition system includes a first acquisition and quantizer unit, a second acquisition and quantizer unit as well as a trigger unit. The first and second acquisition and quantizer units are configured to receive a respective interleaved digitized input signal, to acquire the respective interleaved digitized input signal, to quantize the respective interleaved digitized input signal, and to output a respective quantized interleaved digitized input signal. The trigger unit is configured to receive the respective quantized interleaved digitized input signals from the first and second acquisition and quantizer units. The trigger unit is further configured to de-interleave the respective quantized interleaved digitized input signals. The trigger unit is configured to generate a de-interleaved quantized digitized input signal. The trigger unit is also configured to detect an event in the de-interleaved quantized digitized input signal. Further, a method of acquiring a high bandwidth input signal is described.
