... ADC08D15X0 may be configured to sample at 2 GSPS or 3 GSPS, respectively, in Dual Edge Sampling (DES) mode. This development board is designed to function with National Semiconductor’s WaveVision Software, for fast evaluation. It requires only three connections to get started: a power supply, a USB Interface to a PC, and a signal source. An on-board clock generator is provided, and the system also allows for an external clock to be used if alternate sample rates are required ...

... Clocking The USB Microcontroller is clocked by its own 24 MHz crystal oscillator. The ADC is clocked by either a National Semiconductor PLL and a VCO device external clock source. Switching between clock sources is done through a relay controlled by the WaveVision software. The PLL and VCO devices are selected to provide a 500 MHz, 1000 MHz or 1500 MHz very low jitter on-board clock depending on which ADC is used ...
