Waters Mass Spectrometer Fast ADC Lite PCB Assembly

The Waters 700008950 Fast ADC Lite PCB Assembly is a critical electronic component specifically engineered for signal processing within Waters' high-resolution Time-of-Flight (ToF) mass spectrometers. Its primary function is to serve as the Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), where it samples the continuous analog electrical signal generated by the ion detector at extremely high frequencies. This board then converts that signal into digital data that the instrument's software can record, a process that is fundamental to the instrument's sensitivity, dynamic range, and ability to resolve narrow signal peaks accurately.

Regarding compatibility, this "Lite" version of the assembly is distinct from the standard Fast ADC boards found in earlier generations. It is designed for use in the Waters Synapt G2-Si and Synapt XS quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-ToF) systems. It is often identified internally by part number 4727200DC2 and operates as a key part of the data acquisition architecture, typically functioning in conjunction with the Adlink M946 Embedded PC (EPC) module. It is generally not compatible with earlier Synapt G2 or Xevo G2 models, which utilize the non-Lite version of the board (700004981).

Used; excellent condition.
