QDAC-II
- Channels 24
- Resolution 25-bit
- Sample Rate 1 MS/s
- Voltage Step 0.12 μV
- Filters 3-range switchable
- Applications Gate, flux bias
QDAC-II is Quantum Machines’ 24-channel, ultra-low-noise voltage source for precise DC and intermediate-frequency control of quantum electronics and QPUs.
Each of its 24 channels runs five voltage generators in parallel, DC, sine, triangle, square, and arbitrary waveform, alongside a dedicated current sensor for gate-leakage detection. A 300 kHz filter handles fast, multi-dimensional gate voltage sweeps during tune-up, then switches to a 10 Hz filter for ultra-low-noise, 25-bit DC operation once the device reaches its operating point, with minimal transients between the two.
Overview
QDAC-II is Quantum Machines’ 24-channel, ultra-low-noise voltage source for DC and intermediate-frequency control of quantum electronics, from gate electrodes to flux bias coils. Its per-channel current sensors and switchable filters make it equally suited to fast tune-up sweeps and stable, long-duration operation points across a full quantum experiment.
