Electronics readout packages on a TDC basis: compact - fast - USB 2.0

NEW: Multichannel FLEXI-TDC optimized for multihit-measurements

A 48-fold multichannel Flexi-TDC optimized for multihit-measurements has been developed on basis of our fast Flexi-TDC-System. 6 GPX TDCs with 8 input channels each and with one of them per TDC useable as a free programmable time reference input channel offer a multihit aquisition of e.g. up to 84 pulses/12.5ns. Data transfer with a transfer rate of up to 3Mcounts/s in the raw data mode is done via USB2.0. The measuring rate can be increased by a flexible programmable data pre-processing within the FPGA (e.g. histogram memory). Beside the standard input level NIM also customer specific adaptions are possible (e.g. LVTTL, PECL, ECL). 

Technical Data:
- 6 integrated ACAM GPX TDC chips
- Up to 48 input channels (8 per TDC)
- One input channel per TDC can be used as a
   free programmable time reference input
   channel
- Double pulse resolution of min. 6ns for events
   within one channel and 0ns between different
   channels (e.g. up to 84 pulses/12.5ns)
- Each channel consists of a 32-fold buffer for
   multihit aquisition
- 3 Mcounts/s transfer rate (in raw data mode,
   devided up to all used entrance channels) via
   USB2.0
- Higher measuring rates are possible, depending
   on data preprocessing within the FPGA
- Flexible data preprocessing programmable (e.g.
   internal histogram memory)
- Histogram resolution typ. 90ps
- Best possible resolution within a single histogram
   180ps
- Internal TDC readout frequency up to 40 MHz
- Input level NIM, other levels are available on
   demand (e.g. LVTTL, PECL, ECL)

Also available now: 4-fold to 6-fold multichannel Flexi-TDCs with an increased histogram resolution of up to 30ps. These devices contain 1 - 3 GPX chips with an internal readout frequency of up to 20 MHz each and 2 input channels per TDC. 

The NEW USB2.0-TDC:
Our improved Time-to-Digital Converters for all delay line detectors

Technical Data:
- Single ACAM GPX TDC chip
- 8 input channels
- up to 41 µm pixel size
- up to 81 ps digital time bin
   resolution
- up to 3 MHz countrate
- Internal TDC readout frequency up
   to 40 MHz
- Input level LVTTL

NIM Electronics

Beside the sophisticated developments for the ultrafast particle and x-ray detectors, Surface Concept extends its product spectrum by some useful electronics devices which may find interesting applications in labs dealing with measurement tasks in the range of some ten picoseconds.
