Acqiris Time-to-Digital Converter TC840: 12 ch, 50 ps resolution TC842: 12 ch, 5 ps resolution

  • 12 channel, single stop, time-to-digital converter (TDC) with single start and multistart acquisition modes
  • 5 ps or 50 ps timing resolution
  • Ideal for measurements in large scale experiments including particle accelerator timing, nuclear fusion studies and sub-critical/explosive testing
  • Wide range with up to 20 s between fi rst and last events
  • Internal memory buffer, with up to 512 events
  • Low jitter (< 3 ps rms) high stability (±2 ppm) internal clock source
  • External 10 MHz reference input
  • FPGA based data processing
  • Fast DMA readout for increased data throughput
  • Overvoltage-protected inputs, with 50 Ω K-lock connec- tors
  • Built-in self calibration
  • Low power consumption (< 25 W)
