Acqiris TC890 Time-to-Digital Converter 6 ch, 50 ps resolution

  • 6-channel multistop time-to-digital converter (TDC) with multistart acquisition mode
  • 50 ps timing resolution
  • Ideal for measurement in time-of-fl ight applications including mass spectrometry and LIDAR and for various pulse-timing measurements
  • Large internal memory buffer, with up to 4 million events
  • Low jitter (< 3 ps rms) stable (±2 ppm) internal clock source
  • External 10 MHz reference input
  • FPGA-based data processing unit
  • Fast DMA readout mode for increased data throughput
  • Data streaming mode allows continuous acquisition and readout
  • Built-in self test and status monitoring
  • Low power consumption (< 25 W)

To achieve the desired precision on all of the input chan- nels, the U1051A time-to-digital converter has a powerful self calibration routine. This self calibration is done simply through a software command available in the driver, so no extra programming is needed. Easy Integration Agilent Acqiris Time-to-Digital converters are supplied with software drivers for Windows ® and application code examples for MATLAB®, C/C++ and LabVIEW. These code examples provide card set up and basic acquisi tion functionality, and are easily modifi ed, so that the card can quickly be integrated into a measurement system. The fl exibility of the driver means that, with minimum soft- ware adjustments, any Acqiris TDC can be swapped out, replaced, and upgraded over time, with the latest high- resolution Acqiris Time-to-Digital converter. © Atlas Experiment, courtesy of CERN
