An eight-channel time-to-digital converter on a VME board
Description
An eight-channel time-to-digital converter in a one-slot VME module has been developed. It is based on eight TAC sections and a 1 μs conversion time ADC unit with 12 bit resolution. Start and Stop input signals can be either NIM or ECL pulses and the Common-Start mode is available. The full-scale time range can be on-board selected between four values from 100 to 800 ns. The integral nonlinearity is less than ±0.04% for all ranges. The Low and High thresholds of any channel and other functions can be remotely controlled. (orig.)
