  • 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India). Electronics Div.

Description

Eight channel CAMAC TDC with 50 pS resolution is designed and developed for GRACE project of NRL. The unit has conversion time of 108 μS with three time scale ranges of 100 nS, 200 nS, 500 nS with 11 bit resolution on each channel. The module approximately has DNL of 10% and INL of 2 counts. The module has individual start, common start, common stop inputs. The unit has in built calibration for start stop and reset function for ease of testing. These functions are available as CAMAC commands. The principle used is start-stop where a capacitor is charged with a high current and discharged with a small current giving time expansion. The duration of discharge time is counted by gating a synchronized clock. (author). 2 refs., 3 figs
