A 100 MHz time-to-digital-converter system in VMEbus Article uri icon

abstract

  • A new designed multi-channel (18 channels), multi-hit (<255) and multi-event (<255) Time to Digital Converter (TDC) system, consisting of discriminator- and TDC-modules, is described. The TDC with a time resolution of 10ns is optimized for fast readout at high event rates. To achieve high speed throughput the system is built up in VMEbus for full 32 bit data transfer in combination with powerful VME processor modules for data processing. All TDC modules in one VME crate can be read out by one block transfer. Copyright © 1990 by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
