FMC TDC 1ns 5cha
The FMC TDC 1ns 5cha Time to Digital Converter mezzanine board houses 5
input channels. It can calculate time differences between pulses
arriving to the channels with a precision of ±700 ps.
It can be carried by any of the carrier boards:
SPEC or
SVEC. It is implemented using
a dedicated time-to-digital converter chip from the European company
ACAM.
