Voxtel has announced the YVX-657 time-to-digital converter for time-of-flight measurements in applications such as time-correlated spectroscopy, medical imaging and quantum cryptography.
The FPGA-based processor records the differential time of arrival between a reference time and pulse arriving on any of the eight CMOS input channels or 64 LVDS channels, with less than 35ps of timing jitter.
For each channel, up to 65,535 32-bit time stamps can be recorded, at a maximum input event rate of up to 125 million events per second for each channel.
The time stamps are stored in onboard memory before download to PC through gigabit Ethernet at a data rate of 100MB/s.
The product was designed for integration with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and single-photon-sensitive Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode detectors.
The product is available for immediate delivery to OEM system integrators.
