Voxtel has unveiled its TDC event-timing solution for medical imaging, particle and nuclear physics.
The 64-channel time-to-digital convertor (TDC) is designed for high channel count applications that require accurate conversion of a time interval into a digital output.
TDCs help to determine the time an event occurs by generating the time difference between the leading edge of a common reference signal and the leading edge of an input pulse event.
Voxtel’s all-digital TDC YVX-657 time-stamps incoming signal pulses arriving simultaneously on all 64 channels and has on-board capacity to store up to 262,144 time stamps per channel—with a precision of 32 picoseconds.
For input signal tallying, the TDC can also be used as a free-running high-resolution counter, where each individual channel can record and store in local memory the time of arrival of the rising edge of input signals.
