Low cost pulse conversion
Have you ever experienced frustration at not being able to connect two instruments together because you need a NIM signal but you've only got TTL? Or perhaps you're faced with a non-standard or analogue pulse when you really need a nice clean logic one. We are aware of this problem, so we designed a flexible converter box - a spin off from our fast electronics development.
The TB-01 contains a high-speed leading-edge discriminator circuit that can be configured to detect positive or negative pulses and to trigger on rising or falling edges. But the flexibility does not end there. NIM or TTL-compatible outputs can be selected, and both the threshold voltage and blocking width/output duration can be adjusted.
The TB-01 is the
tool you've always wanted around your lab but could never
justify buying - well now you can't
afford
to be without one!
Applications
The TB-01 pulse converter has more uses than we can think of. Here are just a few...
- Use the TB-01 with a photodiode to generate sync pulses from your mode-locked laser with picosecond timing performance
- Convert positive and negative pulses to fast-NIM
- Convert positive and negative pulses to 50R TTL
- Convert fast-NIM to TTL and vice versa
- The TB-01 can even be used as a photomultiplier discriminator
