Product Details

ORTEC 566 Time to Amplitude Converter TAC

Suitable for time spectrum analysis within the range of 10 ns to 2 ms
Effective startup and effective conversion output
Optional output delay and width
Synchronize output with stop or external gating signals
Reject unwanted startup input signals
Positive and negative input signals

The ORTEC 566 Time Amplitude Converter (TAC) can measure the time interval between the start and stop input pulses and generate analog output pulses proportional to the measurement time. It can be used to perform timed experiments that require a time range of 10 ns to 2 ms, allowing experimenters to flexibly analyze random events that occur within a selected time range. Provide a time range of 50 ns to 2 ms through the front panel controls.

More information+

The starting input of the 566 type can be disabled by the pulse or DC level on the rear panel door input connector.

Provide effective start and effective transition outputs for each accepted start and stop input. The duration of effective startup output represents the time interval from the received startup to the end of the reset. The effective conversion output occurs between the end of the internal delay after stopping and the end of the reset.

The selectable TAC output width and variable delay (easily adjustable) increase the flexibility of the 566 instrument, making it easy to adapt to various time spectrum systems. The output of TAC can be synchronized with the stop signal or external gate signal, further enhancing its versatility.

The 566 model adopts DC coupling and gate control, so the input count rate will not be paralyzed or otherwise hinder normal operation. The TAC output should be connected to the DC coupling input of the multi-channel analyzer to achieve high counting rate performance.
