Product Details

ORTEC 567 Time to Amplitude Converter TAC and Single Channel Analyzer SCA

Suitable for time spectrum analysis within the range of 10 ns to 2 ms
Including SCA, in order to comply with the experimental setting time window
Effective startup and effective conversion output
Optional output delay and width
Synchronize output with stop or external gating signals
Reject unwanted start or stop input signals
Positive and negative input signals

The ORTEC 567 Time Amplitude Converter/Single Channel Analyzer (TAC/SCA) can measure the time interval between start and stop input pulses, generate analog output pulses proportional to the measurement time, and provide analysis of built-in single channel analog signals. This unit does not require additional gating modules and can complete timed experiments that require a time range of 10 ns to 2 ms through single channel analysis, providing flexibility for experimenters to analyze random events that occur within a selected time range.

More information+

The independent gating (anti coincidence or coincidence) of starting and stopping inputs eliminates unwanted events in the time spectrum through externally applied energy or timing constraints. The 567 model also has a built-in SCA disable function, which means that the TAC output is only available when the output pulse falls within the window limit range applied by SCA. This function can be switched on or off through a convenient front panel switch.

In addition to the start and stop input gating function, the 567 model also provides pulse or DC level reset/disable signals through the front panel input connector. The reset/disable input signal will terminate the conversion cycle and maintain the reset condition, and further TAC conversion can be disabled during the duration of the reset/disable pulse. The TAC output pulse that is currently in progress when receiving a reset/disable input will be completed before the converter reset is initiated.

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. Effective conversion occurs between the end of internal delay after stopping and the end of reset.

The selectable TAC output width and variable delay (easily adjustable) increase the flexibility of the 567 instrument The output of TAC can be synchronized with the stop signal or external gate signal, further enhancing its versatility.

The 567 type single channel analyzer allows experimenters to set very precise time limits for timed spectra. SCA operates in window mode, where the high-level discriminator setting is added to the low-level discriminator setting. The SCA output pulse width is equal to the time from the occurrence of TAC output to the end of the reset pulse or to the end of TAC output. The synchronization of SCA output and stop input almost eliminates any time drift in SCA output.

All 567 model inputs can be selected through printed circuit board (PWB) jumpers and can accept positive and negative NIM standard signals. All input and output terminals are DC coupled, so changing the input count rate will not hinder the normal operation of the 567 model. The TAC output should be connected to the DC coupling input of the multi-channel analyzer (MCA) to achieve high counting rate performance.
