Description

The Model V851 is a single-width, 6U VME module. It accepts a single trigger input and generates six separately prorammable delay outpus. The six channels of delay may be combined in sequences to create three delay-and-width outputs. The module features a 32-bit dynamic range, 40-pSec resolution, low jitter, and high rep-rate capability.

All channels are triggered simultaneously, and the module generates a "T0" edge 30 nSec after the trigger, and six following delays (1 through 6) each programmable from to 0 to 167.8 ms.

The outputs can also be configured to generate widths. This uses two channels, 1 and 2, to generate a pulse whose incidence is determined by channels 1's timing value and whose termination is determinded by channel 2's timing value. Similarly, channels 3 and 4, as well as 5 and 6, can be combined to operate in the width mode.

The V851 delay parameters may be programmed on-the-fly at VME-bus speeds without any generation of erroneous delays. All six delay channels can be updated coherently.



Specifications: Model V851 VME Hex Digital Delay Generator

  • CONFORMANCE:
    Complies with ANSI/IEEE 1014-1987 VME-bus specifications.

    DEVICE TYPE:
    VME Register-based slave: A16:D16:D08(EO) capability.

    POWER REQUIRED:
    +12 : 500 mA; +5 : 3 A; -12 : 500 mA.

    PACKAGING
    Single-width 6U VME module/B-size VXI module.

    TIMING CHANNELS
    Six timing channels (1 through 6) are available. In DELAY mode, the V851 produces six independent delays. In WIDTH mode, channels 1 and 2 (as well as 3 and 4, 5 and 6) allow the generation of pulses with programmable delay and duration.

    TRIGGERING
    Triggers can be selected from the following: front panel EXT TRG, internal source, or VME-bus command trigger.

    REP RATE:
    Up to 2.5 MHz.

    INSERTION DELAY:
    30 nSec.

    RESOLUTION:
    39.0625 pSec LSB (equivalent to a clock rate of 25.6 GHz).

    RANGE:
    32 bits allows a full scale range of 167.7722 mSec on all channels.

    JITTER:
    Less than (50 pSec + 2.5 x 10-9 x programmed delay) RMS.

    ACCURACY:
    ± (500 pSec + timebase ability).

    TIMEBASE:
    Ovenized oscillator. Temperature coefficient less than 10 ppB/º aging below 1 ppM/year. This oscillator may be phase locked to a 10 MHz external reference via the fron panel CLOCK I/O connector.

    INPUTS:
    EXT TRG: Adjustable threshold level (±5 volts), slope, and termination (Hi-Z, 50 ohms into -2 volt, 50 ohms to -2 ground).

    OUTPUTS:
    One fixed position marker (T0) and six delay (1,2,3,4,5 and 6) outputs. In the DELAY mode, a given timing channel is routed to the similary numbered output. In the WIDTH mode, the width waveform generated timing channels 1 and 2, 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 are routed to outputs 2, 4 and 6 respectively. All outputs are commonly adjustable for a baseline of 0 to -2.5 volts and amplitude of 0 to +5 volts. The slew rates are better than 1V/nSec.

    CONNECTORS:
    SMB.
