Voxtel
announced the availability of its YVX‑657 time-to-digital converter. This
processor has been designed for time-of-flight measurements for applications
including time-correlated spectroscopy, flash LADAR, medical imaging, and
quantum cryptography.
The
FPGA-based processor records the differential time of arrival between a
reference time and pulse arriving on any of the 8 CMOS input channels or 64
LVDS channels, with <35 ps of timing jitter. For each channel, up to 65,535
32-bit time stamps can be recorded, at a maximum input event rate of up to 125
million events per second for each channel. The time stamps are stored in
on-board memory before download to PC through gigabit Ethernet at a data rate
of 100 MB/s.
The
product was designed for easy integration with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM)
and single-photon-sensitive Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode detectors.
