NIM 2 TTL converter
MPD NIM 2 TTL converter is a module capable to convert an input NIM pulse to a Low Voltage TTL output pulse with the same width. This new instrumentation, completely based on solid-state components, fully maintains the input time-jitter performance without the typical drawbacks of passive pulse inverters at high pulse rates.
NIM to TTL converter -800mV NIM standard input pulse converted to 2.7V Low Voltage TTL standard
High performance < 5 ps timing jitter
MODULE FEATURES
• 12 V power supply

• No baseline recovery as with passive inverters
BIOMEDICAL APPLICATION
• Correlation Measurements
• Spectroscopy
• Time-correlated single photon counting
• Optical TomographyINDUSTRIAL APPLICATION
• Streak camera synchronization
• Short gate acquisition experiments
