Up to 3.2 GS/s digitizer DT5743

8-channel12-bitPCIe

The Mod. DT5743 is a Desktop module housing 8 Channel 12 bit 3.2 GS/s Switched Capacitor Digitizer, with 2.5 Vpp single-ended input dynamics, issued from the collaboration with CEA/IRFU & CNRS/IN2P3/LAL and based on SAMLONG chip. A programmable DAC on each channel allows for DC Offset adjustment in the ±1.25 V range. The analog input signals are continuously sampled into the SAMLONGs (sampling intervals down to 312.5 ps) in a circular analog memory buffer (1024 cells). As a trigger signal arrives, all analog memory buffers are frozen and subsequently digitized with a resolution of 12 bits into a digital memory buffer. During analog to digital conversion process, the DT5743 cannot handle other triggers (Dead Time: 125 us). The memory buffer allows to store up to 7 full events for each cannel (1 event = 1024x12bit). The buffer can be read by USB or Optical Link simultaneously with write operation of successive events. The module features front panel Clock Input and a PLL for clock synthesis from internal/external references. DT5743 supports multi-board synchronization allowing all switched capacitor memories to be synchronized to a common clock source and ensuring Trigger time stamps alignment. Once synchronized, all data will be aligned and coherent across multiple DT5743 boards
