V538A

8 Channel NIM-ECL/ECL-NIM Translator

Features

  • 8 independent NIM to ECL/NIM and ECL to NIM/ECL channels
  • NIM and ECL fan-out of 2
  • 300 MHz maximum operating frequency
  • COMMON IN input with a fan-out of 16 (both NIM and ECL)
  • I/O delay <5 ns

Overview

The CAEN Mod. V538A is a 1-unit wide VME module housing 8 independent logic level translators.
Each of the 8 channels accepts a NIM or ECL signal and provides two NIM and two ECL outputs (OUT 0÷7 A, B). The NIM and ECL inputs of each channel are ORed prior to fan-out.
The maximum operating frequency is 300 MHz.
Two front panel input bridged connectors accept a COMMON IN NIM signal, which allows the use of the module as a fan-out of 16 NIM and 16 ECL signals.
